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?”
