Celebrated Summer

(albüm: New Day Rising - 1985)

Love and hate was in the air, like pollen from a flower
Somewhere in April time, they add another hour

I guess I'd better think up a way to spend my time
Just when I'm ready to sit inside, it's summer time
Should I go swimming or get a friend to hang around
It's back to summer, it's back to basics, hang around

Getting drunk out on the beach, or playing in a band
And getting out of school meant getting out of hand

Was this your celebrated summer?
Was that your celebrated summer?
Was this your celebrated summer?

Then the sun disintegrates between a wall of clouds
I summer where I winter at, and no one is allowed there

Do you remember when the first snowfall fell
When summer barely had a snowball's chance in Hell?

Was this your celebrated summer?
Was this your celebrated summer?
Was this your celebrated summer?

Summer time
Summer time
Summer time
Summer time

Do you remember when the first snowfall fell
Was that your celebrated summer?
