summertime

              Do some people wind up with the one that they adore
              in a heart-shaped hotel room it's what a heart is for
              the bubble floats so madly will it stay sky-high?
              Hello partner
              kiss your name bye-bye
              sometimes...
              romantic piscean seeks angel in disguise
              chinese-speaking girlfriend big brown eyes
              liverpudlian lady sophisticated male
              hello partner
              tell me love can't fail
              & it's you and me in the summertime
              we'll be hand in hand down in the park
              with a squeeze & a sigh & that twinkle in your eye
              & all the sunshine banishes the dark
              do some people wind up with the one that they abhor
              in a distant hell-hole room third world war
              but all I see is films where colourless despair
              meant angry young men with immaculate hair
              sometimes...
              Get up a voice inside says there's no time for looking down
              only a pound a word & you're talking to the town
              but how do you coin the phrase though that will set your soul apart
              just to touch
              a lonely heart
              & it's you & me in the summertime
              we'll be hand down in the park
              with a squeeze & a sigh that twinkle in your eye
              & all the sunshine banishes the dark
              & it's you I need in the summertime
              as I turn my white skin red
              two peas from the same pod yes we are
              or have I read too much fiction?
              Is this how it happens?
