[Verse 1]
Child in the distance
A memory untamed
Family connections
There's a mess in the kitchen
All messages received
Always a quick reply
The mood the afternoon
Another change of light

[Chorus]
There's nothing like an English summer
There's nothing like an English summer

[Verse 2]
The telephone is good
So wonderful and true
We need the time to think
Everyone's listening
Another change of light
The underlying truth
Request to pack it in
No solutions

[Chorus]
There's nothing like an English summer
There's nothing like an English summer
[Verse 3]
The telephone is good
So wonderful and true
We need the time to think
Everyone's listening
Another change of light
The underlying truth
Request to pack it in
No solutions

[Outro]
The telephone is good...
