Après Ski - Cinerama

The radio’s on, it’s some jazzy 60s song

She makes him laugh out loud by trying to sing along

But how many years has it been since she was seventeen?

Still, she is flattered that someone so young’s so keen

And so she won’t refuse, well, what’s she got to lose, when she sees him

glancing?

This kind of evening could be life enhancing

And so they talk all night until it’s almost light and then it’s back to his

place

Then she sees the uneasy look on his face

A gentle breeze shakes the petals from the trees

She says «Do what you like» because boys aren’t hard to please

It’s over fast, although he tries to make it last

And then they lie and watch the sky turn overcast

It didn’t mean a thing, it’s not embarrassing, it was just disappointing

She goes back to work and all her friends are pointing

And in a sixties song she’d go and prove them wrong but this is too confusing

She gets what she wants but still ends up losing

She thought she’d turn a boy into a man

But in real life some things don’t go to plan

And so she won’t refuse, well, what’s she got to lose, when she sees him

glancing?

This kind of evening could be life enhancing

And so they talk all night until it’s almost light and then it’s back to his

place

Then she sees the uneasy look on his face

It didn’t mean a thing, it’s not embarrassing, it was just disappointing

She goes back to work and all her friends are pointing

And in a sixties song she’d go and prove them wrong but this is too confusing

She gets what she wants but still ends up losing
