Summer stretching on the grass...
Summer dresses pass
In the shade of willow tree
Creeps a crawling over me
Over me and over you
Stuck together with gods glue
It's going to get stickier too
It's been a long hot summer
Lets get undercover
Don't try too hard to think...
Don't think at all

I'm not the only one
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'd find
If you took a look inside
Not just deaf and dumb
I'm staring at the sun
Not the only one
Who's happy to go blind

There's an insect in your ear
If you scratch it won't disappear
It's gonna itch and burn and sting
You wanna see what the scratching brings
Waves that leave me out of reach
Breaking on your back like a beach
Will we ever live in peace ?
Cos' those that can't do
Often have to
Yeah those that can't do
Often have to preach

To the one's
Staring at the sun
Afraid you'd gone too far
When you took on your guitar
Not just deaf and dumb
Staring at the sun
Not the only ones
Who'd rather go blind

Intransigence is all around
Military still in town
Armour plated suits and ties
Daddy just won't say goodbye
Referee won't blow the whistle
God is good but will he listen
I'm nearly great
But there is something missing
Left it in the duty free
But you never really belonged to me

You're not the only one
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'd find
If you stepped back inside
Sucking on my thumb
I'm staring at the sun
Not the only one
Who's happy to go blind
