The Kooks – Let’s Go Sunshine

Sitting in my room painting the world
And the kids are not alright
Good England thrown to the wolves
And the lunatics taking over
Heaven I found under my demons
And the smoking gun that you found
Lying on the ground
I’m just sitting painting the world
And the kids are not alright

When I don’t have a choice, that’s when I find my voice
I’m not trying to be what you want me to be
I’m not your friend, I’m your Queen
You’re quickly losing your scene
I’m not trying to be what you want me to be
Woah (woah woah)
Woah (woah woah)
Woah (woah woah)
Woah
The kids are not alright

Standing up in front of a mountain
And I don’t want to fight
The clouds answer to no one
They don’t need the sun
The streets are dark and the gas light leads me
Soon I’m out of sight
Howling back
Back at the moon

I’m just sitting painting the world
And the kids are not alright

When I don’t have a choice
That’s when I find my voice
I’m not trying to be what you want me to be
I’m not your friend, I’m your Queen
You’re quickly losing your scene
I’m not trying to be what you want me to be
Woah (woah woah)
Woah (woah woah)
Woah (woah woah)
Woah
The kids are not alright
Woah (woah woah)
Woah (woah woah)
Woah (woah woah)
Woah (woah woah)
Woah (woah woah)
Woah
The kids are not alright

Why don’t you stay here? I wanna spend some time
Why don’t you lay here? Make the full moon cry
Why don’t you love me the way I want you to?
You cut up the best dress I ever bought for you

But you don’t have to doubt or figure me out
Let me show you the way it’s gonna be
You don’t have to doubt what it’s all about
See the light that leads you here, we can find a way

I want you to be here all the time
I want you to be here when I die
I want you, you, just don’t ask why
I want you, you, all the time
I want you

Your scent brings me flowers, your heart, it brings me wine
All of these hours, I wanna do that time
Your love is such hardship, but work I’m pleased to do
And my back is breaking, fire I’ll walk through

You don’t have to doubt or figure it out
See the light that leads you here, we can find a way

I want you to be here all the time
I want you to be here when I die
I want you, you, just don’t ask why
I want you, you, all the time
I want you

We don’t need the seas to separate
No regret
See the storm in you against your own
Cigarette

And you don’t have to doubt what it’s all about
Darkness coming down, night is all around

I want you to be here all the time
I want you to be here when I die
I want you, you, just don’t ask why
I want you, you, all the time
I want you to be here all the time
I want you to be here when I die
I want you, you, just don’t ask why
I want you, you, all the time
I want you

I got a window
I’m trying to live inside
I got a lover
And she’s kind of kind
She got a feeling
Like I’m somebody else
I’m gonna run with that
Until I let her know
I’m not a body
I’m just a soul

High on the buzz
Trying to separate
You are the pulse
You the falling rain

Don’t stop, don’t stop believing
Time stop, you’d better believe it
When the day is almost over
And the clouds are in the sea
When my life has all been lived
Even though I didn’t love you
You made me believe

Da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da
In love
Da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da

Black widow
Crawling down my spine
I wanna break free
I wanna stay alive
I got a feeling
Like I’m somebody else
I’m gonna run with that
Until I let her know
I’m not a body
I’m just a soul

High on the buzz
Trying to separate
You are the pulse
You the falling rain

Don’t stop, don’t stop believing
Time stop, you’d better believe it
When the day is almost over
And the clouds are in the sea
When my life has all been lived
Even though I didn’t love you
You made me believe

In love
In love
In love

Don’t stop, don’t stop believing
Time stop, you’d better believe it
When the day is almost over
And the clouds are in the sea
When my life has all been lived
Even though I didn’t love you
You made me believe

Da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da
In love
Da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da

I’ll never give your love
I’ll never give your love away
Remember love
When we weren’t so Fractured and Dazed

In a world
Where we try to hurt each other
I know you feel bad
For what you did and how you recevered

Im a blessed man
Just to have touched your face
But then again
Who are you to make me replace that

And if I was you
I would have done the same
When lies meant truth to you
It was you who loved the fame

I’ll never give your love
I’ll never give your love away
Whoah Whoah
I’ll never give you up
No matter what you say
Whoah Whoah

Blue eyes
And a flicker of wonder in you
Shadows of youth
Never a greater sorrow

Five hundred years in the wild with you
Wouldn’t be enough
We flying
Too crazy to imitate

And if I was you
I would have done the same
When lies meant truth to you
It was you who loved the fame

I’ll never give your love
I’ll never give your love away
Whoah Whoah
Remember love, Remember love
When we weren’t so Fractured and Dazed

I’ll never give your love
I’ll never give your love away
I’ll never give you up
No matter what you say
Whoah Whoah

Never give you up
Never give, Never give you up
So Fractured and Dazed

No no
So so Fractured and Dazed
Remember Love

You’re So Fractured and Dazed

And if I was you
I would have done the same

Hard times in the city
I get over, I get under
Don’t it make you feel dizzy?
All the anger
I don’t mean to be jealous
But my eyes have seen you with fellas
I find it hard to be part of the city when it’s so unjust
It makes me feel like I wanna die, that’s why

I don’t drink alone
(I never drink alone)
I got a big fine mamma at home
(I just can’t get enough)
She calls me chicken bone
(My midnight tone)
And then she rolls me like a stone
(I just can’t get enough)

Bricked up in the city and the buildings are laughing
Pay check burning my pocket
Going to buy a gold chain and a locket
Makes me feel like I’m gonna lie, that’s why

I don’t drink alone
(I never drink alone)
I got a big fine mamma at home
(I just can’t get enough)
She calls me chicken bone
(My midnight tone)
And then she rolls me like a stone
(I just can’t get enough)

She sings when it’s over
When it’s over she sings
She doesn’t worry as I walk out the door
‘Cos tomorrow I’ll bring
Two small chocolates and a bottle of wine, a very nice time
All my pennies, my farthings for my mortgage that I’m under
At her place all the sorrows of the world can wait ’til tomorrow
She makes me feel like it’s all alright, that’s why

I don’t drink alone
(I never drink alone)
I got a big fine mamma at home
(I just can’t get enough)
She calls me chicken bone
(My midnight tone)
And the she rolls me like a stone
(I just can’t get enough)
I don’t drink alone
(I never drink alone)
I got a big fine mamma at home
(I just can’t get enough)
She calls me her chicken bone
(My midnight tone)
And then she rolls me like a stone
(I just can’t get enough)
Like a stone
(I just can’t get enough)
Like a stone
Like a stone
(I just can’t get enough)

Sitting in a mess still undressed
As the kettle whistle blows
Paperback novelette still open
And the door is closed

You got a real sick mind
You write a column for The Times
For all the lovers gone blind
Who are looking for a sign

And when the night is over
And the drugs are gone
All you’ve got is your four leaf clover
You keep inside your coat
And when the night is over
And the drugs are gone
You feel the world is getting colder
You got no one to hold

Six pages down and she’s lighting up
Her trainwreck soul
She was abandoned by her lover
Left by the road
So apalling, scrawling those bullshit words
It’s thirsty work
She’ll stumble down to the boozer
Just to have a flirt

You got a real sick mind
You write a column for The Times
For all the lovers gone blind
Who are looking for a sign

And when the night is over
And the drugs are gone
All you’ve got is your four leaf clover
You keep inside your coat
And when the night is over
And the drugs are gone
You feel the world is getting colder
You got no one to hold
You got no one to hold

You got a real sick mind
You got a real sick mind

And when the night is over
And the drugs are gone
All you’ve got is a four leaf clover
You keep inside your coat
And when the night is over
And the drugs are gone
You feel the world is getting colder
You got no one to hold

You got no one to hold
You got no one to hold
You got no one to hold

She stands there looking down
Now she don’t come around
High on the wire, a beautiful liar
Tesco Disco made me run
For those warm cans in the sun
Now you just order the wine and break out a line
Where did you go, sweet Caroline?
The girl I used to know

Oh, don’t you see now
What you’re supposed to do?
Yeah, you got it bad sister, the ghosts got the best of you
And, oh, don’t you notice no one’s looking out for you?
Yeah you got it bad sister, you do
I’m looking out for you

All the boys you brought back home
They’d go out and we get stoned
Just you and I
Laugh ‘til we cry
I miss playing computer games
You’d get pissed and call me names
All them coffee stains
Ingrained in my brain
Where did you go, sweet Caroline?
The girl I used to know

Oh don’t you see now
What you’re supposed to do?
Yeah, you got it bad sister
The ghosts got the best of you
And, oh, don’t you notice no one’s looking out for you
Yeah you got it bad sister, you do
I’m looking out for you

I can’t follow, I can’t follow you down
It’s your choice it’s your life it’s the bed that you lay in tonight
I don’t know him, I never did
He’s drowning your voice, he’s keeping you here
I’m no good at goodbyes
I never was it’s time to be leaving because

You don’t see now what you’re supposed to do
Yeah, you got it bad sister
The ghosts got the best of you
And oh don’t you notice no one looking out for you
Yeah, you got it bad sister you do
I‘m looking out for you
Oh, you got it bad sister, you do
There’s nothing I can do

I know I was a fool when I first met you, girl
But once I was a danger to myself
But one look at you and all that was changed, girl
I knew in my heart I’d been saved

Because I Iove to love you
You got me tied down my, honey bee
And yes, I love to love you the way that I do
You were always on my mind
So I say it one more time
I love you
I love you

Once I thought that life was just a wasteland
Friends and power were all I craved
One look at you and I was changed, girl
I know in my heart I had been saved

Because I love to love you
You got me tied down my, honey bee
And yes, I love to love you the way I do
You were always on my mind
So I say it one more time
I love you
I love you

Climbing up to your window
The ladder of life, it moves slow
Singing the melody that you taught me
The apple you gave me rotten to the core
And I don’t want your love
But I want your love
And I don’t want your love

We don’t know where we’re going
But we know we got some money saved
Yes, our hearts are exploding
But we’re riding a broken wave

Jane is waiting for
Initials for Gainsbourg
Bonnie’s at the door
And Clyde’s in the back seat
Gangsters hold up the store
With a love song
Now we’re going home
Initials for Gainsbourg
Initials for Gainsbourg
Initials for Gainsbourg

Did you see that shooting star?
And it’s still only daylight
All our dreams in the back of the car
We don’t walk between raindrops
But somehow we managed to stay alive
We both know that penny drops
But we don’t know if we will survive
And I don’t want your love
But now I want your love
And I don’t want your love

We don’t know where we’re going
But we know we got some money saved
Yes, our hearts are exploding
But we’re riding a broken wave

Jane is waiting for
Initials for Gainsbourg
Bonnie’s waiting at the door
And Clyde’s in the back seat
Gangsters hold up the store
With a love song
Now we’re going home
Initials for Gainsbourg

(Now we’re going home)
Initials for Gainsbourg
(Now we’re going home)
Initials for Gainsbourg
No one knows where we go
Initials for Gainsbourg
No one knows where we go
Initials for Gainsbourg
No one knows
Initials for Gainsbourg
(Now we’re going home)
Initials for Gainsbourg
(Initials for Gainsbourg)
(Initials for Gainsbourg)
(Initials for Gainsbourg)

Oh, Pamela, what did you do?
You touched the ground, now I’m falling in love with you
Oh, Pamela, what did they say?
I reached for your hand but you turned and walked away

Tell me what you wished to read about my main, Pamela
So annoyed but she loves her fella
One wink and a drink in the other one
At night she only wears Yves Saint Laurent
Watch black and white movies to get through
‘cos her hair is just like Marilyn
Oh, what an enigmatic woman
My touch just some through this album

Oh, Pamela, what did you do?
You touched the ground, now I’m falling in love with you
Oh, Pamela, what did they say?
I reached for your hand but you turned and walked away

Can you lend your ears for a man in trouble?
She told me up til now I see double
I asked her what her life was missing
And if she’d like to go trout mouth kissing
Said go get high with the other ones
I looked around like so, phenomenal
Oh, what an enigmatic woman
My gosh, this is so much better

Oh, Pamela, what did you do?
You touched the ground, now I’m falling in love with you
Oh, Pamela, what did they say?
I reached for your hand but you turned and walked away
Oh, Pamela, what did you do?
You touched the ground, now I’m falling in love with you
Oh, Pamela, what did they say?
I reached for your hand but you turned and walked away
You walked away

Na, na, na, na, na
Na na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Na na, na, na, na, na, na
Take it away

Oh, glad you have lemons in the morning
By noon her nurse comes calling
Limousine with the structure in the back
They strap her down, when she has a panic attack
I followed her down to the hospital
No visitors allowed on a bicycle
So I threw up sat at her window
I touched the glass so she could feel the wind blow

Oh, Pamela, what did you do?
You touched the ground, now I’m falling in love with you
Oh, Pamela, what did they say?
I reached for your hand but you turned and walked away
Oh, Pamela, what did you do?
You touched the ground, now I’m falling in love with you
Oh, Pamela, what did they say?
I reached for your hand but you turned and walked away
Walked away
Hey, you walked away
Oh, Pamela
Pamela walked away

I didn’t notice anything strange
But the picture in your picture frame
It was drawn of a fountain in your body
Bought for a fiver most probably
Didn’t mean a lot to me, a lot to me

You tell me that you’d never sell this
That the artist himself was beneath this
That life itself is within this
And I looked at the sky to worship the ground

And you never asked for nothing at all
But you asked me to close your door
And you do your best to fold me and unfold me again

Time will make fools of us all
It’s time to find meaning or control
Every time we go out now you pretend
Pretends we’re not lovers, just friends
And it gets to me, gets to me

Tell me the meaning of life is
To be happy and to give up loss
But you’ve never lost something you loved
But I turn around
How could I be angry at you?

When you never asked for nothing at all
But you asked me to close your door
And you do your best to fold me and unfold me again

And it gets to me, gets to me
Tell me the meaning of life is
To be happy and to give up loss
But you’ve never lost something you loved
But I turn around
How could I be angry at you?

When you never asked for nothing at all
But you asked me to come in from the cold
And you do your best as you fold me and unfold me again
And your never asked for nothing at all

I’ve been lost, locked up and shot
I’m never gonna let them win, never going down again
My soul, colder than stone
And the dog, chewing a bone

I, I’ve been waiting
I, I’ve been waiting
Swing Low

And I’m down, tied to the sound
Of the drum, pushing me up
Come on and show me where to go
Carry me home, Swing Low

I, I’ve been waiting
I, I’ve been waiting
Swing Low

So let’s go
You mean, we’ve got to go
I’ll follow you wherever you go
I’ll follow you wherever you want to go
Wherever you want to go

I’ve been lost, locked up and shot
I’m never gonna let them win, never going down again
Come and show me where to go
Carry me home, Swing Low

Did you come to see me fall
Did I disappoint you when I arose
Guess I thought that I could change you
But I should never listen to my own advice

Give me a chance to reconcile with you
I’ll change my plans and my designs too
The universe was always so kind to me
But I’d like to let go of the weight of the world

(Your under my radar)
Weight of the world
(Your under my radar)
Weight of the world

Making plans without you
Feels like I’m marching in the rain
Every man got his weakness
I wanna show you that I can change

Give me a chance to reconcile with you
I’ll change my plans and my designs too
The universe was so often kind to me
But I’d like to let go of the weight of the world

(Under my radar) Weight of the world
(Under my radar) Weight of the world

(Under my radar )
Just trying to get some air
(Under my radar)
Just trying to get through
You’re under my radar

I still hear you sing
Yeah
I still hear you sing
Still hear you sing

Weight of the world (Under my radar)
Weight of the world (Under my radar)
Weight of the world (Under my radar)
Weight of the world (Under my radar)
Weight of the world

Fell in love with the summer
But I’m just blowing in the wind
Fell in love with the darkness
But the truth is hanging in the night
Hanging in the night, oh-oh

We’re just having a good time, honey
No need to apply
No pressure
We’re just having a good time

Darling, you give me shelter
From the noise that drowns out the love
And I want to discover
All the things that make you come alive
All the things that make you come alive, oh-oh

We’re just having a good time, honey
No need to apply
No pressure
We’re just having a good time, honey
No need to apply
No pressure
We’re just having a good time, oh-oh

The truth is hanging in the night, oh-oh

We’re just having a good time, honey
No need to apply no pressure
We’re just having a good time, honey
No need to apply no pressure
We’re just having such a good time, oh-oh

We’re just having a good time, honey
No need to apply no pressure
We’re just having a good time, honey
No need to apply no pressure
We’re just having such a good time, oh-oh

We’re just having a good time, honey
No need to apply no pressure
We’re just having a good time, honey
No need to apply no pressure
We’re just having a good time, honey
No need to apply no pressure
We’re just having such a good time
