about

The second single from Peter Cat's 'The Magus' EP.

lyrics

We never went far
We were much too mashed for that
We just ground our teeth together
In your HMO flat
Sweating and boasting in turn
Of how big a deal we’d been
In other arms, in other scenes, and in our dreams

So do you like this song? 
My mother sang it
And it was a minor hit
In the eighties

The bitter taste of anticipation
How could I ever have lived without this?
This craving for what never existed
No such thing as blue raspberry

You spoke in words buoyed by experience
The louche confidence that comes from playing a young man’s game
You saw I was parched and you said that you knew just the thing
To quench that thirst
Sucking on our pops, under a horribly hot
Tottenham sun, we sat on the swings
And said nothing

The bitter taste of anticipation
How could I ever have lived without this?
This craving for what never existed
No such thing as blue raspberry

So was it love, or was it lust
Or was it just intellectual sustenance?
What does it matter?
I'll drag you down into dirt
In search of unending highs
That I'll never find

No such thing as a blue raspberry
You’re the mine and I’m the canary
No such thing as a blue raspberry
You’re the mine and I’m the canary
I’m as lonely as hell
I’m as lonely as hell
I’m as lonely as hell
Beam me up, softboi
