Down at the lake
It was in the summer
The kind that never seemed to end
We had just moved there
The land of the suburbans
I was playing my new guitar
Someone yelled from over the wall
This was intriguing
He must've been six feet tall
I had nothing to say
Chorus:
Meet me down at Lake Lindero
Bring your extra skateboard
Tell your mom you'll be late for dinner
We've got someplace else to be
The year was 1980
And how were they supposed to know
Things were changing quickly
I mean we were down with Costello
After Armed Forces
I was never the same
Laughing at our game
Didn't feel a bit of shame
Singing in the rain
I would follow my old friend
To that lake again
(chorus 2x)
À Beira do Lago
Era no verão
Aquele que nunca parecia acabar
Tínhamos acabado de nos mudar pra lá
A terra dos subúrbios
Eu estava tocando minha nova guitarra
Alguém gritou do outro lado do muro
Isso era intrigante
Ele devia ter mais de um metro e oitenta
Eu não tinha nada a dizer
Refrão:
Me encontre à beira do Lago Lindero
Traga seu skate extra
Diga pra sua mãe que você vai se atrasar pro jantar
Temos outro lugar pra ir
O ano era 1980
E como eles poderiam saber
As coisas estavam mudando rápido
Quero dizer, estávamos na vibe do Costello
Depois de Armed Forces
Eu nunca fui o mesmo
Rindo do nosso jogo
Não sentia nem um pouco de vergonha
Cantando na chuva
Eu seguiria meu velho amigo
Até aquele lago de novo
(refrão 2x)
