SPEAKS - Summer Of Love Lyrics

Summer of love was never going to last, Tony
What
Go back to the 60s, right
Everyone's rebelling, but they're rebelling against the system, not each other
1969, everyone's stoned and naked, free love
Eventually, they all get bored of hugging and rolling about in the f*cking mud
We ain't world champions no more
So people start drinking special brew and kicking shit out of each other on the terraces
1980s come along, music's still shit
But now you've got good quality coke coming over from Miami for the first time
Everyone gets on that
Of course, you can't sniff all night without the booze
It makes things even worse
The streets get so violent, Thatcher has to step in personally to put a stop to it
You know my theory
What
Margaret Thatcher secretly manufactured and distributed Ecstasy to the masses
How else are you going to stop the f*cking hooligans
Because now everyone's hugging and loving the night away again
1988, second summer of love
It was never going to last, because people get greedy, make the pills weaker
Times change, music changes, drugs change
Summer of 88
You ain't never going to get that again
Woo
Woo
Woo
Woo
It's top people, it's top buzz, top music, top atmosphere
No hostility
Unity
Unity
Unity
Unity
Woo
Woo
If you're coming from America, the thing is to get up to Manchester and we'll fix you with a pair of flares 26 inches wide and a Manchester t-shirt
That's regulation kit
You're a big fan, aren't you
Oh, er, yeah, I am. Yes, yes, yeah, yeah
You are
Yeah, ever since the old days
Are you
Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah
You're a local lad
Yes, I am, yeah
Hacienda days and everything
Oh, yes
Oh, yes
Oh, yes
Oh, yes
Oh, yes
Oh, yes
Oh, yes
Oh, yes
Oh, yes
Oh, yes
Oh, yes
Oh, yes
Oh, yes
