1.	Blue Lagoon 02:13	lyrics	buy track
Sitting in the blue lagoon Floating around at a quarter to noon Thinking 'bout the way you smile I have seen you in quite a while Oh oh oh Quite a while Oh oh oh Quite a while Jumping off of the pier Bombing into murky water It's not the same without you here Why don't you come down anymore? Oh oh oh Anymore Oh oh oh Anymore Sitting in the blue lagoon Wishing I was here with you That you'd come down off your high hill And swim round with me for a while Oh oh oh For a while Oh oh oh For a while Jumping off of the pier Bombing into murky water It's not the same without you here Why don't you come down anymore? Oh oh oh Anymore Oh oh oh Anymore Oh how things have changed Seems like nothings still the same Oh man it's such a massive bummer How much we've both changed, since last summer Oh oh oh Since last summer Oh oh oh Since last summer Oh oh oh Man it's such a massive bummer How much we've both changed, since last summer

I've never been a huge fan of piers When I jump off them, I'm afraid that all my peers Will think I'm a coward For tucking in my knees So dear wharf jumpers You got a lot of respect from me Hey hey hey Doing planks, Popping manus Living life on the edge Of the water Belly flops Diving spots Jumping from the top Of a support beam Hey hey hey I've never been a huge fan of piers When I jump off them, I'm afraid that all my peers Will think I'm a coward For tucking in my knees So dear wharf jumpers You got a lot of respect from me Hey hey hey Doing planks, Popping manus Living life on the edge Of the water Belly flops Diving spots Jumping from the top Of a support beam Hey hey hey Dear peers If you're afraid of piers And scared you'll let them down Cause you don't wanna drown It's a summer to remember So please don't forget The pier feels much safer Once you've jumped off and got wet
3.	Board-shorts Bangs & Mash 02:15	lyrics	buy track
Ain't no summer complete, without togs, towel, and beach And once we're all done, we can fill up our tums With sweet mushy carbs, and saussy delights That'll keep our souls warm, through the cold summer nights Owm, owm, owm, owm Oh swim for the swimmers, and toggle the togs We're here for potatoes, and tubes made of hogs We'll swim for our dinner, and surf for our lunch Yes it's summer in Taupō, so dig in and munch Owm, own, owm, owm Some sweetcorn and gravy, served on hot plates and trays As we gaze out the window, out to Pākā Bay With big smiles on our faces, and pruned up pinky fingers We'll live for these moments, when yonder dawn breaks Owm, owm, owm, owm Oh swim for the swimmers, and toggle the togs We're here for potatoes, and tubes made of hogs We'll swim for our dinner, and surf for our lunch Yes it's summer in Taupō, so dig in and munch Owm, own, owm, owm Sliced ham and cold bread, add some mustard or more For a lunch to remember, oh it will not bore Grab sauce and the barbie, we're ready to eat Once the kai has been made, then we'll start the feast Owm, owm, owm, owm We'll come back for seconds, and thirds if ya like Then when summer ends we'll be, off on our bikes Back home to the city, just waiting to see Lake Taupo in summer, for next years big feed Owm, owm, owm, owm, owm
4.	The Princess & The Togs 02:41	lyrics	buy track
There once was a princess who hated to swim Every time the court asked her she refused with every whim They just couldn't get her to backstroke 'til one day she tried it and in love with it fell She swam for a century, she never came ashore She would swim out for miles where nobody saw That she'd lay and she'd think, of all kinds of things And on some occasions, she would even sing Then sailors came by, and soon they heard her voice Cross the deep blue calm water, it's sound was quite choice But it caught up the captain, and the ship it did crash Leaving one man alive just, floating like an ass She swam for a century, she never came ashore She would swim out for miles where nobody saw That she'd lay and she'd think, of all kinds of things And on some occasions, she would even sing The lad he got home, and a rumour he spread Of a half fish half human, who's voice was like bread Delicious but dangerous, in large amounts When the princess got word, she started to shout See this is the tale of mermaids and more Of legends and stories that you've heard before The Princess was Merrilyn, and as she had fame So the sea creatures, took on her name
5.	Taupō 02:26	lyrics	buy track
Taupō Oh Taupō How did you come to be? Were you surfaced by the earth Quakes caused by Volcanic activity? Taupō Oh Taupō The lake of many dreams We swim your shores Beaches explore Return once more to breath Taupō Oh Taupō Our hearts ache for you We wish for summer Pray for weather So you we may come to Taupō Oh Taupō The waters getting deep The Taniwha are waking We swim to land and watch As once more the earth they're walking Taupō Oh Taupō How great a lake How lovely is your tide How luck must the people be Who on your shores reside Taupō Oh Taupō We thank you for your time As waves break fast We follow suit As we hear the clocks chime Taupō Oh Taupō Haere rā great lake Ta-ta for now Until we meet again Our large blue watery friend

This summers been A bit of a bum Been too much sunshine And too little fun So let's change all that It's time to turn This bummer summer Overwhelmingly slumber summer It's time to turn this bummer Into life Tomorrow lets go dancing Let's just dance the night away We'll stay out in the long grass And in the wind we'll sway We'll hold hands under A neatly shaded tree Let's turn this bummer summer Into a summer just for we This summers been A bit of a bum Been too much sunshine And too little fun So let's change all that It's time to turn This bummer summer Overwhelmingly slumber summer It's time to turn this bummer Into life On Friday lets go swimming And wharf jumping at night We'll splash the waves at one another Under the moon light We'll laugh and sing and play around Then lay down on the beach And watch the stars flicker away And breathe in their sweet light This summers been A bit of a bum Been too much sunshine And too little fun So let's change all that It's time to turn This bummer summer Overwhelmingly slumber summer It's time to turn this bummer Into life
7.	i dont know how to swim 02:01	lyrics	buy track
It seems a shame That summer means Spending time at the beach Cause try as I might There's just one thing Nobody can seem to teach Me how to swim Or even float So I stay on land or in a boat And summer time just Isn't it for me Let's go swimming (No please no) Let's go diving (No please no) Let's go lay in Peter's pool On inflatable chairs and flamingos! (No please no please no) It seems a shame That summer means Spending time at the beach Cause try as I might There's just one thing Nobody can seem to teach Me how to swim Or even float So I stay on land or in a boat And summer time just Isn't it for me Let's go fishing in a yacht! (Not without my life jacket!) Let's go to the beach! (Not without my SPF 50) Let's go wade in the shallows As crabs start grabbing at our toes (That seems to me like a much better plan) It seems a shame That summer means Spending time at the beach Cause try as I might There's just one thing Nobody can seem to teach Me how to swim Or even float So I stay on land or in a boat And summer time just Isn't it for me
8.	drowning in love but im actually drowning please help 02:24	lyrics	buy track
Oh I'm drowning in love Yes I'm drowning in love Oh I'm drowning in love And also literally They're just so perfect Standing by the shore They seem angelic But then I'm not quite sure That they aren't some mirage So before I propose marriage I'm gonna ask them if They would hold my hand Oh I'm drowning in love Yes I'm drowning in love Oh I'm drowning in love And also literally As I begin to sink Beneath the waves I raise my hand and I start to wave Towards the shore, Where they are standing Hoping that they'll see So that when they come out to save me They'll offer their hand to me Oh I'm drowning in love Yes I'm drowning in love Oh I'm drowning in love And also literally They reach out Their hand touch mine Oh thank you so You've saved my life They look at me, Right in the eyes And I am lost For all of time Oh I'm drowning in love Yes I'm drowning in love Oh I'm drowning in love And also literally Well, technically formally, but You get the drift Pun intended
9.	Motutere Bay 02:30	lyrics	buy track
I don't know What's across the water I don't know If it's friend or foe I don't know If I'll ever go there I don't know But I hope I do Motutere Bay Motutere Bay Motutere Bay Motutere Bay I'm not sure What the ocean holds What's down there Hidden amonst the shouls Of fish and oysters Taniwha and waves Is it my future If I misbehave? Motutere Bay Motutere Bay Motutere Bay Motutere Bay I won't ask Where the water flows If the winds will lead me there Then I'll surely know But until that day Think I'll go my own way For I have no fins And I won't go diving in Motutere Bay Motutere Bay Motutere Bay Motutere Bay So before you leap forwards Into the unknown Remember where you came from And the whanau you were grown And when the tide returns Know they'll love you and what you've learned Let the wind slowly guide you To Motutere Bay
10.	3382 02:58	lyrics	buy track
Over summer I kept score Of how many days I spent Out and indoors And while the latter Was thirty three It's the first that speaks to me I went outside adventure One time less than eighty three My task for next year Is to be eighty four I'm so sick of spending Half that time Inside of doors A kiwi summer may be cold But next year's will be hot And if rains for thirty four I'll go out even if it's not Summer's not for spending time Locked up in my room I much prefer the fresher air As breezes blow on through I run around and swim and drive And head up to the coast Where the people that I love and miss Still live, at least most So if you see me through your window Remember it's you time to grow To step outside, go quest, bike ride Don't just wait for snow See summer's just for you And it's also for me too To spend time with people that you love And people that love you Go kick a ball Or sunbathe Or watch the stars at night Slap sunscreen on from dusk till dawn Go swimming And wharf dive Today's another chance So live your summer romance Tonight.

Dog Point, it gets pretty rough Dog Point, you better call it's bluff If your looking for jumping, or just wanna splash This point of course, is a point for sure At which you wanna land, the waters fine The sand sublime, the world just slips away The sound of waves, will make you stay Dog Point, it gets pretty rough Dog Point, you better call it's bluff If you wanna lay, in golden sand This is the place, to make your camp The trees are sweet, the birds they sing They want you here, so do your thing Just stick around a while, and soon you'll start to smile Dog Point, it gets pretty rough Dog Point, you better call it's bluff A land that time, seemed to forget So don't you go, and leave it yet Oh Dog Point, wants to be Man's best friend, it just wants you To stand a while, so setup and make camp
12.	The Volcanic Loop 02:02	lyrics	buy track
This is the volcanic loop The place you wanna stay You oughta make your home Underneath the shade This is the volcanic loop A place to rest you feet You never know the people You will meet This is the volcanic loop This is the volcanic loop This is the volcanic loop This is the volcanic loop This is the volcanic loop Hot lava, magma soup Where fire and brimstone lay You'll be safe beneath the shade This is the volcanic loop Stand tall, aim higher A place of great fire The latest scoop This is the volcanic loop This is the volcanic loop This is the volcanic loop This is the volcanic loop This is the volcanic loop So everybody raise a glass The oceans bubbling So drink, the night is grand This is the volcanic loop And everyone understands This is the volcanic loop The pumice and the sand This is the volcanic loop This is the volcanic loop This is the volcanic loop The world is at your feet This is the volcanic loop This is the volcanic loop This is the volcanic loop Where fire and brimstone meet
