We ran out of school
With nothing but time on our hands
And when you're fifteen years old
You've got the world by the balls
And no plans
Just to get out of town
And hit the Birmingham streets
Go dancing to punk rock song s
Until the clubs have to close
We'll miss the last bus home
So for miles and miles and miles
We'll roam
Tra -la -la -la -la -la -la -la -la
All summer long
Tra -la -la -la -la -la -la -la -la
And the nights are long
We got no faith in the future
And the rain isn't falling yet
On this long, hot summer I
won't forget
Sneaking into the pubs
where they teach you to drink like a man
Until it's kicking out time,
it looks like we've got a
fight on our hands
Yeah
As the jukebox dies
and a pint glass flies
Ooh, it's gonna kick off in here
But if the fight ain't fair,
drink up and get out of there
We'll run as fast as we can
through the cool night air
Try -la -la -la -la -la -la -la -la
All summer long
Try -la -la -la -la -la -la -la -la
And the nights are long
We got no faith in the future
And the rain isn't falling yet
On this one hot summer I
won't forget
That was the last time that I saw you
When you said that we'd
match a light
I'm looking, looking for you, I'm proud
That our lives could stand apart
While I still live on in my heart
We're singing
Tra -la -la -la -la -la -la -la -la
All summer long
Tra -la -la -la -la -la -la -la -la
And the nights are long
We got no faith in the future
And the rain isn't falling yet
On this long, summer I won't forget
Tra -la -la -la -la -la -la -la -la -la
Stay up all night
Tra -la -la -la -la -la -la -la -la -la
And it always was right
We got no faith in the future
And we will turn for regrets
On this long, summer I won't forget
Oh
