Art Brut Soundtrack Of The Summer Lyrics

Soundtrack Of The Summer Lyrics

All through the night

They begin to take shape

From the crack of the vinyl

To the hiss of the tape



Play and record

Held down together

Tabs pushed off

So you can't tape over it ever



Just a couple of friends

Hangin' out with each other

We started to swap tapes

To soundtrack our summer



Tapes that are full

Of the things we can't say

To each other

During the day



All through the night

They begin to take shape

From the crack of the vinyl

To the hiss of the tape



Play and record

Held down together

Tabs pushed off

So you can't tape over it ever



It can't be just me

That's workin' out

These songs that we've chosen

And what they're about



Are we after the same thing?

Am I crossing the line?

I'm checkin' the lyrics

I'm pressing rewind



All through the night

They begin to take shape

From the crack of the vinyl

To the hiss of the tape



These songs won't see the sun

Any time soon

Under the cover of headphones

And for the privacy of bedrooms



All the best pop songs

The girl meets boy

And there wasn't one song

That I didn't enjoy



But I lacked confidence

When I was young

So things didn't work out

The way they get sung



Play and record

Held down together

Tabs pushed off

So you can't tape over it ever



A couple of friends

Hangin' out with each other

Just swapping songs

To soundtrack our summer
