lyrics

People spoke of Sel and Pepper all over town
When they spoke of things that would stand up
When the sky was falling down

But Sel chased after a European dream
And Pepper crossed the border to find herself in the sea
Now they'll never be

Life is so infrequently what you thought it would be
Life is so infrequently what you hoped it would be

Ollie grew up much too early, matured by force
Kissed the dirt for softening pavement
Kissed his alcohol for making him hoarse

But then one day he discovered both his arms
And to his surprise found them capable of keeping someone else from harm
Sure signs of nature's alarm

Life is so infrequently what you thought it would be
Life is so infrequently what you've resigned for it to be

What we've planned for
Is a vast shore
Where all too often good intentions wash away
Where we start for
Hasn't any score
With the place we'll occupy when we decide to stay
