lyrics

Losing, the last of what's left of the sunlight
Drinking in parks in the summertime
Escaping our lives for a little while
'Cause our lives are more than a nine to five.

Smoking, a shared cigarette just to catch our breath,
Outside the bar to escape the noise
You sat on my knee like a statuette
Of a tiny bird larger than life

And I hope, when I look back for the better times
When I'm old and reflecting on my whole life
At that stack of photographs in my mind
That I see my friends in the summertime

That I see my friends in the summertime
That I see my friends all the time

There's not a single piece of flat ground in this town
I'm always straining my legs up hill, or I'm skipping down
On my way to have one beer at your house
I never use my handbrake so I'm wearing my clutch out,
Yeah I'm wearing my clutch out

All that, all that I want to see when I die, is all of my friends in the summertime
Yeah all of my friends all the time.

And I hope, when I look back for the better times
When I'm old and reflecting on my whole life
At that stack of photographs in my mind
That I see my friends in the summertime

That I see my friends in the summertime
That I see my friends all the time

Lovely album, Fresh have really honed their sound without losing the joy of the early stuff. The album runs to about half an hour, which I also like (cf. It's a shame about Ray). Sam Baguley
