Notes from Robyn on Patreon in 2021 talking about the song demo.
TIME COAST was recorded December 2015 and features Emma Swift and Charlie Francis on harmonies - Charlie also plays the piano. A truly dismal year was waiting in the wings, from the death of Lemmy up to the election of Trump. I wanted to flee human existence and commune with the multi-hued cliffs on the Isle of Wight. But all escapes are temporary, we can’t elude the channel of karma. Bummer…

Lyrics

You don't know where you're going
Who says when you arrive
Some people will destroy you
In order to survive

I made it to the time coast
I made it just in time
I made it just in time

I'm naked in the water
In the amniotic sea
Beside my real mother
She opens up for me

I made it to the time coast
I made it just in time

Time

I'm singing to the ruins
I'm singing through the past
I'm singing like a fossil
Time grows by so fast

I made it to the time coast
I made it just in time
Time
Time
Time
