lyrics

Climbing on the train for a trip to the seaside
New trunks, no bucket or spade
Promised myself to learn to swim this summer
Confidence starting to fade
It’s hard to learn to swim, mouthfuls of sea, making you choke
But when you throw away the armbands you feel stronger
Growing up with every stroke

Dig beneath the dust, beneath the dust, beneath the dust
The past is never dead, it’s only sleeping
Dig beneath the dust, then tuck it into bed

Walking up to Sunninghill on Saturday morning
For library books and lardy cake
Mother traded green shield stamps for roller skates
Found out the hard way how to brake
You learn to ride a bike by falling off so many times
But it's worth it in the end when you can do it
Without a friend holding on

Dig beneath the dust, beneath the dust, beneath the dust
The past is never dead, it’s only sleeping
Dig beneath the dust, then tuck it into bed

Every time you wake a memory, it changes
Picking over the details rearranges everything

Walking up to school each day, a different adventure
Scuffing my new shoes on the way
Creeping past the wolf hound snarling by the gate
They said he only, wanted to play
A rocket to the moon, on the TV, in black and while
I felt they must be cold up there
I watched the moon, every night.

Dig beneath the dust, beneath the dust, beneath the dust
The past is never dead, it’s only sleeping
Dig beneath the dust, then tuck it into bed
