    As a young man my life stretched before me, now I am the old man watching the rain run down the window pane like the unseen tears in my heart.

      We all start out as babies and all have to get old, it’s a sad life but many don’t live to grow old but die young,so,could say were the lucky ones who are old.

      the art of life is keeping in rhythm with your age. Just keep right on to the end of the road. Hold those memories that make you smile. I remembered yesterday throwing little sweet rappers in a ball at me mate and saying 'Lightning bolt!' like a nerd and him getting pissed off at me. Just makes me laugh to remember. I get the pain though, it's just necessary to look back and be inspired rather than beset.

    This poem (song) describes a dream that the speaker had about an old man who couldn't sleep and spent the night watching the rain. The old man shared with the speaker his wisdom about the beauty and ugliness that exists in people, and how we can learn from our mistakes and pain.
    Although the old man has disappeared, his words have left a lasting impact on the speaker. The speaker suggests that if anyone else finds themselves unable to sleep at midnight, they can come to him and he will share the old man's wisdom with them.
    The poem seems to suggest that even though the world can be filled with both beauty and ugliness, it is possible to find meaning and understanding in the midst of it all. The midnight summer dream represents a moment of insight and clarity, and the speaker wants to share that with others who may be struggling to find their way.

    Woke up on a good day
    And the world was wonderful
    A midnight summer dream had me in its spell.
    I dreamt about an old man
    Sat and watched the rain all night
    He couldn't sleep a wink as all the drops fell.
    He told me of the beauty
    Hidden in our foreheads
    He told me of the ugliness
    We show instead.
    And when we put a foot wrong do we learn
    From all the pain
    A midnight summer dream as he watched the rain.
    Then at midnight he poured another drink
    And bent my ear
    After midnight we sat up half the night
    Or maybe more
    And he began to tell me what it was all for
    I woke up in an armchair
    He had gone i don't know where
    Left me there to sit and look at the rain
    Don't remember much at all
    But his words were echoing
    A midnight summer dream and then wake again.
    Maybe I'll never find him
    Maybe he's gone forever
    Maybe I'll have to sit here
    Watching weather.
    One thing's pretty certain helped me
    Make it in the night
    Showed me somewhere else besides wrong and right
    And at midnight if you can't sleep
    Then I can bend your ear
    After midnight we'll sit up half the night
    Or maybe more
    And I'll begin to tell you what it is all for.
    Wake up on a good day and the world
    Feels wonderful
    Midnight summer dream has me in its spell.

    I loved this song from the first time I heard it. They hardly played it on the radio and I must’ve heard it on a college radio station back then and record it on tape. Bc I remember listening to this song in the summer of 1983 on my Sony Walkman 2 with the minimal push buttons. Back when finding a great song was kind of hard and hard to hunt down. Each time I come across a Stranglers album or cd, I flip it over to see if this song was on it and I never seen it till this day. It must be on ep or something.
    Listening to this song is like floating on a cloud.

    My father who sadly passed, used to listen to the Strangler's all the time. Followed them on tour. A man grounded and stout. A punk, but reflective. The line here "he is gone forever, maybe I'll never find him, we all have to sit here watching weather" just sums up the feeling. He's gone. There's no heaven we can sit and chat again, but we stay behind watching the rain.

    Lyrics: Midnight Summer Dream by the Stranglers
    Woke up on a good day
    And the world was wonderful
    A midnight summer dream
    Had me in its spell
    I dreamt about an old man
    Sat and watched the rain all night
    He couldn't sleep a wink as all the drops fell
    He told me of the beauty
    Hidden in our foreheads
    And he told me of the ugliness
    We show instead
    And when we put a foot wrong
    Do we learn from all the pain?
    A midnight summer dream
    As he watched the rain
    [Pre-Chorus 1]
    Then at midnight he poured another drink and bent my ear
    And after midnight, we sat up half the night, or maybe more
    And he began to tell me what it was all for
    [Chorus]
    I woke up in an armchair
    He had gone, I don't know where
    He left me there to sit and look at the rain

    Always the Sun
    The Stranglers
    I don't remember much at all
    But his words were echoing
    A midnight summer dream
    And then I wake again

    Disque mal aimé du fan pur et dur des Stranglers, l'album Feline recèle quand même quelques perles comme Midnight Summer Dream.
    Cette opposition entre la froideur martiale du rythme et la chaleur des guitares hispanisantes rend le tout à la fois original et suranné. On imagine presque Joe Dassin venir accompagner le chant de Hugh Cornwell. En attendant si on accroche à l'ambiance et à la mélodie on écoutera cette chanson en boucle bien au-delà de l'été !

    Woke up on a good day
    And the world was wonderful
    A midnight summer dream had me in its spell
    I dreamt about an old man
    Sat and watched the rain all night
    He couldn't sleep a wink as all the drops fell
    He told me of the beauty
    Hidden in our foreheads
    He told me of the ugliness
    We show instead
    And when we put a foot wrong do we learn
    From all the pain
    A midnight summer dream as he watched the rain
    Then at midnight he poured another drink
    And bent my ear
    And after midnight we sat up half the night
    Or maybe more
    And he began to tell me what it was all for
    I woke up in an armchair
    He had gone I don't know where
    Left me there to sit and look at the rain
    Don't remember much at all
    But his words were echoing
    A midnight summer dream and then wake again
    Maybe I'll never find him
    Maybe he's gone forever
    Maybe I'll have to sit here
    Watching the weather
    One thing's pretty certain helped me
    Make it in the night
    Showed me somewhere else between wrong and right
    So at midnight if you can't sleep
    Then I can bend your ear
    After midnight we'll sit up half the night
    Or maybe more
    And I'll begin to tell you what it is all for
    Wake up on a good day
    And the world feels wonderful
    Midnight summer dream has me in its spell

    I love this song so much... especially when Hugh is talking before the first chorus, I could listen to him narrating poems and other stories for hours, hearing his voice is so soothing and haunting at the same time
