Lyric discussion by Daisy* 

Cover art for Black History Month lyrics by Death from Above 1979

when i first heard it it made me think of all these abandoned kids (maybe black kids coz of the title) sitting by the pool in the blazing sun. the sadness in the tone must be coz of the abandonment. when i looked at the lyrics, i thought about it being more of a contrast between their swimming pool when adults were there and when they wern't.

midwaves, waves in the middle of the pool. crossing guards, some game about getting across the pool. architect = adult job. dilitant, (dunno?)perhaps dilutant, like the chemical they'd put in the pool... the first verse is about what the pool was like when their parents were around.

now, in the 2nd verse, they've left so they'll be having a party. they're playing games and they've got blow up dolls floating about coz its one racous party. i get this idea that the subject and their best friend get it on coz they mention 'your best friends parents are leaving'. with the astrologists i think about kids on sun loungers looking up into the stars.
