Story Behind The Song

We just wanted to write a summer song and this is the result of our observations whilst sitting in Pete Newton's suburban garden having a bit of a barbie. Origainally a straight 4/4, it evolved into a swing stylie song with the input of Mark, our producer.

Song Description

Feel good summer song about, er, the summer and how good it feels, compared to winter.

Lyrics

Summertime and the sun do shine
Season's turned and I'm feeling fine
once again, the summertime's my friend

Just can't get myself into gear
Drinking in all this atmosphere
and it's warm, and we don't know we're born

June - and my cat's asleep in the shade
me and him we've both got it made
'cos life is sweet - we've got the world at our six feet
Yes the summer is here
isn't she something to behold?

My mojito has just arrived
One more drink and I'll be paralysed
yes it's fun drinking in the sun

Late July and here we are
beneath our brightly shining star
yeah the sun shines on everyone

Now, when I see how good life can be
I forget that soon we will freeze
and we'll feel the nights closing in
when the dogs of winter howl outside my door
I'll be wishing it was summer once more
Yes, I will pray for the return of summer

..................solo................................................

Now, when I feel that cool summer breeze
I forget that soon we will freeze
and we'll feel the nights closing in
when the dogs of winter howl outside my door
I'll be wishing it was summer once more
yes, I will pray for the return of summer

Evening time in the afterglow
my girl comes and she lets me know that she's mine.
Yes this is summertime

Long warm days.
Cool cool nights.
Yes the summer is here
isn't she something to behold?
