Summer of lust, summer so blue
Not much to offer, nothing much to do
I need a new place to live and a new pair of shoes
Said she's coming over like a flirter
But underneath I feel like a murder
She said that I was sexually over the hill
But that ain't no reason for me to want to kill
But someone's gotta pay and somebody will
But it won't be me who does the collecting
I was only just reflecting
