Mind wonders to those days of melted
tarmac
Folks complaining they can’t sleep at
night
Hoping for a long hot summer
On those summers long ago, folks bitch
about the hose pipe ban
The press blaming heat on an invasion of
strange insects
And I'm still sat here.
Hoping for a long hot summer
Long hot afternoons at Wimbledon ladies
final
As a young adolescent more interested
in what’s up the skirt?
Rather than love 14
Hoping for a long hot summer
Summer romances and a fumble in the
bushes
Endless days and days of the battle of
the ashes,
All keen to see the footie season again
Hoping for a long hot summer
Days out at Brid so hot the ice cream
melts so quick
The kids shouting on the coach “are
we there yet”
Those wonderful seaside fish n chips
Sat on the beach observing red and
peeling backs, overdoing it in the sun
Hoping for a long hot summer
I sit hear dreaming of those days
Those days that seem sweet to me
Instead if living in the nightmare of a
hateful right wing society
Hoping that this is really a dream and
I will wake up
Hoping to wake up on that beach
In the Long hot summer
