Summertime seems made for love Encouraging ideas above The station that I have in life Exclusion cut back with a knife I see your smile and Have to look back You aren't supposed To do it like that The world you have Is far from my hopes You stand in the middle Whilst I'm on the ropes And yet it doesn't seem to matter You are you and I am me When our words are shared together Somehow one and one make three So we move along again Finding more and losing them We seek our way carefully We can't alert the enemy You are rich and I am not Your Hampstead house A wealthy spot Where people come from many lands Eating dinner and shaking hands But me, I live in a council flat With Arsenal fans I drink and chat But together we know who we are We treasure that so we'll go far What can we do, no one would see Compatible when we are free The people who live there inside Are not tied by petty pride We know our love We know that we care We take the time to be there We listen hard, we share the load We work as one and take this road There are no secrets to our passion It passes through the barriers there The people we are is what matters Not the place where our parents are So on we go, enjoy the scenes Never think of differences It seems we have more in common Love each one, having fun You are rich and I am not Your Hampstead house A wealthy spot Where people come from many lands Eating dinner and shaking hands But me, I live in a council flat With Arsenal fans I drink and chat But together we know who we are We treasure that so we'll go far As time goes by we build a life Things go well, we battle strife The two sides of the lives we lead Are reconciled, help when we need It seems we thought The worst of them all But people came When their children called The rich and the poor The good and the bad It seems they're both In your mum and dad The enemy becomes your friend now Hampstead, Regent's Park alike We can walk wherever we want to Love it seems can cross divides Happiness is the love we share In fact goes out everywhere When people see how we can be Wealth matters not, so set them free We know our love, we know our care We take the time to be there We listen hard, we share the load We work as one to take this road
