Don't let them take it away
Cause inside's something solid gold
So don't let them throw it away
Words, they mean nothing
So you can't hurt me
I said words, they mean nothing
So you can't stop me
I said your eyes, they say nothing
So you can't hurt me
(On summer days like these)
I said words they mean nothing
So you can't hurt me
Follow your own path from here
So don't listen to what they say
(They don't know nothing)
Cause inside, you've a heart of gold
So don't let them take this away
Words, they mean nothing,
So you can't hurt me
(On summer days like these)
I said words, they mean nothing,
So you can't stop me
(On summer days like these)
I said your eyes, they say nothing,
So you can't fault me
I said words, they mean nothing,
So you can't hurt me
Inside a heart of pure soul
A sun rising and falling away, like your soul
Cause here comes something wonderful
So don't let them throw it away
Words, they mean nothing
So you can't hurt me
(On summer days like these)
I said words they mean nothing
So you can't stop me
(On summer days like these)
I said your eyes, they say nothing,
So you can't stop me
(On summer days like these)
I said words, they mean nothing,
So you can't hurt me
Doves are an English indie rock band, formed in Manchester in 1998. The band is composed of twin brothers Jez (guitar, vocals) and Andy Williams (drums, vocals), and Jimi Goodwin (lead vocals, bass, guitar). Additionally, the band employs Martin Rebelski, as a touring and session musician on keyboards. The band released five studio albums between 2000 and 2020, three of which reached #1 on the UK album charts. A compilation album, The Places Between: The Best of Doves, was released in April 2010.
Doves went on hiatus in 2010. During this time, Goodwin released his first solo album, Odludek (2014), while the Williams brothers regrouped as Black Rivers. In December 2018, Doves announced they were ending their hiatus by performing for the Teenage Cancer Trust at London's Royal Albert Hall on 29 March 2019. Further festivals, including some dates with Noel Gallagher, were subsequently announced. The band released two new songs: "Carousels" and "Prisoners", in June and July 2020 respectively. Their fifth studio album The Universal Want was released in September 2020.
