It's a 'summer' song because of the pool sequence? In the video? Which isn't the song?
As I said before, for many folks the 3rd melodic part of 'Jesus He Knows Me' has a beach mood.

I guess it ís just me, but just because a lyric mentions 'summer' or 'sun' doesn't make it emblematic of summer, particularly in the case of Driving the Last Spike.
I could see why some associate 'Driving the Last Spike' with summer. It sounds like a piece for a number of an opening ceremony of the Olympics. As the Games usually take place in the Northern Hemisphere summer, hence the connection.

Why those? I think I get what you mean by the others apart from JHKM & HBTS which I mentioned earlier.
Because the sound of 'Land of Confusion', ''Squonk' and 'Taking It All Too Hard' suggest hot tropical weather.

I'm very glad that Phil's OK.
Sincerely, I wish him all the best.
He deserves it.

I rewrite it:
I have no idea why Jesus He Knows Me reflects 'summer'.
For the swimming pool scene in the music video, for it was released as a single in (Northern Hemisphere Summer) and for many folks the song's 3rd melodic section has a beach mood.

For many folks, thoughts of a C-section rarely provoke a beach mood!
I mean the 3rd melodic section of the song.
I was at the point of not writing it in order to avoid any Misunderstanding.

For me the Genesis song that best casts a summer-like feeling is
'In Too Deep'.
The following one is 'On the Shoreline' (curiously 'No Son of Mine' has a winter mood).
Then next one, 'Throwing It All Away' and then, without any particular order, 'Invisible Touch', 'Paperlate', 'You Might Recall' and 'Way Of The World'.
And I also think 'Domino' has a Midsummer evocation, I always play it every 23rd June.
Other songs with summery vibes are:
'Anything She Does', 'Follow You, Follow Me', 'Home By The Sea', 'I Can't Dance', 'Illegal Alien', 'Jesus He Knows Me', 'Land of Confusion', 'Mama', 'Squonk', 'Taking It All Too Hard' and 'Vancouver'.

You Might Recall:
Everyday seems summertime
The river flow with wine
When you were here with me
I wish we'd stayed that way forever.

2 years is a long time to wait
Yeah, indeed!
I hope this doesn't turn into a song by Roxette: Never Is a Long Time.

Or (What I think):
What PC meant with Andy having put words on some lines for him and Jill is that Andy threw a tantrum at him when PC told Andy that he had a new partner, with PC taking some of the sentences uttered by her during the scene and "reworked" them in Thunder and Lightning.
-
I think there could be two likely possibilities.
Either:
Myskow made up this story.
-
I think this is highly unlikely. Perhaps Phil made a joke?
I regard it quite implausible too. But that's what came out in the interview. On the other side this doesn't match with the whole story at all. Could it be that PC made a joke? Maybe, but it doesn't seem so. Myskow wrote that this information sent "shivers down [her] back". Maybe the one who wrote some of the lyrics was a musician friend hired for Face Value and that Myskow mistook his name for that of Andrea's. In this case, the only one having a name with a slight phonetic resemblance is Daryl.

It says:
"For one track, Thunder and Lightning, Andy wrote some of the words.
He said:
'She wanted something to do, so I told her to try some lyrics.'
'I had the chorus line and she came up with some lines which I reworked.'
'She wrote it for me and Jill.'
"I didn't know a thing about this.
Was somebody here aware of this? 
What do you think?From what I gather it's an article from The Sun published between very late January'81 and April'81.
It was written by Nina Myskow, not known for being very reliable, but seems to be based on an actual conversation.

Gosh, look what I found yesterday!
In the "Lyrics" Section.

I've found the comment!
Actually, it was not uttered by Mark Bataitis, but by Phil Myland (Bataitis was the moderator and began the chat with the first post).
Myland stated:
I read [Chester] was saying how sad he was to hear of Phil’s poor health & was open to reaching out to Phil but not sure if he as made that move let’s just hope so as I’ve been told Phil is now having 24 hour care.
Myland later went on:
He has deteriorated since then unfortunately
& my information is from a very reliable source he is not very well.
Alas, the worst omens are confirmed.

Could it be the same copyright issues that John Edginton has faced with his interviews?

He is called Mark Bataitis. Actually he is a member of the forum.

Brandon from Drumeo on Instagram said the Phil stuff is coming soon. He mentioned something about legal and or people issues
It's July
-
Last thing they said (a while ago) is that something will come around May, which is soon. So let's see if that will become reality
It's July. I mean, it is quite unusual that the interview has not been released yet after almost 2 years. And oddly enough without any clear reason being given.
