Sunshine Lyrics
On the lawn before the bouquet fell
Long before we hear the ringing bell
When all I want is a good look at your underside
Reading trash like it was Judy Blume
Your paperbacks are strewn about the room
Awaiting their instructions to be mobilized
And everybody knows how it shakes and how it glows
Everybody knows and so it goes
That everybody wants their shoes in the sunshine now
Lazy Rayna had a million bucks
Changed into pennies on a hundred trucks
Because linen’s legal tender for a layabout
Why hold your breath until your face turns blue?
A stretch of rope, you know, can do that too
The truth be told, no one likes a gadabout
And everybody knows how it shakes and how it glows
Everybody knows and so it goes
That everybody wants their shoes in the sunshine now
Everybody wants their shoes in the sunshine now
Long before we hear the ringing bell
When all I want is a good look at your underside
Reading trash like it was Judy Blume
Your paperbacks are strewn about the room
Awaiting their instructions to be mobilized
Everybody knows and so it goes
That everybody wants their shoes in the sunshine now
Changed into pennies on a hundred trucks
Because linen’s legal tender for a layabout
Why hold your breath until your face turns blue?
A stretch of rope, you know, can do that too
The truth be told, no one likes a gadabout
Everybody knows and so it goes
That everybody wants their shoes in the sunshine now
Everybody wants their shoes in the sunshine now

Awesome! Now, all we need is "Everything I Try To Do, Nothing Seems To Turn Out Right". I think the Billy Liar 7" was the best four bucks I've ever spent. Even if you have Her Majesty, the two unreleased songs are entirely worth it.
yeah, billy liar 7s a great album. this songs so happy!
where you have "trash" it should be "Tress", I think anyway.
I don't get the meaning of the song at all. But I like it though :)
On the lawn before the bouquet fell Long before we hear the ringing bell
talking about a wedding, i'd presume
When all I want is a good look at your underside
a sexual comment
Reading trash like it was Judy Blume Your paperbacks are strewn about the room Awaiting their instructions to be mobilized
the person likes crappy books
And everybody knows how it shakes and how it glows Everybody knows and so it goes That everybody wants their shoes in the sunshine now

Lazy Rayna had a million bucks Changed into pennies on a hundred trucks Because linen�s legal tender for a layabout Why hold your breath until your face turns blue? A stretch of rope, you know, can do that too The truth be told, no one likes a gadabout
talking about a trucker's killing a prostitute? and also about how she doesn't know what she wants to be
And everybody knows how it shakes and how it glows Everybody knows and so it goes That everybody wants their shoes in the sunshine now Everybody wants their shoes in the sunshine now
