"Lazy Old Sun" — from Something Else (1967). The English summer as a disappointment that's somehow still beloved.
Lazy old sun
What have you done to summertime?
Hiding away
Behind all those misty thunder clouds
I don't mind
To spend my time
Looking for you
For you are my one reality
When I'm dead and gone
Your light will shine eternally
Sunny rain, shine my way
Kiss me with one ray of light from your lazy old sun
You make the rainbows and you make the night disappear
You melt the frost so I won't criticize my sun
When I was young
My world was three foot, seven inch tall
When you were young
There was no world at all
Sunny rain, shine my way
Kiss me with one ray of light from your lazy old sun
Lazy old sun
Lazy old sun
Lazy old sun
Знаете ли вы, что...
- From Something Else by the Kinks (1967). The English sun — never hot enough, always hiding — observed with a combination of affection and complaint that perfectly captures the national relationship with weather.
