Pett Level
Keston Cobblers' Club Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
so lets go face the water, jump right in.
And I know your style is a sunny smile that passed me by while I was slowly falling,
but maybe we'll get on.
(toot on your tuba for a little bit)
And I know your heart is a heart of gold, and mine's just stone
And I know your face is a pretty face and my boat race is a big mistake,
lets flaunt them and maybe we'll go...
Oh, on a shingle beach we're playing, all on a summers day,
we're running through an arch of ivy hiding our days away...
Well I know your heart is a heart of gold, and mine's just stone
so lets go face the water, jump right in.
And I know your style is a sunny smile that passed me by while I was slowly falling,
but maybe we'll get on.

The opening line, "Well I know your heart is a heart of gold, and mine's just stone" clearly sets the tone of the song. The singer acknowledges the difference but in the same breath coaxes the other person to join him in jumping right into the water. This is an interesting use of the metaphor to depict an urging for a connection despite differences.
Throughout the song, the singer highlights the contrast between himself and the other person. The lyrics "And I know your style is a sunny smile that passed me by while I was slowly falling, but maybe we'll get on" suggest that the sunny and optimistic attitude of the other person ended up saving the day. It's interesting to note that the song is infused with the air of optimism and hope.
The imagery used in the lyrics, "On a shingle beach we're playing, all on a summers day, we're running through an arch of ivy hiding our days away," brings to life an idyllic image of two people enjoying each other's company on a beautiful day. Overall, the song Pett Level by Keston Cobblers' Club is an invitation to connect despite differences and to embrace the present moment with hope.
