Description
This song started as a "writers block" breaker. I came across some lyrics Steve sent me a long while ago and wrote a little acoustic thing late at night before bed, hence the whispering tone. I kind of liked where it was headed, so I spruced it up and sent it to Steve, who added some great harmonies, strings and piano. It has a samba-ish tempo going on. Steve described where the lyrics came from this way:
"It was inspired during a trip to Italy- there was this gorgeous American girl by the pool one day, (and she WAS reading Anna Karina) and it was funny watching the effect she had on all the guys. The track is about desire and the effect it has on us - it drives us, but also makes us unhappy - you can always find someone more beautiful, but it's a passing thing. Love and relationships are about more than sex and desire, so if that's all you focus on, you're never gonna be content (hence dissatisfied).
Nuff said.

American girl reading Anna Karina
Divorcing the saint just to marry the sinner
In time-lapse eyes she’s getting thinner
You just can’t help yourself.
Love runs in, it’s as big as a house
Lust breaks in and burns it down
Smells like trouble but you drink it down
Explain it to yourself
Here it comes, there it goes bye bye
Always dissatisfied
When you’re closed, when you’re open wide
Always dissatisfied.
Her skin glows hot under European sun
Look down, realise you’re sucking your thumb
The waiter falls over, don’t want to go home
We just can’t stop ourselves.
Love floods in, it’s as big as a house
You want to sleep but you locked yourself out
You know where you’re going to crash tonight
Don’t wanna meet yourself.
[Chorus]
Bathing the pool in a state of undress
You rattle your cage in a state of distress
The boys sweat tension while the girls flick their hair
You just can’t stop yourself.
Love pulls up, it’s as big as a house
Lust lights up and burns it down
Set the fuse and the sparks just fly
Don’t want to meet yourself.
