about

Poolside is a song about 'the other woman' written whilst remembering the summer where I'd wait under palms for someone to arrive. And the moon would be swimming in the water of the pool at midnight. I'd cool my heels and stay next to the hydrangeas where we met every time, like a vision of darkness. Driving through those summer nights on highways lined with lights. Up until the night he left forever. And I still go down to the poolside to wait for him to return.

lyrics

Let me take you down to my favourite place by the poolside
Where concrete flamingos surround us
And all the palm trees can do is watch us
And i'll let you kiss my cherry wine lips in the moonlight

I'll be right here waiting for you
Singing your Jazz and Blues

Hanging by the poolside
The boys like to drink their beer while they're watching me swim
Hanging by the poolside
I got you just where i want you
I'll put on a dance for you
I'll touch your body while i do it
We don't need no one but each other
Hanging by the poolside
I'm waiting I'm waiting I'm waiting
I'm aching I'm aching I'm aching
I'm waiting I'm waiting I'm waiting I'm waiting for you

Gaze deep into my sad brown eyes and play me guitar
Still unsure of the life that you're living
While you read to me the stories that you've written
About poets and lovers and hedonists and unwritten love affairs

Let me be your work of art while we plan our escape
Take me in your Mercedes filming me on video tape
Hanging by the poolside
The boys like to drink their beer while they're watching me swim

Hanging by the poolside
I got you just where i want you
I'll put on a dance for you
I'll touch your body while i do it
We don't need no one but each other
Hanging by the poolside
I'm waiting I'm waiting I'm waiting
I'm aching I'm aching I'm aching
I'm waiting I'm waiting I'm waiting I'm waiting for you

about

Flossy Jones Brighton, UK

As a city girl Flossy Jones envisioned a life more than the melancholic monotony of a big city underdog, drifting from bar to bar singing Jazz to keep desire alive. She channelled her fantasies constructing a dark new reality. Blending cinematic instrumentation and electronic beats, destabilising lyrics led by a sultry vocal line reminiscent of Lana Del Rey, Sky Ferreira and Wolf Alice. ... more
