they called it the summer of love.
They were burning babies,
burning flags,
down on Caldron Street,

Around her zigzag round face
and a look of half surprise
Like a fox caught in the headlights,

If you don't take me out of here,
So fine a breath of wind

We bussed around the market towns
and we picked fruit down in Kent
And we could tinker knives

They say flowers faded now,
hard weather and hard booze
But maybe that's the price
