Tekst piosenki

I scan the horizon for you, Mimi

I scan for the both of us

I scan the horizon for you, Mimi

I stand and scan on the strand of sand

Stand and scan on the strand of sand


But first I’m sitting over here

See that gaggle of guys and girls

A typical day at the beach

Typical ‘til I make my speech


There is a girl out on the sea

Floating on a pink surfboard

With a picnic lunch and parasol

Sitting there like a typical girl


Well, this is not a locker room

And that’s a surfboard not a yacht

The arrangement’s not ... quite ...

Quite there


One girl laughs at skinny guys

Someone else points out a “queer”

They’re all jocks, both guys and girls

Press the button, take your cue


And see the girl with perfect teeth

She picks up lonely guys in bars

Then she takes off

When they’ve bought her drinks

“Don’t you have money?” I ask

Of course I do


Well, this is not a locker room

And that’s a surfboard not a yacht

The arrangement’s not ... quite ...

Quite there


But the day was faultless in beauty

Pitched on tropical scenery

Stretched from white sand

Up to the open sky

Down to the shining sea again

And then back to me and


Mimi on the beach

Mimi on the beach

Mimi and me


I’m still sitting over there

One guy just got up and brayed

They wag their words – they’re all in heat

I can ignore it – just don’t steam up the view


Mimi’s still out on the sea

Floating on a pink surfboard

She’s checking out her arms and legs

In case her casing’s getting burnt


Well, this is not a locker room

And that’s a surfboard not a yacht

The arrangement’s not quite

... quite there


But the day was faultless in beauty

Pitched on tropical scenery

Stretched from white sand

Up to the open sky

Down to the shining sea again

And then back to me and


Mimi on the beach

Mimi on the beach

Mimi and me


Mimi, you don’t know me but I’ve been watching you all day

And I’ve come to the edge of the water to have my say

The picnic lunch is off, Mimi – throw your parasol away

Put your belly to the board, Mimi, and paddle out to sea

Then turn the board around, Mimi, until you’re facing me

And then you wait for the waves to start building

For the valleys to deepen and the mountains to increase in height

And when the right time comes, Mimi

You grab the edges of the pink surfboard with your hands

And lift yourself up and see as far as you can see

Stand up, Mimi

Stand up, Mimi

Stand up!


I scan the horizon for you, Mimi

I scan for the both of us

I scan the horizon for you, Mimi

I stand and scan on the strand of sand

Stand and scan on the strand of sand


The Great Leveller is coming and he’s not going to stop to take your pulse

And he’s not going to ask you why you’re the way you are

And I think that’s the worst part – you never get a chance to explain yourself

And he’s going to take those mountains and shove them into the valleys

Until there’s nothing left but a vast expanse

And you’ll float there, Mimi, on the flat Sargasso Sea of your soul

And if they pull you away from your bleaching pink surfboard

And stretch you across the wind

You’ll make no sound

Wet leaves on a dry map

Nothing. Nobody

The Great Leveller or the great escape, Mimi?

The Great Leveller or the great escape?


But the day was faultless in beauty

Pitched on tropical scenery

Stretched from white sand

Up to the open sky

Down to the shining sea again

And then back to me and


Mimi on the beach

Mimi on the beach

Mimi and me


There is a girl out on the sea

Floating on a pink surfboard

With a picnic lunch and parasol

The arrangement’s not ... quite ... quite there
