Wombats, The - The English Summer Lyrics






Maybe it's the English summer
Maybe it's the atmosphere
But it's got me seeing stars when I'm with you

Maybe this is all theatrics
Maybe it's very clear
That I'm dripping over your every single move

And there's an animal inside of me
And he's feeding off every word you say
He pulls my hair, he coerces me
Into a world where romance is just a game
This awkward feeling is getting in the way

Maybe it's about your future
Maybe it's about your past
But sweetheart, it's just the present that needs some glue

Maybe I should play the percentage, yeah
Maybe I should do the math
Cause on paper I'm way too soft a touch for you

And there's an animal inside of me
And he's feeding off every word you say
He pulls my hair, he coerces me
Into a world where romance is just a game

And there's an animal inside of me
And he's feeding off every word you say
He pulls my hair, he coerces me
Into a world where romance is just a game

And this awkward feeling is getting in the way
And this awkward feeling is getting in the way
And this awkward feeling, is begging for you to stay

Wombats, The The English Summer Comments
  1. r.... ....

    These drums are so crisp, much better than the album version!

  2. P.... B....

    uve gotta f*****g love Tord, he's just so happy 😂😂

  3. Y.... R....

    this is fire🔥

  4. c.... ....

    Can I ask what Murphy is doing at 2:25? Is it for a musical effect or is he just having a lil' dance?

  5. J.... H....

    this in what church?

  6. V.... ....

    the chorus really reminds me of cage the elephant

  7. f.... m....

    You couldn't believe how cool and energetic a track like this always sounds; you can get addicted to its power, the sound is clean, thorough and purely rock. When you want to be cheered up by an amazing band and you don't know who suits your need you can pick The Wombats with no fear!

  8. G.... T....

    Who counted the amount of mosh pits that they got into ?

  9. M.... M....

    Free Tord, he wants to jump about.

    M.... M....

    Hahahaha this made me laugh, very true. He's nuts if you ever get to see him live

    M.... M....

    I've seen him live, and will be again in August! Can't wait to see him happily bouncing across the stage!

  10. T.... ....

    It was certainly a hot English Summer this year.

  11. T.... M....

    I think the album is full of pop hits and I really like the new style (I think it's more polished in Glitterbug than in This Modern Glitch -or maybe I've just got used to it now) but as many here, I preffer the old Wombats and do think this is the best song in the album.

  12. O.... ....

    when is there going to be a music video for this?

  13. L.... E....

    Took me a while to get used to the band's new style, but totally love it now. Still, this song is my favourite on the album just because it's kind of like their old style but it's a lot more mature than the first album which I think gives this song a bit of a unique feel. Also, the lyrics are a lot more... emotional in this song I feel?

    L.... E....

    THIS IS CUTE

  14. s.... m....

    In a way, Tord looks like Dan Howell

    s.... m....

    OH MY GOD I NEVER NOTICED THAT BEFORE WTF

  15. T.... O....

    Great track guys.

  16. A.... ....

    This and Girls/Fast Cars are my favorite The Wombats songs thus far.

  17. T.... V....

    Très bonne chanson!

  18. L.... H....

    the only song I moderately enjoy on the album... I'm open to change in bands for the better, but I never wanted to see these guys go FULL pop

  19. s.... ....

    this version is better than the one on the album

  20. T.... G....

    I cant wait for you to be in portugal

    T.... G....

    Counting days towards nos alive :)

  21. A.... G....

    Fav song on Glitterbug!

  22. I.... P....

    Future FIFA song!

  23. R.... ....

    Love the Church Sessions, hope to see Pink Lemonade in this format!

  24. T.... K....

    Does anyone know when the rest of the album will be on YouTube in the US?

  25. M.... ....

    Maybe it's the English summer
    Maybe it's the atmosphere
    But it's got me seeing stars when I'm with you

    Maybe this is all theatrics
    Maybe it's very clear
    That I'm dripping over your every single move

    And there's an animal inside of me
    And he's feeding off every word you say
    He pulls my hair, he coerces me
    Into a world where romance is just a game
    This awkward feeling is getting in the way

    Maybe it's about your future
    Maybe it's about your past
    But sweetheart, it's just the present that needs some glue

    Maybe I should play the percentage, yeah
    Maybe I should do the math
    Cause on paper I'm way too soft a touch for you

    And there's an animal inside of me
    And he's feeding off every word you say
    He pulls my hair, he coerces me
    Into a world where romance is just a game

    And there's an animal inside of me
    And he's feeding off every word you say
    He pulls my hair, he coerces me
    Into a world where romance is just a game

    And this awkward feeling is getting in the way
    And this awkward feeling is getting in the way
    And this awkward feeling, is begging for you to stay

  26. d.... a....

  29. H.... ....

  30. L.... Z....

    Can't wait for May 12 to see them at the Fonda Theater!

  31. T.... R....

    can. not. wait.

  32. A.... F....

    Got my deluxe copy of the new album through the post yesterday! This is already a fave for me!

  33. j.... l....

    Tomorrow...

  34. H.... ....

    2:25
    best part.

    H.... ....

    THAT LITTLE WIGGLE HE DOES IS KIILING ME Defs best part

    H.... ....

    agree!!! SO cute <3

  35. w.... ....

    I really like the songs like this that you guys make, but every band doesn't have to make all their songs the same. The Arctic Monkey's latest album was different from their past ones but it was good none the less, just different. I like the approach you guys are taking and I hope it takes off!

  36. Z.... M....

    Here we go! Many other songs for glitterbug sound a bit poppish, but this one kicks back to the wombats style we dig from Tales.

  37. H.... E....

    i am loving these sessions!!!

  38. S.... v....

    I like the way the "old sound" of the wombats is in this song:)

    S.... v....

    exactly what I like about it too! it's a shame their late albums lack this kind of song.

  39. L.... M....

    Seen the wombats last night in Manchester and it was absolutely amazing, this is my favourite song on the new album because it sounds a lot like their old stuff :)))

  40. J.... B....

    They should make a UK version of Griswald Family Vacation and use this as the opening song.

    Of course, the family would end up going to Brighton or Torquay. Maybe Blackpool

  41. R.... Z....

    Contrary to popular belief I REALLY like your new album. Every song.

  42. L.... ....

    Love it :)

  43. E.... ....

    Bought Glitterbug today! :) so good

  44. L.... ....

    definitely my favourite off the new album

  45. L.... S....

    This song is just great c: can't wait to see them on Monday on my birthday!!

  46. A.... R....

    By far the best song on the album 👏🏻

  47. L.... P....

    I love this version of it so much. Can't wait for the album to arrive XD

  48. N.... M....

    sounds great! But its the only song so far on the album that I actually enjoy, wish you brought out more raw indie stuff like on your first album

    N.... M....

    @James Nixon i like the other stuff but i agree wish their new stuff wasnt as poppy

    N.... M....

    @Bam yeah, there too much synth and shit in there new stuff for me as I love blues rock etc, so I love just a band rocking out with just guitars and drums

  49. K.... C....

    Just amazing👏👏👏can't wait for monday🎉

  50. B.... H....

    Easily my favourite song on the album

  51. S.... ....

    Woah this whole album is just too good! Worth a wait haha

  52. T.... A....

    Oml yesssssss, you guys are so brilliant 👌👌

  53. B.... ....

    Best song on Glitterbug. Without question.

    B.... ....

    BananaBomb Greek tragedy

    B.... ....
