The Sundays - "Summertime"
This song NEVER gets old. Songs like this make me very thankful that I was a kid of the 90's. It was an awesome time for music (sans the bubblegum pop era i.e. the Spice Girls and the Backstreet Boys and Hanson - although even I have to admit that their songs were pretty damn catchy too!).
And take a look at these lyrics! Brilliant! Freaking poetry, man!
Do 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
Oh, sometimes...
Romantic Piscean
Seeks angel in disguise
Chinese speaking girlfriend
Big brown eyes
Liverpudlian lady
Sophisticated male
Hello, partner
Tell me love can't fail
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
Do some people wind up
With the one that they abhor
In a distant hell-hole room?
The third world war
But all I see is films
Where colorless despair
Meant angry young men
With immaculate hair
Oh, sometimes...
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
But how do you coin the phrase, though
That will set your soul apart?
Just to touch a lonely heart
And it's you and me in the summertime
And 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
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?
How does it happen?
(Now, right now...)
