See you there
Story behind the song
Ah Somerset. One of England's most beautiful counties. Famous for Cider, Exmoor and Cheddar cheese.
Oh and a little place called Glastonbury.
Also where my son and daughter-in-law chose to get married in summer 2021, which was a fabulous day despite the threat of COVID restrictions.
Song is about far-flung friends getting back together for a joyous occasion in a beautiful setting, which it was, and I was delighted to perform it for them on the day.
Lyrics
We were the ones
The queens and kings of summer
Wrapped in aspirations
We were legendary
And then we moved on
Over the furthest of earth's horizons
Still the pull's too strong
We know we belong
Because the times are so great when we get back together
To celebrate or whenever we feel like it
And we feel like it
OK, time to go
Just throw your stuff in the car and drive
You heard from the others yet?
Yeah, they say they're on their way
See you in Somerset
And it feels like it's been forever
And it feels like no time at all
Since we danced in the sunset
Oooh ooh ooh
See you in Somerset
J and B will be in the air now
Cos they texted us from Pearson
The girls are stuck on the 303
And the lads are at Temple Meads
Whatever possessed them to go that way
Must have cost the best part of half a day
But they'll be here
They'll all be here
Because the times are so great when we get back together
To celebrate or whenever we feel like it
And we feel like it
OK, time to go
Just throw your stuff in the car and drive
You heard from the others yet?
Yeah, they say they're on their way
See you in Somerset
And it feels like it's been forever
And it feels like no time at all
Since we danced in the sunset
Oooh ooh ooh
See you in Somerset
For this day
After so many years
For this day
Rainbows of tears
If we feel like it
And we feel like it
OK, time to go
Just throw your stuff in the car and drive
You heard from the others yet?
Yeah, they say they're on their way
See you in Somerset
And it feels like it's been forever
And it feels like no time at all
Since we danced in the sunset
Oooh ooh ooh
See you
OK, time to go
Just throw your stuff in the car and drive
You heard from the others yet?
Yeah, they say they're on their way
See you in Somerset
And it feels like it's been forever
And it feels like no time at all
Since we danced in the sunset
Oooh ooh ooh
See you in Somerset
