Summer Of Love

I wasn’t in it for the music

I was in it for the drugs


Wanted to follow

My old man’s footsteps

And recreate

The summer of love


Wanted to taste that bitter sizzle

Of the pills underneath my tongue


And feel that unreal electricity

In a stranger’s hug


Needed to get more than just acquainted

With that sparkling darkness

After putting to bed the sun


Had to flush it all out my system

Whilst I still had the excuse of being young


But a boogie nowadays

Brinks on hospital stay

And god forbid I bang some beans


If I’m sober and if I keep clean

Then what does that motivation mean?


But I poured sweat to get tidy

Filled pint glasses with the stuff


And when I looked into your eyes

With the clarity of truth

I felt my summer of love


I don’t even text the pingers

Hardly binge on the memory


Was it cos we was off our nuts

Or were you truly a friend to me?


I don’t care for the heart hate,

The comedown,

The devilry


We just had a good time

Loved for the summer

I remember you, will you remember me?
