Swoon from Pish Posh by Vanilla
This is “Swoon” the sixth song in Vanilla’s “Pish Posh” assortment. Swoon is our love letter to 1980’s dark wave music - virtually all of the instrumentation and effects are from the 80’s and we hope this conjures up a little nostalgia for the days of synthesizers and sequencers. Sit back, close your eyes, and be transported back to the future. We are joined here by our talented friend Paul Jackson on guitar.

Lyrics
Out of mind and out of breath
A pantomime of sudden death
With people standing round
I wake up on the ground
Out of sorts and out of depth
I don’t know how much time is left
They ask me “You okay?”
And all I have to say is…
Where am I now?
Where am I now?
Someday soon
I’ll end this swoon
If the Fates allow
Golden light and it’s alright
A sunrise in the dead of night
The medics need to know
Has this happened once before?
Then they start their murmuring
My vital signs encouraging
I wish they’d go away
It’s time for me to say…
Leave me alone
This world is dull monotone
Let me be free
Please don’t resuscitate me...
