Surfing Magazines Lyrics

We used to get our kicks reading surfing magazines

Some good looking people wearing

Lee Cooper jeans

They're breaking on the headland, they're breaking on the shore

And when you're living in Hawaii they're breaking at your door




We used to wet our fingers on surfing magazines

Going to throw school and follow those scenes

Going to get a Kombi and go from beach to beach

Be the kind of people the Authorities can't reach




We used to get our kicks reading surfing magazines

Wake up in the morning and the waves are clean

Standing on the headland taking in the scene

Just like they do it ... in surfing magazines

i think this is a brilliant song detailing the teenage years of the artist. most likely during the seventies because no one surfs these days apart from people that surfed in the seventies.

Four years have gone by, and no one has refuted this asinine assertation that "no one surfs these days apart from people that surfed in the seventies". Wowzers.

Haha that's exactly the kind of life I used to dream of when I was a little kid... Well, I still do actually ;)
