Arcadia Lyrics by Roo Panes

The Summer Isles

2022

[Verse 1]
Adventures in her dressing gown
Smoke rings in the car
Once upon a time she had a dream called "Arcadia"
Well today's the same old story
Someones' trying to win the world
Really not that different from a kid trying to get the girl

[Verse 2]
There's a postcard on the mantelpiece
It takes a noble bow
With a letter on the back ,it doesn't really matter now
She comes in from a late shift
And tumbles into bed
And just rifles through her phone - for the things he never said

[Chorus]
Will somebody take her where the roses bloom?
She's only ever heard of hearing, "I love you"
Whatever happened to Arcadia?

[Bridge]
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah (Whatever happened to)
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah (Arcadia?)
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah (Whatever happened to)
(Arcadia?)

[Outro]
Whatever happened to Arcadia?
