For being Austria's best Live-Band at present? For steadily showing constancy for almost 6 years now? Surely not. Forcefully working on the claim to be Austria's first Rockband meeting international standards needs no excuse. Far from it! Finally someone steps up to meet the challenge! Maybe that could explain the idiosyncratic choice in christening the band "Excuse Me Moses". And aren't commandements there to be broken? Especially in a country where rules and regulations count for a lot? The lads don't give a good goddam or in other words: Excuse Me Moses.

Summer Sun
Excuse Me Moses Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I still see you,
feel you
but i'm numb
i can hear you,
taste you
but you're gone

footprints have faded

like a wave upon a shore
and i am craving
coz you left me wanting more

this love was never meant to last forever
I know this love i'll always remember
mmh mmh summer sun, hmmmmmm mhhh summer sun

so strong it pulls me
far away
walking, thinking
of what you said
you asked me if i'd come
if i would come with you
i should have
i could have
coz now i've lost you.

this love was never meant to last forever
I know this love i'll always remember
mmh mmh summer sun, hmmmmmm mhhh summer sun

this love was never meant to last forever
I know this love i'll always remember

this love was never meant to last forever
I know this love i'll always remember

mmh mmh summer sun, hmmmmmm mhhh summer sun
ohhh-ohhhh summer sun, ohhh-ohhhh hmmmm hmmmm summer sun
