	Story Behind the Song This track is a nostalgic piece about a flat I used to live in with my then girlfriend. We really believed in “love on the dole” and were happy scraping by for quite a time. We had two cats enough money for clothes, food and the odd Beck’s. Ultimately it couldn’t last, but the song is a sort of yearning for a more innocent time. The song was rattled off in one rainy afternoon, more or less in one take. The monotone synth line came from an old Wasp synthesizer, which had got stuck playing just that one note and nothing else! Fortunately, the note fitted the key of the song! Lyrics L'Amour sous le Toit If you swing your ass, my mind will follow I remember well your sailor suit with the ruffled skirt Do you remember when we had a summer? We caught the sun on our bleached white behinds Two true believers in love on the dole A moral highground, we just loved being The young hip couple in the upstairs flat With the second hand sofa and the beautiful cat Could you take me back, put back the pieces? You say you don't know how, But would you try sometime? Someone back home who really loves you But if I do too Then that makes Tootoo Do you remember that like I do? The young hip couple in the upstairs flat With the second hand sofa and the beautiful cat
