Sunday morning, got the hazy, hazy janes,I turn to you and inhale where you lay.Took a wander through the garden,To await the long, long day,And then roll for a while on a violet flowerbed. Oh, you kiss my lips again and again and again,And then again, again We would watch the sun coming up easy,While the rain came tumbling down,And it would wash our bodies so cleanlyThat we would seem to rise up off of the cold, cold groundIt's a shame the way it seems to go But now my best friend, my partner in crimeI'm afraid it looks as though we're gonna have to go our separate ways,Oh, See, the thing is, I love you.I love you but you see, I resent you all the same.All my other friends say you're just slowing me down. Oh, but I should have known you'd turn to me and say,Before you through too much of me awayDon't you remember watching the sun coming up easyWhile the rain came tumbling down?And it washes our bodies so cleanly,We just seem to rise up off of the cold, cold ground.I see the sun coming up easy,while the rain came tumbling down.And it washed our bodies so cleanThat we seemed to rise up off of the cold, cold ground It was in love I was created and in love is how I hope I die.Yeah it was in love I was created and in love is how I hope I die (repeat) We watched the sun coming up easy (repeat)

Sitting beside you in schoolWhile we'd paint I'd make you laughMine was never very goodYours looked exactly like the photographLooks like I'm growing, I'm growing up beside you I don't always get the way you feelBut now I've learned to live with thatIt's like I'm a part of something realI was hitting the bottle, now I've broke the sealLooks like I'm growing, I'm growing up beside you Chorus:And the sun sets the sceneWhile the rain misses meAnd all the time I'll be growing, growing up beside you

I was perched outside in the pouring rainTrying to make myself a sailThen I'll float to you my darlin'With the evening on my tailAlthough not the most honest means of travelIt gets me there nonethelessI'm a heartless man at worst, babeAnd a helpless one at best Darling I'll bathe your skinI'll even wash your clothesJust give me some candy, before I goOh, darling I'll kiss your eyesAnd lay you down on your rugJust give me some candyAfter my heart Oh I'm often false explainingBut to her it plays out all the sameand although I'm left defeatedIt get's held against my nameI know you got plenty to offer babyBut I guess I've taken quite enoughWell I'm some stain there on your bedsheetYou're my diamond in the rough Darling I'll bathe your skinI'll even wash your clothesJust give me some candybefore I goOh, darling I'll kiss your eyesAnd lay you down on your rugJust give me some candyAfter my heart I know that there´re writings on the wallBut Darling I'll bathe your skinI'll even wash your clothesJust give me some candyAfter my heart Oh I'll be there waiting for you (repeat)

Was it love or recognition that has healed this man's condition?Oh I'm hoping and wishing that this bird won't fly away.And we can see life hand in handthe green, the blue, the rock, the sandand in our time and in our land, we'll savour every day. And oh how our glory may fadeFade, well at least we've learned some things along the way. Oh you took me from my bubble knowing my defense was weak. And you sat there and you listened anytime I chose to speak. Did you gather from my pleas to you that I am but a clown,And I fear only a hero can defeat these demons now. Oh how our glory may fadeFade, well at least we've learned some tricks of the trade. And as time shall inevitably move on.Well at least we'll have four strong legs to stand on - to keep us alive

Sweet little Rosie, my softest machine,Bounces with me on my big trampoline.Childish and silly we're part of a team,Me and my Rose on my big trampoline. I was a shadow,I'd smoke and I'd sleep.'till you came and I opened like a flower to the heat.And now Rosie she tells me of things that she's seen,With flowers in her hair on my big trampoline.

Then you'll get a lot more doneBe more inclined to take the reinsThan turn away and runIt's very rare it seems to get a lifetime guarantee,So I suppose self satisfaction be the keyMy father is a wealthy, self made manBut his wealth does not consist of riches or acres of landInstead he has a family who areHis biggest fansThat's something that I one day hope to haveSo I'll cherish the simple thingsThe easy took for granted thingsLike going round my Mum's house for my teaAnd argue with my sister,Only God knows how I missed herIt's the simple things that mean the most to me Argh, he gets up each day at fiveStarts the car and makes the driveShutters up, starts the fryersServes out food to all the buyers in the townAs they stand there in the same old lineGet there every day at the same old timeNo, you never hear him grumble and groanCause they're the people in the line that he built it onAnd like me he cherished the simple thingsThe easy took for granted thingsLike going round his Mum's house for my teaAnd argue with his sister,Only God knows how he missed herIt's the simple things tha mean the most to... him
