He Likes the Sun - Tanita Tikaram

Some say the world goes crazy

It’s summertime

I say I’m feeling lazy

Hammocks in mind

And I can’t change a thing

So I won’t stay around

If you can feel so hot

Why don’t you feel for me?

If you can feel so much

Why don’t you let it out

And let me be alone again?

I keep watch, that’s alright

'Cos it comes in this real night

He likes the sun

See the cornered clown

He likes the sun

Let us waste this town

And when it rains

You feel the click in this heart

And that’s when the pain in mine will start

And that’s when the pain in mine will start

I’m used to growing older

And feeling down inside

But yes, I know, well someone told

You should have seen him cry

Well that’s not my life

I’m tired of chip inside and playing bronze for cool

Y’know that sometimes light

And sometimes you can just be that fool

Who can really say?

If I’m cross --- it’s a joke

If I’m lost --- let it go up in smoke

He likes the sun

See the cornered clown

He likes the sun

Let us waste this town

And when it rains

You feel the click in this heart

And that’s when the pain in mine will start

And that’s when the pain in mine will start

Jump right out of your grass colours

And make like you were easy prey

And cheer us solemn of a possible

Is it possible?

I could really play, could really play

All these things I say

Though nnot torn inside, though not torn

You just lie, lie low --- lie low for me

I’m not in deeper waters --- where everyone will claim

We used to know the daughter --- throw it away it’s not such a shame

If you’re feeling blue

And I like icy looks and great command

He likes the way I’m true

But I know inside

This is a real life sham --- but that’s okay

And this song can’t be sued

I assume --- you get up and renew yourself

He likes the sun

See the cornered clown

He likes the sun

Let us waste this town

And when it rains

You feel the click in this heart

And that’s when the pain in mine will start

And that’s when the pain in mine will start
