Текст песни Long Hot Summer - Club Mix - The Style Council

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

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

(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
