All you brothers and sisters
Lookin’ for a better way
Why don’t you all go to the country
Hitch a ride from the city
Get away for the day read more »

(Sandy Denny)
The summertime's escaping
And the carnival's away
And the sunshine is awaiting
For another sunny day read more »

I'm lost, I'm alone.
I wish I had a bone.
Long n' wide, white, you know, what I'm talking about, just a fine bite.
I wish I had a home
to cover me at night, yeah. read more »

sitting in Richmond on the C-side of town
the whole band's with me we're just fuckin' around
reggae is the sound on the radio
we've got nothing to do we've got nowhere to go
i've been told nothing stays the same read more »

You can stretch right up and touch the sky
When the weather’s fine
You got women, you got women on your mind
Have a drink, have a draft
Go out and see what you can find read more »

`twas on the isle of capri that I found her

There ain't no time for excuses (no time)
We have been waiting to catch this moment
The sun is shining above us (shinin' above us)
So let the music control your feelings

Summertime brings joy to life
Music makes you dance all night
Everyone let's all get down
To the melody we found

And you'll be fallin' in love
To the music
So you cannot get enough
Of the music
And you'll be fallin' in love
To the music
So you cannot get enough
Of the music

Wherever music is playin' (tonight)
The summer fever will catch your body
The way we groove to the rythm (alright)
We're having fun and we just won't stop

Summertime brings joy to life
Music makes you dance all night
Everyone let's all get down
To the melody we found

And you'll be fallin' in love
To the music
So you cannot get enough
Of the music
And you'll be fallin' in love
To the music
So you cannot get enough
Of the music read more »

Whenever the sunshine comes through
Whenever my thoughts turn to you
Whatever you want me to do
I will be there read more »

I wanna get high, but I never could take the pain
’cos it would blow away my soul like a hurricane
Like a one man band clapping in the pouring rain
If I know where I’m going, I don’t know from where I came read more »
