        D
In the summer all the hikers
Hike out for the highest peaks
All the children watch the cricket
And they never wash for weeks

G                         F#
In the surbubs young protestors write
Bm                 C D
"Black And White Unite"

         Am               D
They're tearing up the streets
     D
I'm half in love with every girl I meet
The gasman loves the street
He loves to dril, he loves to think about his

G F#
Girl
           Bm                 C D
The sun is melting half the street

In the summer,
all the workers head out for the sandy beach
Stay together in the weather,
entertainment through your grief
Communities of prejudices travel on the train

The upperclass will have to pass the chance up
Of a knees-up with the gang
Your record profits will buy you an island

There's a jigsaw with a picture
All the country as a map
Hikers hiking, cyclers cycling
If I go, I'm not coming back

I'm all in love with all the girls I meet
The hardcore summer kind
Kitchen porters, budding painters
Whiskey-touring guides
In the rain, all your plans will fade
You'll be left with the jigsaw
