hot heavy summer
Singer:ben howard
past the flat footed charterhouse boys
from towns where the mothers can't stand
in the hearts of the wild and free
she knows that time takes all of us
through every long hot heavy summer
they talk of national security
over garden fences made to buff the bats of breeze
past the tuesday morning supermarket crowd
she knows we'll all sleep through the days
the two-step drip fed our laughter
she's a light in the young boy's eyes
through every long hot heavy summer
they talk of national security
over garden fences made to buff the bats of breeze
shuffling down that lonely street
against a long hot heavy summer
