Testo
English summer eating up the atmosphere
Day-time bathers sleep in the shade
Clouds crawl over dampening our attitudes
People run for shelter from the pouring rain
Oh, this is the English summer
Oh, this is our brightest day
Oh, this is the English sun
So close your eyes and try to wish the weather away
Terraced houses filling up with dragonflies
Wild-eyed lovers savour the day
Local artists draw upon the paving stone
Unill the rain, the thunder come and wash it away
Oh, this is the English summer
Oh, this is our brightest day
Oh, this is the English sun
So close your eyes and try to wish the weather away
Planes fly over drawing lines across the sky
Earth-bound traffic stuck in the rain
Factory workers stand around like silhouettes
And hope the English summer comes to brighten their day
Oh, this is the English summer
Oh, this is our brightest day
Oh, this is the English sun
So close your eyes and try to dream the weather away
Dream, dream, dream the weather away
So close your eyes and try to dream the weather away
Dream, dream, dream the weather away
