The Stranglers - Always The Sun (Sunny Side Up Mix) Lyrics

How many times have you woken up and prayed for the rain ?
How many times have you seen the papers apportion the blame ?
And who gets to say ? Who gets to work and who 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.
And who has the fun ? Is it always a man with a gun ?
Someone must have told him "if you work too hard you can sweat".

There's always the sun, mmmm, there's always the sun.
Always, always, always the sun.

How many times has the weatherman
Told you stories that made you laugh ?
You know it's not upto the politicians and the leaders
When they do things by half.
And who gets the job of pushing the knob ?
That's what responsibility you draw straws for if you're mad enough.

There's always the sun, sun, mmmm, there's always the sun.
Always, always, always the sun.
There's always the sun, sun, mmmm, there's always the sun.
Always, always, always the sun.

(Guitar solo)

There's always the sun, there's always the sun.
Always, always, always the sun.

Always the sun, always, always, always the sun.
Always the sun, always, always, always the sun.
There's always the sun, mmmm, there's always the sun.
Always, always, always the sun.
There's always the sun, there's always the sun.
Always, always, always the sun.
There's always the sun, mmmm, there's always the sun.
Always, always, always the sun.
There's always the sun, there's always the sun.
Always, always, always the sun.
There's always the sun, mmmm, there's always the sun.
