Head South Lyrics

The lyrics posted here are incorrect. I believe the correct lyrics are as follows:

A surf rock band from the land of plenty Surf rock bands with no surf, just pine trees Start by being ashamed of your old space Just wanting that mean heat You bleached your hair and you pawned your skis And then you sold out for the shade of the palm tree scene And said, "Oh what a drag! Oh what a backwards scheme!" Cuz here things go from grey to grey and back to grey again And they get green and go to grey and go back to grey again So he said,

"Head south!" [x16]

Struck by being ashamed of your old space Just wanting that mean heat You bleached your hair and you pawned your skis And then you sold out for the shade of the palm tree scene Sit around in cut-off jeans and cut-off jeans are What you mean when you say,

"Head south!" [x12]

I'm not sure about a few parts.......in the third line, the word "start" might be "stuck" or "struck", and the word "shade"(first section, sixth line/second section, fourth line) might be "shape" or "shake". Other than that, I think it's all correct.

@To Xi Ci Ty Definitely "struck" and "shade".
