From the recording British Summer (2026 Remaster)

I wrote British Summer around 2020/21 and recorded it in my home record, playing all the instruments and doing the singing.

Lyrics

British Summer

[Spoken]
Hey everyone, look outside!
It's the sun!
It must be summer!

When I see a glimpse of sun
I know the British summer's here
It may only last a week
But that's enough for all the year

Drinking in the sun
Sunglasses are on
Laughing, having fun all the day

Down to Margate in the car
We'll have a day down on the sand
We'll go to Dreamland for the rides
And that is all that we've got planned

Drinking in the sun
Sunglasses are on
Laughing, having fun all the way

I'm gonna build a castle
It's my British home
Go paddling in the water
Looking out for crabs while kicking up the foam
I'm going up the parade
To get our fish and chips
The flakes of cod so tender
And the chips they are as big as battleships

[Spoken]
Come on, get into the water!
It's not that cold!

When I see a glimpse of sun
I know the British summer's here
It may only last a week
But that's enough for all the year

Drinking in the sun
Sunglasses are on
Laughing, having fun all the day

Drinking in the sun
Sunglasses are on
Laughing, having fun all the way
