19th of July

lyrics

I just don’t know what’s happening
My heads a training bike
I’ve never felt the way I feel tonight
And I’m spinning like no ones business
And I’ve never felt more alive
We’re drinking through straws of course tonight

And they say that Simon’s drinking better
But he’s practically twice my size
We’re alone in the universe tonight
The first evening of our summer
And we’re gonna do what we like
We’re not getting picked up ’til past midnight!

We could be birds
We could plant trees
We could strip the earth or bask in it’s streams
We won’t rest ’til tomorrow
We could be light
Or we could be rain
We could be the same or we could be change
We won’t rest ’til tomorrow
Tomorrow!

It was the 19th of July
Date imprinted in my eyes
Threw a party in a field with the sunshine
Almost got busted as the flyers were thrusted
And the buses just departed the scene
Found our saxophone player in a heap under the trailer
He was drinking with another band
But no music infidelity could creep into the melody
‘Cause summer’s here we understand
Yeh summer’s here we understand

And they say that Simon’s drinking better
But he’s practically twice my size
We’re alone in the universe tonight
The first evening of our summer
And we’re gonna do what we like
We’re not getting picked up ’til past midnight!

We could be birds
We could plant trees
We could strip the earth or bask in it’s streams
We won’t rest ’til tomorrow
We could be light
Or we could be rain
We could be the same or we could be change
We won’t rest ’til tomorrow
Tomorrow!

(Breakdown)

And they say that Simon’s drinking better
But he’s practically twice my size
We’re alone in the universe tonight
The first evening of our summer
And we’re gonna do what we like
We’re not getting picked up ’til past midnight!

We could be birds
We could plant trees
We could strip the earth or bask in it’s streams
We won’t rest ’til tomorrow
We could be light
Or we could be rain
We could be the same or we could be change
We won’t rest ’til tomorrow
Tomorrow!

It was the 19th of July!
