Always The Sun - the stranglers

Always The Sun - the stranglers

How many times have you woken up and prayed for the rain?
how many times have you seen the papers apportion the blame?
who gets to say, who gets the work and gets to play?
i was always told at school, everybody should get the same
how many times have you been told, if you don't ask you don't get?
how many liars have taken your money, your mother said you shouldn't
bet?
who has the fun, is it always the man with the gun?
someone must have told him, if you work too hard you can sweat
There's always the sun
there's always the sun
always, always, always the sun

How many times have the weathermen told you stories that made you laugh?
y'know it's not unlike the politician and the leaders when they do
things by half
who gets the job, of pushing the knob
that sort of responsibility you draw straws for, if you're mad enough
There's always the sun
there's always the sun
always, always, always the sun

Golden Brown - the stranglers

Golden Brown - the stranglers
Golden brown texture like sun lays me down with my mind she runs throughout the night no need to fight never a frown with golden brown Every time just like the last on her ship tied to the mast to distant lands takes both my hands never a frown with golden brown Golden brown finer temptress through the ages she's heading west from far away stays for a day never a frown with golden brown Never a frown with golden brown never a frown with golden brown

Midnight summer dream - THE STRANGLERS

Midnight summer dream - THE STRANGLERS

❤ Midnight Summer Dream ❤
Woke up on a good day
And the world was wonderful
A midnight summer dream had me in its spell
I dreamt about an old man
Sat and watched the rain all night
He couldn't sleep a wink as all the drops fell

He told me of the beauty
Hidden in our foreheads
He told me of the ugliness
We show instead

And when we put a foot wrong do we learn
From all the pain
A midnight summer dream as he watched the rain

Then at midnight he poured another drink
And bent my ear
After midnight we sat up half the night
Or maybe more
And he began to tell me what it was all for

I woke up in an armchair
He had gone I don't know where
Left me there to sit and look at the rain

Don't remember much at all
But his words were echoing
A midnight summer dream and then wake again

Maybe I'll never find him
Maybe he's gone forever
Maybe I'll have to sit here
Watching the weather

One thing's pretty certain helped me
Make it in the night
Showed me somewhere else between wrong and right

And at midnight if you can't sleep
Then I can bend your ear
After midnight we'll sit up half the night
Or maybe more
And I'll begin to tell you what it is all for

Wake up on a good day
And the world feels wonderful
Midnight summer dream has me in its spell
