Strawberries, cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things

I walked in town on silver spurs that jingled to
A song that I had only sang to just a few
She saw my silver spurs and said let's pass some time
And I will give to you...summer wine
Oh..oh..oh...summer wine

Strawberries, cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you...summer wine
Oh...summer wine

My eyes grew heavy and my lips they could not speak
I tried to get up but I couldn't find my feet
She reassured me with the unfamiliar line
And then she gave to me...more summer wine
Woh..woh..oh...summer wine

Strawberries, cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you...summer wine
Mm...summer wine

When I woke up, the sun was shining in my eyes
My silver spurs were gone, my head felt twice its size
She took my silver spurs, a dollar and a dime
And left me craving for...more summer wine
Oh..oh..summer wine

Strawberries, cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off those silver spurs, help me pass the time
And I will give to you my summer wine
Oh...oh...summer wine

There is a really good version of this song done by Bono/U2 and, I think, the Corrs.  It's much more atmospheric than this version.

You know, I'd like to hear Nick Cave and Kylie do it, a la their  "Wild Rose" duet.  That would be interesting and perhaps quite good.

Your wish has been granted....  ...check out the version by Ville Vallo & Natalia Avelon , it sounds like what you wished for....

Ummm, they haven't had enough wine yet.

This is a quaint little tune, a real throwback, admittedly more amusing than inspiring.  What I'm really enjoying, though, are all the exaggerated professions of psychic pain below that, if anything, are drawing attention and interest to it!  You can bet that the more fuss a song causes, the more it will get played!  Songs that draw no ratings or comments at all are the ones that get dropped from play lists.  DUUUHHHH!!!  {#Biggrin}

Hint:  if you really want to see a song die, just ignore it!  Take, for example, Bob Seger's "Fire Lake"...  it has just one rating and one comment (mine), and it's withering on the vine!  {#Cheesygrin}

This song is atrocious.

I think this song pretty much ended her "career."  I'd rather hear "Something Stupid." ...that one wasn't so cheesy

Rated 9 for pure cheese factor

Precisely. And this between Gustavo Santaolalla - Deportation/Iguazu and XTC - Summer's Cauldron is the very definiion of "eclectic". Thanks again, Bill!

Love that album cover art! I can smell the cheese from here. And that reverb...you just can't have enough reverb. I'll bet it's real echo-chamber reverb too, none of that icky plate stuff.

Ah, the transistor. I got an AM transistor radio for Christmas one year. Best present by far. I could listen to the radio at the beach. I also learned to test 9 volt batteries with my tongue as a result. michaelgmitchell wrote:

Reminds me of leaving for school in the morning, my dear mother sitting beside the transistor (that's a radio for you young'ens) smoking up a storm with a coffee nearby. Nothing wrong with this memory. Mom's currently in her 80's, horribly incoherent, waiting for the Great Beyond to send for her. Miss the ol' mom on that couch in the morning. Thanks for this.

Ahhh, takes me back to my "wonder years" riding ferries to the mainland and bussing through the streets of Seattle, yeah! Nancy was such a hottie too, love the mini.

A blast from the past. very 60's. how about the little James Bond riff in there. Didn't they do a song called Some Velvet Morning? I think it sounded very similar, but I think I liked it better, but then I haven't heard it a long time. I was only about 8-9 years old when it came out. I was lucky to have older brother and sister, or I would have been listening exclusively to my parents music at that age. I got to hear all the psychedelic 60's music when in early grade school.

Good call! That would have been a great duo. The Corrs and Bono recorded a live version together that is pretty good. I'll upload that version if I can find it...

Sorry, Aalln, but I would have preferred this remain in the sixties. It seems so DATED to me now. Followed by Porcupine Tree....well, there ya go...something for everyone! I love RP.

Ol'Nancy sure is sporting the deer in the headlights look. This is ok enough, but I'd rather hear those two's version if Some Velvet Morning.

Wanted to share some "Summer Wine" with her back then!
Posted 16 years ago by RedGuitar    [ Reply ]
Hummmmm ... spurs and wine ... very kinky, particularly with her made for walking boots. Plus the James Bond theme in the background.

Does anybody have her CD from 3 or 4 years ago? There was one great song on it. It sounded very Neko Case-like.
