The Days of a Champion
The girl I shared with was away for the night
I couldn't get up for my shift today
I'll have to leave the camp now anyway
I'll go to London there's a mate of mine I know
she'll give me a place
Full of woe and further to go
She caught the bus
"Oh I'll go anywhere"
She caught the bus
Her face was just a smear on the pane
He raped me in the chalet lines
I had just said no for the final time
Although it's last month it's like yesterday
I missed my time, I don't think I could stand
To take the test, I'm feeli
If Things Were Perfect
(Give me summer)
(Give me summer)
(Give me summer)
(Give me summer)
Broken darkness my cold end
I look for places I've never seen
Nothing moves but the quiet on the street
Now I open my eyes to this
Isolated, walking long hard hours
When a cold springs me with its shower
It's so brutal with the cold sky
Wrapped in cold, late at night
(Give me summer)
(Give me summer)
Come clean, there's no sun yet
The only lights here are naked
I can't speak, I can't hear, but I know I'm real
There's no warm here anyway
The darkest light's before the dawn
You remember the sun, but it sank
In the water that eats the light
Wrapped in cold, late at night
(Give me summer)
(Give me summer)
I open my eyes, it's cold
The errant souls go by
Lift the bridge out of the water
The stone black, light
Living is easy when it's night
The cold has covered the rain
I can see forever, to the deep
Wrapped in cold, late at night
(Give me summer)
(Give me summer)
(Give me summer)
(Give me summer)
