SUNDAY

Heavy night

It was a heavy night

Feels like

We've come back from the dead

Heavy night

It was a heavy night

I cannot remember what I said

(To anyone)

 

If we get up now

We can catch the afternoon

Watch the under-fifteens

Playing football in the park

Let's sleep in St. Leonard's

On this alcoholic day

We're doing the best

With what we've got

 

I love you in the morning

When you're still hung-over

I love you in the morning

When you're still strung out

 

I love you in the morning

 

I work hard all week

And so do you

We deserve to let off some steam

Less orthodox creeping

We need to rage through this life

 

There might be ones

Who are smarter than you

That have the right answers

That wear better shoes

Forget about those melting icecaps

We're doing the best

With what we've got

 

I love you in the morning

When you're still hung-over

I love you in the morning

When you're still strung out

 

When I'm with you

I am calm

A pearl in your oyster

Head on my chest

A silent smile

A private kind of happiness

 

You see

Giant proclamations

Are all very well

But our love

Is louder than words

 

When I'm with you

I am calm

A pearl in your oyster

Head on my chest

A silent smile

A private kind of happiness

(I love you in the morning)

 

When I'm with you

I am calm

A pearl in your oyster

Head on my chest

A silent smile

A private kind of happiness

(I love you in the morning)

 

I love you in the morning

I love you in the morning

I love you in the morning

I love you in the morning
