Shine Over Me Lyrics
There was a man around the corner
Well I know his son and I stole his daughter
I'd see him as I was driving past
He was always working on, and working on, and working on
An older man but not so old
Well he's lying in the ground now dead and cold
And what's so hard is we're all confined
By the laws of something that's more divine
Anywhere and anyone
Any time or any reason
Everywhere and everyone
Has something going on
Any time the sun don't shine
You're left behind or out of season
Constant changes moving on
Shine over me
So I lost my sense of humour
Well I hope it's gonna find me sometime soon
Those times when you cannot be prepared
They suck the life right out of you
And all you ask is to continue
But it leaves you spinning round and round
You don't need that pain within you
You gotta wash it out, wash it out and kick it down
Anywhere and anyone
Any time or any reason
Everywhere and everyone
Has something going on
Any time the sun don't shine
You're left behind or out of season
Constant changes moving on
Shine over me
Well everywhere and everyone
Has many types of different reasons
Any time it all goes wrong
Just shine over me
Any time the sun don't shine
You're left behind or out of season
Constant changes moving on
Shine over me
Anywhere, anyone
Any time you care to mention
Any time it all goes wrong
Just shine over me
Any time the sun don't shine
Or heartache and the pain take over
Just stick around
And shine over me
Shine, shine over me
Well I know his son and I stole his daughter
I'd see him as I was driving past
He was always working on, and working on, and working on
Well he's lying in the ground now dead and cold
And what's so hard is we're all confined
By the laws of something that's more divine
Any time or any reason
Everywhere and everyone
Has something going on
Any time the sun don't shine
You're left behind or out of season
Constant changes moving on
Shine over me
Well I hope it's gonna find me sometime soon
Those times when you cannot be prepared
They suck the life right out of you
But it leaves you spinning round and round
You don't need that pain within you
You gotta wash it out, wash it out and kick it down
Any time or any reason
Everywhere and everyone
Has something going on
Any time the sun don't shine
You're left behind or out of season
Constant changes moving on
Shine over me
Has many types of different reasons
Any time it all goes wrong
Just shine over me
Any time the sun don't shine
You're left behind or out of season
Constant changes moving on
Shine over me
Any time you care to mention
Any time it all goes wrong
Just shine over me
Any time the sun don't shine
Or heartache and the pain take over
Just stick around
And shine over me

In the words of Dave Gleeson, this is a song "about mates, and being loyal, and staying true, and sticking by the people who you believe in." Great song too.
Great Aussie song to listen to at the pub, almost like Khe Sanh or Run to Paradise in some ways.
