about

This is a what might have been kind of song, a memory of romantic possibility...

lyrics

We hang out at the head shop
Just opposite the bus stop
Its psychedelic lift off
And its gonna blow your mind

Tarot cards and a hooker pipes
Dream catchers wind chimes
Herbal tea scented candles
And multi coloured plastic sandals

Glow sticks and lava lamps
Peace patches and tie dye pants
Man pouch in soft leather
Vaping sticks go on pick any flavour

We’ve got them all

I knew the owner Geraldine
We had a thing when we were 17
Sometimes I wonder what might have been
If you know what I mean
It was a really cool scene man

A Game of thrones jig saw
Joss sticks all the way from Jaipur
Natty threads and rag rugs
Naturally high say no to drugs

Essential aroma therapy
And books about magikal energy
Victorian bottles African carvings
Lord of the Rings the trilogy’s meanings so many meanings

I used to come here after school
And they let you hang out it was really cool
Once the girl who worked there made me coffee
And we talked about music said her brother was a hippy
Hippy yeah she was pretty


Come on meet me at the Head Shop
It’s just opposite the bus stop
For a psychedelic lift off
That’s gonna blow your mind

Meet me at the head shop
Just opposite the bus stop
We don’t need to go to Woodstock
This one’s gonna to blow your mind
