Young Sensualists Lyrics

two young sensualists got off the plane and got the gist
we took a car to town together
and as the week set in we glued like newly kin
you were an honest pal and i wasn't always right somehow

we would smoke and drink and laugh and sing of foreign things
we bought clever hats and umbrellas
if it wasn't quite my style and you felt semi-wild
you'd snatch it up and add it to your aesthetic dumb luck

there was patty who you liked and who i liked too
and as things played out you felt cheated
so when the sun shone in and showed my lusty sin
you were angry then and maybe still and won't be friends

but you were an honest pal and i wasn't always right somehow
yeah, you were an honest pal and i wasn't always right somehow

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Heh, I love this song.. I believe it's pretty self-explanitory. Two young lovers or 'sensualists' are spending time together, perhaps visiting somewhere or going on vacation, and they both are having a great time just being silly and having fun with eachother, with a gist of love behind it. The woman, I assume, had a friend named Patty, whom the man took a bit too much interest into, and probably had sex with Patty... destroying the relationship he had with the original woman. "You were angry then, and maybe still and wont be friends " Is describing the outcome of his affair with Patty.. he destroyed the friendship between his 'woman' and Patty, and they are no longer friends.

And of course "You were an honest pal, but I wasn't always right somehow" Just refers to them having innocent fun, but him doing something wrong.. like cheating. The girl was faithful, but he just was keen to mistakes.. somehow.
