We live these months just for the fun
Spend all our time out in the sun
I sit and wish for longer days
Bask in drunken summer haze

The cornershops went out again
All the good pubs packed to ten
We'll always find a way to be
Top of the crew; chain running free

Oh, yeah, we gotta go
There's no other way, we know
Days and nights, just go
Wish they were never ending

A summer holiday
Our time as the young pretenders
We'll waste out days away
Going out as the young pretenders
Yeah, we all agree
That we're longing to be free
No other way to be
Long live the young pretenders

Walk through the nextdoor neighbor's yard
While breaking rules and acting hard
Take out the pins, yeah, walk the talk
Caught up at [?] like a lot
Hanging out in the local pub
We'll piss about till after dark
Forget that we're supposed to meet
Those other girls from down the street

Oh, yeah, we gotta go
There's no other way, we know
Days and nights, just go
Wish they were never ending

A summer holiday
Our time as the young pretenders
We waste out days away
Going out as the young pretenders
Yeah, we all agree
That we're longing to be free
No other way to be
Long live the young pretenders

A summer holiday
'Cause there's no other way

La-la-la La-la-la

A summer holiday
Our time as the young pretenders
We waste out days away
Going out as the young pretenders
Yeah, we all agree
That we're longing to be free
No other way to be
Long live the young pretenders
A summer holiday
A summer holiday
We'll be more than young pretenders
