lyrics

Memories of suburbia on a mid-summer’s eve,
Memories that are stirred by a gentle breeze,
Home made jewellery created from corned-beef can keys,
Elderly ladies praying on arthritic knees,
Memories recalled under Belsize Park leaves…

Memories of Rumbelows on a midsummer’s eve.
Gazing forlornly through a rain-spattered window,
Entranced by reverie in the mid-evenings damp glow,
My favourite refreshment, a glass of cold Tango,
Wincing in anguish at the roar of a Kango.

Memories of suburbia on a mid-summer’s eve,
Memories that are stirred by a gentle breeze,
One-footed pigeon nestling under Rentokil’d eaves,
Ugly gravy stains on Mike Oldfield sleeves,
A sickly Cocker Spaniel with a nasty disease…

Memories of suburbia on a mid-summer’s eve.
Thinking of Bergman & his concept of ‘Magic & Loss’,
Apart from ‘Tenko’ the telly is a load of dross,
Blow-torch scorched, peeling magnolia gloss,
Listening to Genesis playing ‘Los Endos.’

Memories of suburbia on a mid-summer’s eve,
Memories that are stirred by a gentle breeze,
The flowers of marmalade & apricot trees,
The Belsize Park wonder: turn of the century leaves,
The symphony of summer: the drone of bees…
Memories of Rumbelows on a midsummer’s eve.
