The Lucksmiths - Camera Shy lyrics

Here's me in 1981 Squinting into a sinking sun Ankle-deep in the Pacific In the foreground are my friends Grinning madly at the lens They look heliolithic Again in 1993 A Polaroid you took of me In a long-forgotten loungeroom A hand outstretched before my face The nervous smile, the downcast gaze I didn't know myself around you You seem surprised And I see why: You just realised I'm camera shy So if it's not too much to ask Let's just let the moment pa** I have no wish to be reminded Of just how awkward I can be Please don't point that thing at me Your eyes are widening behind it You seem surprised And I see why: You just realised I'm camera shy
