Latchmere Lyrics

Swim, swim, swim, swim, swimming
Stay in your lanes
Swim, swim, swim, swim, swimming
Just stay in your lanes

No bombing and no heavy petting
So just stay in your lanes
Verruca socks and not forgetting to
Just stay in your lanes

Madames and monsieurs please return to your cubicles x 8

Latchmere’s got a wave machine

Oo oo oo oo oo oo
Oo oo oo oo oo x 4

Came out of the changing rooms
Absolutely nothing had changed
So I stayed in your lanes

Came out of the changing room
And absolutely sod all had changed
So I’ll stay in your lanes

Speedo, speed wise
Speedo, speed wise
Speedo, speed wise
So I stayed in your lanes

Bebop?

Stay in your…

Madames and monsieurs please return to your cubicles x 8

Latchmere’s got a wave machine

Oo oo oo oo oo oo
Oo oo oo oo oo x 2

Stay in your lanes
Stay
Just stay in your lanes
Stay
Just stay in your
La-ah-ah-ohh-ohh

Latchmere’s got a wave machine.

To above: the single version says sod all.

And, according to their interview on Xfm, the hidden meaning is 'the little things in life are what matter. if someone doesn't matter to someone else, it still means a lot to you'

Cover art for Latchmere lyrics by Maccabees, The

Stay in your lanes - metaphor for restrictive rules of society.

No bombing and no heavy petting. Don’t get violent or sexual.

Veruca socks - metaphor for condoms?

Madames and monsters return to your cubicles. You kids have been getting too frisky. Get back to your rooms.

Latchmere’s got a wave machine. Maybe the wave machine will shake things up.

Maybe the whole thing is a metaphor for puberty/adolescence. Maybe the wave machine is the hormonal changes that will shake up the strict rules of childhood.
