long hot summer

• videosunda paul weller'ın epey yakıcı göründüğü; sanki sıcak yaz günlerine fon müzik olsun diye kotarılmış '89dan bir the style council kaydı:
  
  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
  all those lonely films
  and all those lonely parties
  but now the feeling is off-screen
  an' the tears for real not acted, 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
  
  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
  
  (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
• aslen 1983 yazinda ortaligi yikmis guzel bir tsc guzellemesi. bu pop saheserinin 12" extended versiyonu 1989'da gorucuye cikmis olmali, en azindan oyle aklimda kalmis.
