Summer in the City
Mikill Pane Lyrics

Listen. It never stays out for too long
The sun never stays out in the UK for long periods of time.

That sun shines bright but it seems the clouds are too strong
Although the sun is bright, the clouds are still stronger and block it often.

And when brawn beats brains, it's unfortunate mate
It's unfortunate when being strong or tough wins over being smart.

Cause your barbecuing chicken in the pouring rain
It's impossible to have a successful BBQ in the pouring rain.

I can't change the weather, but can offer a song
The songwriter can't control the weather, but can offer a song about the season.

About the one thing you want all year long
The song is about summer, the one season people look forward to all year.

But my friends it's like a trophy
Summer is like a trophy or prize, because it's rare in England.

England's never got it for long
England rarely has long periods of hot weather.

You know it's fucked up when even the Met office are wrong
It's a bad sign when even the official weather forecast can't predict accurately.

When it's hot I get it on like factor fifteen
When it's hot outside, the singer uses sunscreen with a high SPF (factor fifteen).

Grab my Frisbee and Jack Daniels whiskey
The singer takes his Frisbee and whiskey out to enjoy the sunshine.

Hash-tag my next tweet meet me in the park, I brought fat bags of sensi
The singer invites his followers to meet him at the park, and he brought lots of marijuana.

You'll see me on the grass
The singer can be found lounging on the grass during sunny days.

And that's where I'll be until the sun goes down
The singer plans to stay on the grass until sunset.

Until the keeper smells the reefer and he comes and throws us out
The park keeper may kick them out for smoking marijuana on the premises.

I reckon he's just green with envy cause I've got a spliff with me
The park keeper is envious of the singer for having marijuana.

When the sun shines on the big city
In London or other big cities, it's exciting when the sun comes out because it's rare.

Promise me that you will be there with me
The singer wants someone to share the sunshine with him, and asks for their promise to join him.

We can do a little of a lot or a lot of a little
Together, they can either do a little bit of many things or a lot of a few things.

When the sun beams down on a grey land
The sun is extra special when it shines on a grey, cloudy day.

Be prepared, meet me there in your Raybans
The singer tells the listener to bring their sunglasses to meet him on a sunny day.

I swear this would be wrong time of day
It would be a shame if the clouds appeared during the best time of day for sunbathing.

For the clouds to come around and rain on my parade
It would be disappointing if the clouds appeared and it started raining during the sunny day.

But I guess I'm only fooling myself if
The singer knows that he's being optimistic by hoping the sun will shine all day.

I go against the weather when we're all just helpless
No one can control the weather and it's futile to try to go against it.

We should make the most of what we witness
We should enjoy the good weather whenever it appears instead of wasting time being disappointed.

The summer's back in business
When the sun is shining, it's officially summer.

My ice-cream is already melting
It's so hot outside that the singer's ice-cream is already melting.
