	Story Behind the Song It all started with that bass line, inspired by one too many New Order listenings (Peter Hook rules). Throw on a bass chorus pedal, add jangly guitars, several lyric rewrites, and somehow you end up with a New Order/janglypop song about beaches, ex-lovers and nostalgia. It always had an album-closer feel, and until the last minute was simply known as "Closing". Ian wrote the music for the chorus because Drew, who wrote the rest of the music, couldn't find anything to match the beauty of the rest of it. Lyrics I'm down at the beach, shovels, bottles and buckets Knees sinking slow Building in the sand a home for ex-lovers In San Ysidro Throw ourselves right into the ocean Cough up on the shore Spitting out salt and stacking dead soldiers Waves would come and you would go Watch everything we make Wash out with the tide As the water swallows the sun Day drowns into night We could stay here forever Yeah, but not tonight Not tonight Sit at the bar, smokes, peanuts and pool cues People that I don't know Greeted again by all those old voices Nowhere else to go A memory well growing deeper and darker Pulling me from below Pour myself right into the bottom Make myself at home Everything we said Echoes amplified Thoughts again refused Stale neon light You were mine forever Yeah, but not tonight Not tonight
