Stars - Long Hot Summer Lyrics






I play out my role
Why I've even been out walking
They tell me that it helps
But I know when I'm beaten, beaten

All those lonely films
And all those lonely parties
But now this feeling is off-screen
And these tears they just ain't acting, anymore

I'm all mixed up inside
I want to run but I can't hide
And however much we try
We can't escape the truth and the fact is

Don't matter what I do
It don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do
'Cause I end up hurting you
You

One more covered sigh
And one more glance you know means goodbye
Can't you see that's why
We're dashing ourselves against the rocks of a lifetime

Don't matter what I do
It don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do
'Cause I end up hurting you

In my mind different voices call
What once was pleasure now's pain for us all
In my heart only shadows fall
I once stood proud now I feel so small
I don't know whether to laugh or cry
The long hot summer just passed me by

We're dashing ourselves against the rocks of a lifetime

Don't matter what I do
It don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do
'Cause I end up hurting
Don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do
'Cause I end up hurting you
You

    Great cover of an amazing song!

  2. t.... c....

    when i was 14, this song came out. the first time i heard it i was in my attic bedroom in toronto. it was a heatwave and all my friends weren't really friends anymore. i was about to move schools, leave it all behind. i loved a girl, but she didn't care about me. i had money cuz i was a child actor, so i bought records and they kept me company up in the attic. i listened to this again and again. and i dreamed that one day, i would be in a band...and i would sing this song. the eye altering, alters all. if you are in a bedroom in the heat somewhere, alone: make everything around you a myth. follow that mythology. and see what happens. hope you enjoy this cover. please listen to the original, and everything paul weller has done. he is one of the greatest of all time in so many ways. splash. it's summer. bye.
