Cover art for A Summer Wasting lyrics by Belle & Sebastian

This song has is about two of my favorite things...summer time, and spending holidays with friends. I think there may have been an error in one of the lyrics though. I.e 'seven years of river walk ways' instead of seven weeks. Because the song is about the wasted summer holiday that was seven weeks. Its like when the beatles recorded the wrong name in their song 'oble de obla da' but left it as it was because recording is so time consuming and expensive...
