Health And Efficiency

And we ate peaches in this very place

The juice was running down your face

I poured coffee from a flask; it tasted funny

And then we tried to make love by this lake

I remember you began to shake

And I was far too scared to ask if you were coming

We bought 'H & E' because we thought it was dirty

It's strange just how innocent it all looks today

We tried to imagine ourselves naked at thirty

But that always seemed such a long way away

We looked for mountaintops to climb

Just because we needed things to fill our time

We were young and free, and boy, did we abuse it

But everything was so clear-cut

And this is such a cliché but

You don't appreciate the joy until you lose it

I was jealous and mean you were fragrant and flirty

It's strange just how innocent it all looks today

We tried to imagine being together at thirty

But that always seemed such a long way away
