About this song

There’s a Couple comes from island life: place, belonging, summer energy and the way a local home can open the imagination to a much bigger world.

Lyrics

With board in hand I’m hot for a wave,
On the way to main beach I run into Dave,
He’s sittin’ down, lookin’ all dazed.
I ask, "How’s it goin’, any good waves?"
He turns, he looks, he smirks and says….

There’s a couple,” yeah, that’s what they say,
But don’t believe it, it don’t mean you’ll play.
If they tell ya there’s two, you’re shit outta luck,
’Cause a couple means you’re not gonna score much\!

I’m off to the pub, tryna find me a chick,
Run into Mick, he’s got that old-school shtick.
I ask, “Any girls ‘round? What’s the deal?”
He just grins and gives me the spiel…

“There’s a couple,” yeah, that’s what they say,
But don’t believe it, it don’t mean you’ll play.
If they tell ya there’s two, you’re shit outta luck,
’Cause a couple means you’re not gonna score much\!

Maybe it’s just one, maybe it’s none,
Maybe it’s just a way to make fun.
No need to check, no need to roam,
Mate, best you just head back home\!

Going fishing with a mate or two,
We run into Boo, and say, “Any good news?”
He casts his line, and casually points,
To the empty bucket and says…

“There’s a couple,”
Yeah, that’s what they say,
But don’t believe it, it don’t mean you’ll play.
If they tell ya there’s two, you’re shit outta luck,
’Cause a couple means you’re not gonna score\!
Oh Yeah....
Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh.
Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh.
Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh.
“There’s a couple,” Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh.
Yeah, that’s what they say,
But don’t believe it, it don’t mean you’ll play.
If they tell ya there’s two, you’re shit outta luck,
’Cause a couple means you’re not gonna score much\!

Oh Yeah....
Ah Mate…
Best not hold your breath, ay?”
