VERSE 1:
  • Dust of people I’ve known, all the cities I’ve seen
  • Doze ten minutes, then alarm sounds
  • Up windows thrown open, select CD stereo loaded
  • Make lists doable, I plan the order the ticks go in
  • Suck sun stream solar power stretch bust press-ups
  • Until my ticker kicks blood flowing
  • Eyes red, the strain of the past days
  • Wash proper, dress, kitchen for fresh fruit breakfast
  • Tea, fag, freshen them dentures
  • Gum stills receding from old time hedonism
  • Mind stays bright through the spring weathers
  • Still I step careful, wary of cold corners
  • Pleased for each day that the suns still with us
  • Force chin higher than the norm is
  • Staunch, ‘cause my wristwatch ticks to some Bill Withers
  • You know the tune
  • Ain’t no sunshine, if you don’t go find it
  • I cruise through the routines that’s useful to me
  • Keep mind occupied, stay shiningChorus:
  • Yeah she’s gone but the sun’s up
  • I press on keep mum, stay shining
  • Not a lot of fun, can’t hide it
  • I wade through the day with a brain full of Brighton
  • Shining
VERSE 2:
  • Yeah I’m broke again, empty pockets
  • Coppers scraped spent not on charity boxes
  • Yeah I root through bins with the badgers and foxes
  • And it’s still just receipts in the wallet
  • But I still spark ideas like lead to the socket
  • Put practice in, to my rap and my writing
  • But not making cash from my writing
  • This ain’t a business mind, give a shit about a finish-line
  • I got a plan hatched up until dinner time
  • After that, well I’m in tonight, sit and write
  • Keep the brain stray minimised
  • Finish more chipper hit the mic like give me five
  • Yeah, then what?
  • Well progress is creeping, traffic jam, dead lock
  • Cul-de-sac five point turn burn wheel spin
  • Stuck to the rear view
  • Wondering what the fuck it is tears do
  • Get productive, dust off the dirt shell
  • Wash face, shake burnt smell
  • Yeah I’m slipping through the worst spell
  • But my text tone rings like a church bell

CHORUS

VERSE 3:
  • Clipped wing fingertip tap text
  • No tickertape for my chest to break through
  • Select name, choose reconsider
  • Better make do with cigarettes
  • I draw hard when I’m more stressed
  • So my lungs suffer
  • Wake wheezing and grubby covers
  • Cough a protest of lung butter, tough day weighing off my eye bags
  • Smile lapse snap right back after one cuppa
  • I’m not a tall chap, but from my fourth floor flat room the view’s good
  • From desk look through glass over rooftop to trees
  • Feel breeze, see sky, push walls back
  • Park walk when I’m cabin flushed
  • I find new ground scratched out of the map I loved
  • Fill days, fill calendars
  • But shy away from the clicks of your cameras
  • Regret steams off a cold morning
  • I flap about angry like how should I act now?
  • Pen nib pressed out down
  • Wrestle that pensive state til it’s tapped out

CHORUS
