01Everybody Has a Different Summer2:52
[Verse 1] I sell the ice cream by the water I watch the children count their change They say the summer lasts forever Mine is measured out in trays I meet you when the shutters close With sugar on my sleeve You say the day was beautiful I take your word and leave [Refrain] Everybody has a different summer Everybody wears a different sun But if we meet beside the bandstand We can share a little one Bring the part you haven't spent yet Bring the tune you couldn't hum Everybody has a different summer Come and sit till day is done [Verse 2] I've got an examination Monday You've got a baby cutting teeth He's got a van that needs a starter She's got a band that needs to eat We used to have the same three hours Now they're difficult to find But someone brought a blanket And we've made a little time [Bridge] Let the postcard have its blue sky Let the picture look complete We'll have sandwiches and stories And the grass beneath our feet [Final Refrain] Everybody has a different summer Everybody wears a different sun But if we meet beside the bandstand We can share a little one Bring the part you haven't spent yet Bring the tune you couldn't hum Everybody has a different summer And there's room for everyone

02Half a Haircut2:36
[Verse 1] He showed me all the photographs He told me what was new He took a great deal off the left Then asked about the right side too I looked at my reflection And laughed before he could I said I'd have the other half When this half did me good [Chorus] Half a haircut, whole new girl Halfway out into the world One side sensible and small One side doesn't care at all Let the fashionable people stare There's a little freedom in the air Half a haircut, whole new girl Taking half a chance on the world [Verse 2] My friends were waiting at the corner They said I'd had a narrow shave Then one of them began to giggle And nobody could quite behave We went into the little dance hall I took my coat off with a bow A fellow asked me what they called it I said, they'll name it anyhow [Bridge] It's only hair, it's only growing It's only something I can change Why did I spend so many mornings Being frightened to look strange? [Final Chorus] Half a haircut, whole new girl Halfway out into the world One side sensible and small One side doesn't care at all Let the fashionable people stare There's a little freedom in the air Half a haircut, whole new girl Taking half a chance on the world
