about

Remember those holidays by the beach, when your parents gave you 20 bucks each and you disappeared for days on end down by the breakwall or up at the pinny parlour with other kids who had been drawn together under that caravan park sun? And remember the friends you met and fell in love with and never saw again? This song's for them.

lyrics

Caravan Park Summers
(words/music S.Gibson)
Bm D
Uptown kids, Saturday night, going
A
downtown, feeling alive
Bm D
girls from the avenues dressed to kill, boys
A
from coast, pharmacy pills
Bm
The back bars filled, gamblers and drunks,
D A
boys from the quarry playing pool out the
Bm
front the beer garden's full, mums drinking
D
flagons, the bands playing Chisel,
A G A
Springsteen and Dragon

G A
Caravan park summers
D G
Stay casual, stay free
G A
Caravan park summers
D G
Old dreams by the sea

G A
I shouldn't have left her
D G
Down by the coast
G A
Of the bad decisions
D A G A
I hate that one the most

Everything's warm, the heat keeps rising
From bodies and thoughts, everyone trying
To get some hope on a Saturday night
Beer and suntans might make it right

So the summer comes and the summer goes
Future plans , white wine flows
Days are passing, she'll leave the park soon
And he promised to meet her on the beach before noon

CHORUS

Em A
He won't see her again that's clear
Em
her mums remarried
A
And he's with his dad
D G D G A
In the summer every second year

CHORUS

G A
Caravan park summers
D G
Stay casual, stay free
X3

Caravan park summers
D A G
It’s you and it’s me
