The Summer Starts Here
(L:Dean/Gilling M:Dean)

Seems I've been waiting for so long
hoping that my weatherman was wrong
all of a sudden I realised
summer means more than just blue skies
it took some time but I got wise
it is a feeling from the heart

The summer starts here (now the fun has just begun)
The summer starts here (we're reaching out for the sun)
it doesn't matter what time of the year,
'cause summer, summer, summer starts here!

Grey rainy days used to make me sad
waiting for the sun would get me mad
sitting dreaming of brighter climes
sun-drenched thoughts would fill my mind
now I know that I was blind
I had the answers all along

The summer starts here (now the fun has just begun)
The summer starts here (we're reaching out for the sun)
it doesn't matter what time of the year,
'cause summer, summer, summer starts here!
 

Beach Bound
(L:Dean, M: Pearce/Dean)
 

I can't stand the job another day and the bossman says he's gonna stop my pay
I know I have to be there by 8, but I'm up all night watching "late night late".
The bills are piling up at home and the credit card people won't leave me alone,
I can't afford to run the car I've bought, I got a letter from the court saying "see'ya in court"

Beach Bound, beach bound, now I know they won't catch me
'cause I'll be making it with the sea.

The phones been ringing off the wall, I'm not taking any calls,
live in debt is what they preach but you don't need a mortgage to live on the beach.
The landlord's bugging me the rent but I just keep telling him the cheque's been sent,
if I send it over, better keep on clear, it'll bounce right into the stratosphere

Beach Bound, beach bound, now I know they won't catch me
'cause I'll be making it with the sea.

I jump everytime there's a knock at the door, no matter what I get someone still wants more,
I could rob a bank but wouldn't get far, 'cause a kid on roller skates could catch my car!
I won't last long on the money I make, but I got to get away for my sanity's sake
I could change my address to "no fixed abode"  'cause the ocean ain't got no area code!

Beach Bound, beach bound, now I know they won't catch me
'cause I'll be making it with the sea.
 

The Big Kahuna (Is Watching Over You)
(L:Dean/Pearce, M:Dean/Gilling/Webb)

Wahini, makula, wahana malu...
Surfer boy...
Nothing can touch you there's nothing you can't do
'cause the big Kahuna is watchin' over you!
 

I Dreamt About Her Friend Last Night
(M+L: Pearce)

I dreamt about her friend last night, and I feel so bad
all other times I was not unfaithful to anyone I had


I've got a feeling maybe something I ate last night,
got me thinking 'bout something I know ain't right
Don't go flippin' somersaults,
Don't blame me it's not my fault wow oh...

I dreamt about her friend last night, and I feel so bad
all other times I was not unfaithful to anyone I had
and if I ever see her friend, every now and then,
I'd better not looking deep into her eyes,
'cause it could happen again.

Just because I had a couple of drinks last night,
I laid down and I started to think last night,
I never noticed how cute she was,
now my girl's mad at me because wow oh...

I dreamt about her friend last night, and I feel so bad
you know that feeling when it's all funny inside,
butterflies the lies I don't want inside

I dreamt about her friend...
 

Deadhead
(M+L: Dean)

I wanna tell' bout this girl of mine,
I tried to date her for a long long time,
now I know it's not what it seemed,
she's just another shattered dream.

When we go out I wish you'd stayed at home,
that brain-cell of yours must feel so alone.
Your voice gives me a headache, how much more can i take?
You're always making trouble between our friends,
you haven't got the sense to try and make amends
you've got the kiss of death, insults on your every breath.

Well you're a dead head baby, you're no fun, dead head baby ask anyone,
dead head baby, everybody knows you've got air between your ears and the daylight shows!

You don't have to be around to bring everybody down,
you can kill a party from the far side of town.
Your hobby's causing friction, your conversation's total fiction

Everything you do is always self, self, self, I've got real doubts about your mental health

You're an attention seeker, with no redeeming feature

Dead head baby, you're no fun, dead head baby ask anyone,
dead head baby, everybody knows you've got air between your ears and the daylight shows!

You like nothing better than starting up a fight,
then you sit back to see what the sparks will set alight

Well you're a dead head baby, you're no fun, dead head baby ask anyone,
dead head baby, everybody knows you've got air between your ears and the daylight shows!

Thought you were the girl for me, but you been spreading misery, you and I are history
I wanna forget that I met you, starting over is all I wanna do, air head, you and I are through.

ANOTHER SUMMER, ANOTHER GIRL
(L:Dean/M:Dean+Pearce)

Something's got me hung up, something's got me outta my head
I got a sneaky feeling it might have been something you said
I don't need a reason why, I only have to say goodbye.

It's not the way I planned it, it just turned out that way
and now I write it down I thought I had much more to say
the time we had together was fun,
but I think you got me figured wrong.

Another summer, another girl, another beach, another world,
and the past just fades away
Another summer, another girl, another beach, another world,
now I know that I can't stay.

Don't go making plans now, I know one day you're gonna see,
that living your way, well girl, that's just not me,
I don't need no alibis, you can see the truth is in my eyes.

I don't try to understand it, it's easier to walk away,
save your speech for another guy some other day,
I don't need another fight,
so I'll pack my bags and leave tonight.

Another summer, another girl, another beach, another world,
and the past just fades away
Another summer, another girl, another beach, another world,
now I know that I can't stay.

It always goes in circles, the same mistakes all over again,
I don't believe in miracles except every now and then.

Another summer, another girl, another beach, another world,
and the past just fades away
Another summer, another girl, another beach, another world,
now I know that I can't stay.

Another summer, another girl

 

QUEEN OF THE BEACH
(L:Dean/M:Dean+Pearce)

My pulse starts racing and my knees go weak
whenever she gets too close to me
I can't stop shakin' when she comes near
I'm in a cold sweat just as soon as I see her.

I went to the doctor to get some help
I told him this girl was affecting my health
he said if he could cure what's botherin' me he'd be making medical history!

Queen of the beach, she looks so fine now,
Queen of the beach, I wanna make her mine now
I can't stop thinkin' 'bout her all the time, she's always on my mind,
Queen of the Beach.

On this beach she wears the crown,
my blood pressure rises when she's around
I've got to stop for a swim to cool down,
'cause she's the hottest girl in town

She reigns supreme in any volleyball game
when it comes to surfin' the story's the same
She rules the waves she rules the sand,
the centre of attention when she's around.

Queen of the beach, she looks so fine now,
Queen of the beach, I wanna make her mine now
I can't stop thinkin' 'bout her all the time, she's always on my mind,
Queen of the Beach.
 

GO LITTLE SURFER
(L:Webb+Gilling/M:Webb+Pearce)

When she pulls up on the street, tarmac meltin' underneath
99.9 degrees, no sun, no surf, no sand, no breeze
Fill up the "eski" up with beer, strap on the board and disappear

Go little surfer, go little surfer, go little surfer, go little surfer, go little surfer,
You've got the other side's girls beat, everytime that you compete.

When she walks upon the beach, hot doggers straining at the leash,
When she walks upon the sand, the wax just melts into their hands,
But when she's out there on the waves, it's now respect when they all say:

Go little surfer, go little surfer, go little surfer, go little surfer, go little surfer,
You've got the other side's girls beat, everytime that you compete.

Surfin' til' the sun goes down, then the music's gonna drown,
the crashing waves upon the shore, well she don't need them anymore,
She sets the disco floor alight, radical moves all through the night.

Go little surfer, go little surfer, go little surfer, go little surfer, go little surfer,
You've got the other side's girls beat, everytime that you compete.

REDONDO MOON
(M+L: Pearce)

Can't believe vacation's over, it ended all too soon,
one more night to be together, here with you,
under Redondo Moon.

Walkin' on the beach at midnight, the waves are playin' our tune
wish we could stay forever, here
under Redondo Moon.

Where the ocean meets the shore, that's where I belong,
one more night, then one long flight, tomorrow I'll be gone. (x2)

So let's start again next summer, whatever our fortunes
don't forget to write me everyday
and remember Redondo Moon.
 

Her Big Brother

(M: C.Pearce/S.Dean L: S.Dean)

I hear you took out Linda and you got home late,

And you tried to get fresh on the very first date

You used every line just tryin' to make a pass

You had the nerve to say you'd run out of gas

Her Big Brother's lookin' for you, Her Big Brother's lookin' for you

Oh I see trouble looming , her Mum & Dad are fuming

She told everybody what you tried to do

Her Big Brother's lookin' for you

 

In this town word gets round pretty fast

But it always gets heard by the one that matters last

You're in big trouble now take my advice

Get out of town! I hear Tokyo's nice.

 

Her Big Brother's lookin' for you, Her Big Brother's lookin' for you

Oh I see trouble looming , her Mum & Dad are fuming

She told everybody what you tried to do

Her Big Brother's lookin' for you

 

He says you're gonna be sorry, If I were you I'd worry, He's gonna cut you down to size

 

Don't go down the mall 'cause he knows where you go

He'll be down there waitin' with his buddies till you show

You're in big trouble what you did was out of line

He's lookin' for you now you'd better run and hide

 

 

Her Big Brother's lookin' for you, Her Big Brother's lookin' for you

Oh I see trouble looming , her Mum & Dad are fuming

She told everybody what you tried to do

Her Big Brother's lookin' for you

Her Big Brother's lookin for you

 
 

I Don't Wanna Ride That Rollercoaster

(M + L: Pearce)

First date, and it's gonna be great, I cruise down the block, pick her up at eight,

Her pad, say "hi" to her Dad, Get her home early or he's gonna be mad

"I don't mind." "Hey, it's your choice, Let's see what's goin'down"

But she chose the amusement park on the other side of town

 

I don't wanna ride that rollercoaster again

(Chicken out, checkin' out, rollercoaster)

I don't wanna ride that rollercoaster,

Round and around and around and around

 

Not well. And I'm feelin' like hell, but I gotta stay cool I don't wanna seem yellow,

We split, for some food for a bit, but I knew I wasn't gonna get away with it,

We blew some change on the rifle range, we rode the Ferris Wheel,

But when she said "Let's go on that again!" I had to hide the way I feel!

 

I don't wanna ride that rollercoaster again.

(Chicken out, checkin' out rollercoaster)

I don't wanna ride that rollercoaster,

Round and around and around and around,

Round and around and around and around

 

I close my eyes and I'm hangin' in,

Don't wanna lose my lunch on the second bend,

Well I'm prayin' to God for this ride to end,

Then she wants to go around again and again!

 

I don't wanna ride that rollercoaster again,

(Chickenout, checkin' out rollercoaster)

I don't wanna ride that rollercoaster,

Round and around and around and around

Round and around and around and around

Round and around and around and around

 

 

She wants to go around again and again etc.

 

Born To The Beach

(M + L S.Dean/C.Pearce)

Well, your Dad says he wants you to be, a city big-shot

But if that's what he thinks, the old guy's in for a big shock

He wants to move too far inland, you wanna keep your feet real close to the sand

 

Let your old man get landlocked, if he wants to

But the plans for you he's got, no can do

You'll do what it takes to stay where you are, well anything but workin' in a burger bar

You are

Born to the Beach......you're a son of the surf and the summertime heat now,

Born to the beach.....So many waves to ride, so many girls to meet now
 

Your Dad doesn't understand, how could he,

To choose concrete instead of sand, he's crazy

You can't survive the 9 to 5 all day, you wanna live your life, your own way

 

The beach is your world and more, a way of life now

If he thinks you'll change you know he'd better think twice now

You know you're never gonna move away, the coast is where you're gonna stay

 

You are

Born to the Beach......you're a son of the surf and the summertime heat now,

Born to the beach.....So many waves to ride, so many girls to meet now

 

The feelings run so deep, the feeling is so strong,

Out of your depth, a fish out of water, it's in your blood, it's where you belong

 

The beach is your world and more, a way of life now

If he thinks you'll change you know he'd better think twice now

You know you're never gonna move away, the coast is where you're gonna stay

 

You are

Born to the Beach......you're a son of the surf and the summertime heat now,

Born to the beach.....So many waves to ride, so many girls to meet now
