Sunny Lyrics - Cradle To The Grave - Squeeze

I rode my bike along the towpath 

Past all the cranes that bow their heads 

Down by the river to the gas works 

Where I would meet up with my friends 

We'd mess around and play all summer 

Around our flats and on the streets 

In days that seemed to last forever 

And nights beneath my nylon sheets 

I was young and naive 

And drifted around 

But I followed my dreams 

With music I found life Sunny 

My growing up would not be easy 

Going for long walks on the heath 

Trying to play like Jimi Hendrix 

Behind my back and with my teeth 

I went to festivals and dropped out 

That's when I learned that I could fly 

Sitting around an open fire 

Watching the world go floating by 

With my ear to the ground 

The future took ages 

When it finally arrived 

The world we created was Sunny 

My mother watched me changing 

From a boy into a man 

With spots and moods and temper tantrums, 

short attention span 

It didn't seem to matter 

It made me who I am 

I got a job down at the warehouse 

I worked hard to pay the rent 

Rehearsing almost every evening 

Trying to make another dent 

Along the road that I had chosen 

The generation game of life 

Today I'm walking by the river 

Watching my children cycle by 

We came up through the pubs 

That heaved with our friends 

Now it's coffee in mugs 

While out on the Thames it's Sunny
