Drive-By Summer
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's a drive-by summer at the end of march
Sees more than its pound of flesh
City comes alive in the sunshine
All loved-up, everyone flashing smiles
But, oh, it gives and it taketh away
Reset to one of those shades of gray
Shackles ring on through the ages
Shaping all of our many faces
Still they gazed and still their wonder grew
When it's gone, sure, who'd be looking at you?
Who'd be looking at you?
Laughing at the people in the garden centre
My barber says they must all be mental
All this shit will be dead next week
‘Cause no good things last, haven't you seen?
What is this, taking pleasure
In others’ misfortune and misadventure?
Gets parked for this summer surprise
All lifted by the rising tide
Still they gazed and still their wonder grew
When it's gone, sure who'd be looking at you?
Who'd be looking at you?
Still they gazed and still their wonder grew
When it's gone, sure who'd be looking at you?
Who'd be looking at you?
Who’d be looking at you?
