Summer's Killing Us Lyrics
Does summer exist in its praises?
Does summer exist in its praises?
Summer lives here in its praises.
Come on up her we got something to show ya
wanna show you everything we know
wanna show you we can vanish before ya
wanna show you we got our blind roads
and does your family know your wishes?
cause this chorus’ll do ya like the dishes
Summer’s killing us!
It’s just sing sing sing all day
It’s as if summer existed in its' praises
Come on over I got something to show ya
record sunshine it’s the Shadow Band
we can have strictly cactus relations
telling the waves to stop cra-sh-ing
and does anybody know your wishes?
cause this tune’ll do ya like the dishes
Summer’s killing us!
It’s just sing sing sing all day
It’s as if summer just exists in her praises
It’s a time for more to happen sooner
a time to be a person you still know
to float a while on your shore power
til you say,
‘Canada lost. Go home’
Where summer’s killing us!
Where we sing sing sing all day
It’s as if summer exists here in its' praises
Summer exists in a doorway
Summer exists at the fair
Summer is forever changes
Summer's taken me unawares
Does summer exist in its praises?
Summer lives here in its praises.
wanna show you everything we know
wanna show you we can vanish before ya
wanna show you we got our blind roads
cause this chorus’ll do ya like the dishes
It’s just sing sing sing all day
It’s as if summer existed in its' praises
record sunshine it’s the Shadow Band
we can have strictly cactus relations
telling the waves to stop cra-sh-ing
cause this tune’ll do ya like the dishes
It’s just sing sing sing all day
It’s as if summer just exists in her praises
a time to be a person you still know
to float a while on your shore power
til you say,
‘Canada lost. Go home’
Where we sing sing sing all day
It’s as if summer exists here in its' praises
Summer exists at the fair
Summer is forever changes
Summer's taken me unawares

Holy geez. We need some more Canadians on this board. This song is unbelieveable. It was incredible when they performed it live this past July at Ontario Place. To me, this song is about a perfect summer, and all the attributes that go with it- awesome days, having a summer girl, and playing lots of beach volleyball.
The best lines are at the end "summer exists in a doorway, summer exists at the fair' I can't even explain why I like these lines so much. To me, that is the definition of an amazing song.
I'm Canadian and just signed up. Love the hip, I do. This song does me like the dishes.
I just got the new hipeponymous box set. In one of the DVD's with extra bonus stuff. Gord hints that this song is all about the Summer in which the hip first formed a band when they were still in high school. The memories of getting together every day/night and playing music and just living for the moment. the get thier fist few gigs at local bars n such, nothing special but they just loved playing for n e one even if the bar was half empty they didn't care they just play for the music.
i always took this song to mean that the summers were "killing" them. they do alot of touring during the summers they are always showing up at outdoor festivals and stuff like that... maybe...
