Chris Rea and engineer Stuart Epps talk about the making of Espresso Logic:

----The inspiration behind the album title originates from an afternoon spent in an Italian espresso bar, watching politicians on TV. "It was interesting to listen to their comments," says Rea. "Because they had nothing in common with the dialogue of the folk in the bar. It had never looked to me as far apart as it did that day. Somebody had mentioned people's logic and I just used poetic licence and said, well it's espresso logic."---

Once there was a summer love
Long ago and far away
The autumn whispers to the falling leaves
Summer love can't stay

This was their place, this was where
Just for one moment, without cares
Two lovers dreaming of how the world should be
Please bring back my summer love to me

Did you have to go, did I have to stay
Did you have to go, away
Now it's all gone, but who can forget
Summer love, sweet summer love

I see your shadow everywhere
I feel your smile though you're not there
A kiss for every star in the sky way above
You'll always be my one and only summer love...


Летняя любовь была-
Так давно, так далеко.
Шорох листьев- осень ведь пришла-
И любить, как летом, не легко.

Было наше место- на двоих-
Только на момент- наш вздох, наш взгляд-
Лишь влюблённых пара- мир для них-
Летняя любовь- вернись назад!

Должна была уйти ты или нет?
Должна была уйти ты, дай ответ?
Всё ушло сейчас, но помнишь вновь-
Летнюю, ту сладкую любовь.

И я вижу тень твою везде-
Твою улыбку- хотя тебя нет здесь-
И поцелуи всех тех звёзд над головой-
Мы всегда едины- я и моя летняя любовь...
