Pulp - David's Last Summer lyrics
[Pulp - David's Last Summer lyrics]
We made our way slowly down the
Path that led to the stream swaying slightly
Drunk on the sun, I suppose
It was a real summer's day
The air humming with heat
Whilst the trees beckoned us into
Their cool green shade
And when we reached the stream
I put a bottle of cider
Into the water to chill
Both of us knowing that we'd drink it
Long before it had a chance
This is where you want to be
There's nothing else but you and her
And how you spend your time
Walking to parties whilst it's
Still light outside peter was upset at first
But now he's in the garden
Talking to somebody Polish
Why don't we set up a tent
And spend the night out there?
And we can pretend that
We're somewhere foreign
But we'll still be able to use the fridge
If we get hungry or too hot
This is where you want to be
There's nothing else but you and her
And how you spend your time oh
We went driving
Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo oh
This is where you want to be
There's nothing else but you and her
And how you spend your time your time
Your time the room smells faintly of sun tan
Lotion in the evening sunlight
And when you take off your clothes
You're still wearing a small pale-skin bikini
The sound of children playing in
The park comes from faraway
And time slows down to the speed
Of the specks of dust
Floating in the light from the window
Summer leaves fall from summer trees
Summer grazes fade on summer knees
Summer nights are slowly getting long
Summer's going so hurry soon it'll be gone
So we went out to the park
At midnight one last time
Past the abandoned glasshouse stuffed
Full of dying palms
Past the bandstand and down
To the boating lake
And we swam in the moonlight
For what seemed like hours
Until we couldn't swim anymore
And as we came out of the water
We sensed a certain movement in the air
And we both shivered slightly
And we ran to collect our clothes
And as we walked home
We could hear the leaves curling and
Turning brown on the trees
And the birds deciding where to
Go for the winter and the whole sound
The whole sound of summer packing it's bags
And preparing to leave town
Ooh, I want you to stay
Oh, please stay for a while
Please stay for a while
Ooh, I want you to stay
Oh, please stay for a while
Please stay for a while
I don't want you to go stay
Path that led to the stream swaying slightly
Drunk on the sun, I suppose
It was a real summer's day
The air humming with heat
Whilst the trees beckoned us into
Their cool green shade
And when we reached the stream
I put a bottle of cider
Into the water to chill
Both of us knowing that we'd drink it
Long before it had a chance
This is where you want to be
There's nothing else but you and her
And how you spend your time
Walking to parties whilst it's
Still light outside peter was upset at first
But now he's in the garden
Talking to somebody Polish
Why don't we set up a tent
And spend the night out there?
And we can pretend that
We're somewhere foreign
But we'll still be able to use the fridge
If we get hungry or too hot
This is where you want to be
There's nothing else but you and her
And how you spend your time oh
We went driving
Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo oh
This is where you want to be
There's nothing else but you and her
And how you spend your time your time
Your time the room smells faintly of sun tan

And when you take off your clothes
You're still wearing a small pale-skin bikini
