Nothing But Sunshine Lyrics - Lucy Ford - Atmosphere

(Slug) 

(Mixed vocals) 

Whatta you mean what was my childhood like? 

What difference does that make? 

Yo, my childhood was messed up, so what? 

Everybody's childhood was messed up. 

This is the 90's, find me one person who had it right. 

What's that got to do with me rhyming? 

What's left?

(Slug) 

Now when my mother died I had to take it in stride 

There ain't no room for pride in watching your father cry 

And dad made it until maybe a year later 

When they found his suicide inside of a grain elevator 

Got over it, I had no other offers or options 

Thought about whether or not mom and pop was watching 

Never bothered with caution, no time for fear 

Saw my folks carry fear for most my early years 

And I learned from it, turned numb and ignored the storm 

A burning sun waiting for the world to plummet 

Finished growing up under my uncle's roof 

He taught me how to count all the way up to 100 proof 

From watching him I learned how to gather nourishment 

Living off the different women that he had to nurture him 

And on the surface I became a normal pre-teen 

More afraid of nuclear war than snake bites and bee stings 

My best friend was my TV 

Game shows and cartoons substituted for puppies, rainbows, and balloons 

Now here I am, the shy type, and I think I'm doing alright 

Considering what it was like living my life

Chorus (repeated) 

It's nothing but sunshine 

It's all sunshine 

It's nothing but sunshine 

(Slug) 

Now it's been 17 summers since I've seen my mother 

But every night I see her smile inside my dreams 

When I was younger I didn't actually see the accident happen 

But every night I see her smile as it shatters against the screams 

I can only imagine Dad's internal reaction 

Strain, inferno burning, bound in his brain 

What's it take to make a man who owns acres of land 

Abandon the family plan and drown himself in his grains 

I'm glad I left that farm in Northern Minnesota 

Where the time moves slower and the winters are colder 

Became a city boy, where everybody acts like they older 

Where they stick to themselves and keep a chip on they shoulder 

26 years of age, no longer full of rage 

I think it's safe to say I've turned a page on my childhood days 

"Ay yo look Ma, I'm a productive member of society 

When I'm drunk I make noise, but otherwise I live quietly" 

And on the weekend I go back up north to reminisce 

Remember what it was like pretending to be a kid 

Late at night I walked the fields and lurk in the shadows 

Getting even with life by murdering cattle 

Cow Skit 

Chorus (repeated) 

It's all sunshine 

It's nothing but sunshine 

It's all sunshine 

(And I'm gonna be alright, and you gonna be alright, 

You ain't gotta hold my hand, just walk with me tonight) 

Fade out 

(What it is, it ain't, 

and what it ain't it is, 

is a theme of a Virgo)
