Lyrics
Summer Of 88
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.
Fifteen minutes trial
So they have the power and boyfriends with motorbikes
Twenty second tries
So pass it all on to the gits of some lower class
Hello, new summer
You're worth it this time
Get set so long
Hello, new summer
You're worth it this time
Big suprise
You're out with those faschists
I'm sure that I saw you smile
So I came to stay
With the tarred and the feathered
Respect that I'd rearanged
Hello, new summer
You're worth it this time
Get sad so long
Hello, new summer
You're worth it this time
Hello, new summer
You're worth it this time
Get set so long
Hello, new summer
Your worth it this time
