Pulp - David\'s Last Summer lyrics

rate me

We made our way slowly down the path that led to the stream

Swayin' slightly

Drunk on the sun I suppose

It was a real summer's day

The air hummin' 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 knowin' that we'd drink it long before we had chance

This is where you want to be

There's nothin' else but you and her

And how you spend your time

Walkin' to parties whilst it's still light outside

Peter was upset at first

But now he's in the garden talkin' 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 nothin' else but you and her

And how you use your time?

Ahh

We went driving

But if it's where you want to be

There's nothin' else but you and her

And how you use your time

Your time, your time

The room smells faintly of sun tan lotion in the evenin' sunlight

And when you take off your clothes

You're still wearin' a small pale skin bikini

The sound of children playing in the park comes from far away

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 gettin' long

Summer's gone 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 dyin' palms

Past the bandstand down to the boatin' lake

And we swam in the moonlight for what seemed like hours

Until we couldn't swim anymore

And when we came out of the water

We sensed a certain movement in the air

And we both shivered slightly and ran to collect our clothes

And as we walked home

We could hear the leaves curlin' and turnin' brown on the trees

And the birds decidin' where to go for winter

And the whole sound, the whole sound of summer

Packin' its bags and preparin' to leave town

Ooh, but I want you to stay

Oh, please stay, stay

I want you to stay

Stay, stay
