This song is about the shy 14 year old me cycling down a hill in Plymouth one Sunday morning and meeting this girl, who said we should go out; and then what happened after that…
I think it has some lovely playing on it – particularly that middle bit.

and Here are words in case you want to sing along.
Ice Cream Parlours
it was a break in the cloud,
it was the first day of Summer
I was just standing around
what did I do?
I did nothing
and suddenly you were there
and you were looking like Summer
you had the sun in your hair
and we were stood on the corner
you had your hand on your hip
and all the sky was an ocean
and all the awkwardness gone
and I was falling like ice cream parlours
blue and golden
and when I got to your house
I said hello to your sister
because your parents were out
so we went up to your bedroom
like it was always allowed
and we were sat on your bed
and all the bed was like flowers
and I was talking to you
and we were kissing for hours
and all the rubbish was gone
and we were covered in sunlight
and we were falling like ice cream parlours
blue and golden
lightening strike me down if I’m not good enough
lightening strike me down if I’m not good enough
God can strike me down if I’m not good enough
now when I’m passing your house
it’s kind of odd to remember
like how we even went out
beneath a golfing umbrella
‘cos when I went back to school
well I forgot to remember
so when I saw you with him
I had to treat it like nothing
how we were sat on your bed
how we were covered in sunlight
how all the rubbish was gone
and we were falling like ice cream parlours
blue and golden
lightening strike me down if I’m not good enough
lightening strike me down if I’m not good enough
God can strike me down if I’m not good enough…
