Long Hot Summer(Extended Version) - The Style Council

作词：Paul Weller

作曲：Paul Weller

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

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

I want to run but I can't hide

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

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

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

(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

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
