Can’t see the sky through the haze
Haven’t seen the sun in days
Smoke in my eyes
Is this the way it’s gonna be?
I got a son now, I got a wife
I got the features of the good life
but I’m all shook up
like a bottle top floating on the sea
Give me back my blue sky
Give me some sunshine
Give me a sign that there’s still hope
Someone shine a light through the smoke
Give me back my blue sky
Give me some sunshine
Getting tired of livin on death row
Give me back the good life I knew
one year ago
one year ago
one year ago
one year ago
on Whale Beach Road
All I see around me now are white people
with first world problems
look at all those white people
but now we got a whole world problem
needs our attention
We need to get together
Leave the suburbs
Take the bus into the centre
Join the marches, hold the signs up
Show them affluent dissenters
saying
Give me some blue sky
Give me some sunshine
Give me a sign that there’s still hope
Or a big fat bag of dope
Give me back my blue sky
Give me some sunshine
Getting tired of living on death row
Give me back the good life I knew
one year ago
one year ago
one year ago
one year ago
You can’t wait till there’s an election
To push for a change of direction
Before you open up your wallet take time for reflection
and make a careful selection
Money won’t offer you reprieve
when there’s poison in the air you breathe
Money won’t protect you from the heat
when the fire’s coming down your street
Give me back my blue sky
Give me some sunshine
Give me a sign that there’s still hope
Before people start hanging from a rope
Give me back my blue sky
Give me some sunshine
Getting tired of living on death row
Give me back the good life I knew
one year ago
one year ago
one year ago
one year ago
on Whale Beach Road
Give me back my blue sky
Give me some sunshine
One year ago
One year ago

Lady Sunlight

Day is dawning
I turn the light off
close my eyes now
I’m a write-off
Hallucinations running round my brain
Then on the carpet
I hear the sound of
Soft footsteps
Becoming louder
I open up my tired eyes again
I see her standing there
And there’s sunlight everywhere
My lady so fair
with the sunlight in her hair
I see her standing there
with the sunlight in her hair
with the sunlight in her hair
Lady Sunlight
Lady Sunlight
In the soft light
she’s swaying
eyes closed like
she’s praying
she feels the music deep inside her soul
(She feels the music in her soul)
Suite Judy Blue eyes
on rotation
I’m in tune with
her vibration
two refugees in love with rock and roll
(In love with rock and roll)
our apartment’s so bare
but there’s sunshine everywhere
My lady so fair
with the sunlight in her hair
I see her standing there
with the sunlight in her hair
with the sunlight in her hair
Lady sunlight
Lady sunlight
She smiles and takes my hand
she’s my lady, I’m her man
Lady sunlight
Lady sunlight
Years fly by
music changes
good friends turn
into strangers
The kids grow up
and suddenly you’re old
the body breaks down
you try to fix it
but in the end there’s
no elixir
and there’s just one last story to be told
but I know she’s standing there
I can feel it in the air
yeah
there’s sunshine everywhere
My lady so fair
with the sunlight in her hair
I see her standing there
with the sunlight in her hair
Lady sunlight
I see her standing there
Lady sunlight
With the sunlight in her hair
Lady sunlight
Lady sunlight
Lady sunlight
Lady sunlight
Lady sunlight
