the scent of new skins: lyrics

tó manel (waltz) (go back)

no, i don’t want to ride on your motorbike
that isn’t something that i’ll ever like
tó manel, tó manel
i don’t remember you well

that was the first time i saw my father cry
he just stood there and bawled it was sad to my eyes
tó manel, tó manel
i don’t remember you well

my cousin died he never got to grow up
and that guy just kept riding off in the dusk
tó manel, tó manel
i’m sorry but i don’t remember you well

a silhouette of a memory is all that i have
tó manel in orange-red shorts hopping over a fence
tó manel, tó manel
i don’t even remember you well

no, i don’t want to ride on your motorbike
that isn’t something that i’ll ever like
tó manel, tó manel
i don’t remember you well
