That '18 summer, do you remember?
Unbroken sun from May to September
Past bad summers emphatically put right
People forgot what rain even looked like
Five straight months of barbecue diets
Too hot for even the customary riots
Brits complaining as only they could
But, oh, that summer was good

Home early and a bottle of wine
Ripe tomatoes straight from the vine
Hanging around in our shorts and tees
In the garden drinking G's and T's
Yes England was a wonderful place
The sun put a smile on everyone's face
A rare plus-point for global warming
And no hint of the brewing storm

Oh the long hot summer of  '18
We had the feeling that the world was waiting
We couldn't have known then how it would roll
Spiraling desperately out of control
If only things hadn't taken that tack
And we could just press a button and skip the track back
To the carefree times that these days lack
Just play this song and bring it all back

We could walk in the park every evening
Wishing we didn't have to work for a living
Staying outdoors as often as practical
Summer festivals warm and magical
It just seemed to go on forever
We knew we were having the best summer ever
To see one like that again we never would
But oh, that summer was good

Oh the long hot summer of  '18
We had the feeling that the world was waiting
We couldn't have known then how it would roll
Spiraling desperately out of control
If only things hadn't taken that tack
And we could just press a button and skip the track back
To the carefree times that these days lack
Just play this song and bring it all back

If only things hadn't taken that tack
And we could just press a button and skip the track back
To the carefree times that these days lack
Just play this song and bring it all back
