Seagulls Screaming Kiss Her, Kiss Her Lyrics

It's raining on the beach
She inches close but out of reach
The waves look painted on
Seagulls screaming

The sea is warship grey
It whispers ``Fool!'' then slides away
Black coastline slumbers on
Seagulls screaming kiss her, kiss her

And all the flags that flap on the pier
Spell why on earth do you want
The fog hides much but one thing is clear
She's nearer

Dead deck chairs under shrouds
And life belts gape like minstrel mouths
Her hair still smells of salt
Seagulls screaming kiss her, kiss her
Kiss her, kiss her, kiss her, kiss her
He who hesitates is lost

If you want her, you should tell her
Take her by the hand If you hesitate
If you wait, November wins her November will win her
She returns to sand So get ahold of the girl

I say I like your coat
Her thank-you tugs my heart afloat
I nearly didn't hear for
Seagulls screaming kiss her, kiss her

He who hesitates is lost

think it simply means, a hesitant guy walking along the beach with a girl he likes, with negative thoughts in his head, "it whispers fool! then slides away" then hes helped "her thank-you tugs my heart afloat" ;from sinking under negative thoughts" and ofcourse the seagulls clearly stating the obvious...

great tune to listen to walking home stoned at night! the bassline. x

"spell why on earth do you want" sounds more like "spell why on earth do you WAIT" makes more sesnse. x
