Midsummer's Night Scene

Petals and flowers
Petals and flowers
In the park getting dark eating the heat
there's an eye in the sky melting your feet
you see a chick who starts to nick the petals and flowers
She starts to joke and then provoke the dance of the hours
It's all down to a midsummer's night scene
It's all down to a Shakespearean dream
Get her face there's a place disfigured with love
Her hands are white like the night encased in a glove
She starts to swing and watches you nick petals and flowers
She starts to joke and then evokes the dance of the hours
Its all down to a midsummer's night scene
Its all down to a Shakespearean dream
Its all down to a midsummer's night scene
Its all down to a Shakespearean dream.

As a key component of Bolan's discography, the song reflects the artistic maturity he achieved while navigating the transition from his earlier rockabilly influences to the more polished sounds of the late 1960s. The recording captures the essence of the era's musical landscape, showcasing Bolan's ability to craft memorable melodies that resonated deeply with audiences. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to evoke the romantic and slightly surreal atmosphere often associated with the midsummer period, cementing its place in the canon of classic rock recordings.
