The Festival Song

For all the festival heads, check it out

Alright it's that time of the year you've been waiting for months now
Saving up your pay trying to figure all your funds out
It's kinda funny when you think of all the fun how it's taken this long to shake last years come down
Forget the past, as soon as December starts
Grab your parents credit card and hope that you don't get in last
Yeah, 'cause if you let it pass these days a week late can mean paying triple when you BPay off eBay (true)

It's hard to figure out what tickets you want, should it be Falls Festival or Pyramid Rock?
Well for me, I really don't care 'cause I don't listen to rock
Or hip-hop, I just wear earplugs and sit there and watch
If your favourite band's there you'll think you'll never forget
You'll probably get that wasted you wont remember their set
But if you're a festival head then you already know the plan
Go and pack up all your shit 'cause you're going on a trip for those

Summer days, (summer days)
Oh, summer days, (summer days)
For those summer days, (I love summer days)

Now when you finally make it there from driving up with your crew
You better get your mind set on finding something to do
'Cause you'll be stuck there lining up in the queue
Moving bumper-to-bumper until your arse hurts, all to get your car searched
Yeah, and if your alcohol you're stressing 'cause you need it bad
Stashing bottles of vodka up in your sleeping bags, (that's right)
Maybe get a spare tyre with a heap of cans
It doesn't matter everybody has their secret plan

Once your crew start picking your spot
Unpacking, realise all the things you forgot, or shit that you lost
("Man I swear I brought my pillows and socks!")
And dudes too excited already sitting there sloshed
It doesn't take long before you find somebody blazing up
"Mate what are you doing, I said to save the bud for Xavier Rudd!"
It's always the cheap fuckers who ain't paid enough, (yep)
But please note that we don't condone taking drugs

Summer days, (summer days)
Oh, summer days, (summer days)
I love summer days, (I love summer days)

Now as soon as the sun rises you'll be ready to start
At six o'clock standing there outside your tent with a glass
You're in it for the long haul, it doesn't end when it's dark
We all know you've got your friends to make your energy last, (ay, Louis!)
And you gotta time it so you peak it while the acts play
Try and jump the fence and start sneaking into back stage
If you get caught by police then try to act straight
"Nah, they're not those pills, I need them for my back pain!"

Yeah, and dudes are flying saying to their mates "I love you man!"
Or on a walk so they can go and call their Mum and Dad (it's Pez)
And then there's people who so desperately just need a friend
They're going up to anybody trying to have a D&M
The next stage is you won't even watch the bands live
You're having too much fun talking shit around your camp site
Getting wasted while you bake in the sun
What can I say, yo, it's a fucking good way to get drunk!

I love summer days, (summer days)
Oh, summer days, (summer days)
I love summer days, (I love summer days)

Now by the last day you're probably thinking summer's the worst
'Cause all that time out in the sun left you covered in burns
And smothered in dirt, the site of all the dunnies is worse
And all the food shops are gone when you're so hungry it hurts
All you wanna do is sleep, but you've got packing to do
Squash up in that car and jump back in the queue
Yeah, I know we all complain about the pain when it ends
But next year we'll save up and do the same shit again

I love summer days, (summer days)
Oh, summer days, (summer days)
I love summer days, (I love summer days)
