Forest Hills
Arab Strap

We phoned up and left a story with their parents

We told them mine were still there

So they couldn't come until tomorrow

I think we just wanted some time to ourselves

Because we knew that by then everyone wasn't getting on


So we sat on the veranda and watched the sun set over the loch

Listened to some quiet tunes, finished a bottle of whiskey

And agreed that it'd never be as good as before

Like when we met those girls and we went swimming at night


Except Mathew, who still can't swim

They were younger than us, we never got anywhere in the end

But it would've spoiled it if we had

And we piled up all the empties against the big window

And I had everybody pose in front, I took the pictures


Then there was that time we gatecrashed the graduation ball

In the hotel next to the lodge

Pretended to be students and pretended to be their pals

They were dressed in their kilts and evening gowns

And we walked in with our jeans and gutties on


Nearly got our heads kicked in

And on the way back we bumped into that guy

With the pro-life sticker on his car window

And he got some abuse


But it turned out they had phoned my house

And spoke to my mum, so they knew we were here

And they turned up at about one or two

By that time we were really pissed

So the holiday didn't really get off to a good start


And you didn't really help matters

When you went with Neil's girlfriend

We never see them now

But I can't say I miss them
