Summertime Lyrics by The Sundays

Static & Silence

1997

[Verse 1]
Some people wind up
With the one that they adore
In a heart-shaped hotel room
It's what a heart is for
The bubble floats so madly
Will it stay sky-high?
Hello partner, kiss your name bye-bye
Ooh, sometimes
[Pre-Chorus]
Romantic Piscean seeks angel in disguise
Chinese-speaking girlfriend, big brown eyes
Liverpudlian lady, sophisticated male
Hello partner, tell me love can't fail
[Chorus]
And it's you and me in the summertime
We'll be hand-in-hand down in the park
With a squeeze and a sigh
And that twinkle in your eye
And all the sunshine banishes the dark...
[Verse 2]
Some people wind up
With the one that they abhor
In a distant hell-hole room
This third World War
But all I see is films where a colourless despair
Meant angry young men with immaculate hair
Ooh sometimes
[Bridge]
"Get up" a voice inside says
"There's no time for looking down
Only a Pound a word
And you're talking to the town"
And how do you coin the phrase though
That will set your soul apart
Just to touch a lonely heart
[Chorus]
And it's you and me in the summertime
We'll be hand-in-hand down in the park...
With a squeeze and a sigh
And the twinkle in your eye
And all the sunshine banishes the dark...
[Chorus 2]
And it's you I need in the summertime
As I turn my white skin red...
Two peas from the same pod, yes we are
Or have I read too much fiction?
Is this how it happens...?
[Outro]
How does it happen?
How does it happen?
How does it happen?
Is this how it happens?
(Now, right now)
