They drained the old marsh on Summer Hill plain -
no kid’s dreams ever gonna chase here again
Summer Hill
Lyrics by Mick Evans
They drained the old marsh
on Summer Hill plain
built a plague of houses
on our teenage free-range days -
no kid’s dreams
ever gonna chase here again
They bulldozed away
our growing-up games
paved over memories
where we kissed and misbehaved -
love’s young dream’s
never gonna rush here again
Summer Hill - you’re mine
in the polaroid sunshine
Summer Hill
dancing in the sun -
Summer Hill - you’re mine
send me spinning back in time
my forever-young
Hey - fifteen again!
sweet summer’s here to stay
Ella’s on my cross-bar
and we sure ain’t got no brakes -
now’s forever
taste her lips on mine today
Summer Hill - you’re mine
in the polaroid sunshine
Summer Hill
dancing in the sun -
Summer Hill - you’re mine
send me spinning back in time
my forever-young
Gonna buy some land
in my home town -
grab a slice of that
hallowed ground -
before I lose the best days
that kid ever found
Summer Hill - you’re mine
in the polaroid sunshine
Summer Hill
dancing in the sun -
Summer Hill - you’re mine
send me spinning back in time
my forever-young
They drained the old marsh
on Summer Hill plain
