Long Hot Summer (Live At The London Dominion / 1984)

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, And the tears are real, not acted anymore. Oooh im all mixed up inside, I want to run but i cant hide, However much we try, we cant escape the truth and the fact is, Dont matter what i do, dont matter what i do, It dont matter what i do, it dont matter what i do, It dont matter what i do, cos i end up hurting you. One more covered sigh, And one more glance you know means goodbye, Cant you see thats why We're crashing ourselves 'gainst the rocks of a lifetime. Dont matter what i do, dont matter what i do, Dont matter what i do, it dont matter what i do, It dont matter what i do, cos i end up hurting you. In my mind different voices call, And what once was pleasures now pain for us all In my mind only shadows fall, I once stood proud now i feel so small, Dont know whether to laugh or cry, The long hot summer just passed me by. Shu du du du du de de wop, shu du du du du de de wop I want to run but i cant hide No matter what i do, it dont matter what i do, Dont matter what i do, it dont matter what i do, It dont matter what i do, cos i end up hurting You.
