Coming Up Easy Lyrics

Sunday morning, got the hazy, hazy janes,
I turn to you and inhale where you lay.
Took a wander through the garden,
To await the long, long day,
And then roll for a while on a violet flowerbed.

Oh, you kiss my lips again and again and again,
And then again, again

We would watch the sun coming up easy,
While the rain came tumbling down,
And it would wash our bodies so cleanly
That we would seem to rise up off of the cold, cold ground
It’s a shame the way it seems to go

But now my best friend, my partner in crime
I’m afraid it looks as though we’re gonna have to go our separate ways,
Oh, See, the thing is, I love you.
I love you but you see, I resent you all the same.
All my other friends say you’re just slowing me down.

Oh, but I should have known you’d turn to me and say,
Before you through too much of me away
Don’t you remember watching the sun coming up easy
While the rain came tumbling down?
And it washes our bodies so cleanly,
We just seem to rise up off of the cold, cold ground.
I see the sun coming up easy,
while the rain came tumbling down.
And it washed our bodies so clean
That we seemed to rise up off of the cold, cold ground

It was in love I was created and in love is how I hope I die.
Yeah it was in love I was created and in love is how I hope I die (repeated)

We watched the sun coming up easy (repeated)

The song is clearly about weed addiction, for anyone who isnt sure, here's my view.

Sunday morning, got the hazy, hazy JANES -"Janes are a term used for being high on weed, in this case, Hazy Janes most likely refers to the morning after he was high on Saturday night"

I turn to you and inhale you where you lay.

  • "The spliff is still smoking on the bedside table or something"

Took a wander through the garden,

To await the long, long day,

And then roll for a while on a violet flowerbed.

Oh, you kiss my lips again and again and again, -"He cannot stop smoking the joint, 'you' refers to the weed, it is literally kissing his lips"

And then again, again -"Once again, he cannot stop"

We would watch the sun coming up easy, -"He hallucinates joyous things, hence the line below"

While the rain came tumbling down, -"There is no sun 'coming up easy!'"

And it would wash our bodies so cleanly

That we would seem to rise up off of the cold, cold ground -"Another hallucination from the effects of weed"

It's a shame the way it seems to go

But now my best friend, my partner in crime -"His addiction makes him reluctantly conjoined to weed, hence becoming his 'best' friend"

I'm afraid it looks as though we're gonna have to go our separate ways, -"He has decided that he must fight his addiction"

Oh, See, the thing is, I love you. -"He is addicted to weed"

I love you but you see, I resent you all the same. -"But he is aware of the damage it is doing, and it trying to fight it"

All my other friends say you're just slowing me down. -"His friends try to persuade him to stop smoking it, as weed does indeed slow the brain down!"

Oh, but I should have known you'd turn to me and say, -"He will have withdrawal symptoms from giving it up."

Before you throw too much of me away

Don't you remember watching the sun coming up easy -"Remember all the good times you had from weed"

While the rain came tumbling down?

And it washes our bodies so cleanly,

We just seem to rise up off of the cold, cold ground.

I see the sun coming up easy,

while the rain came tumbling down.

And it washed our bodies so clean

That we seemed to rise up off of the cold, cold ground

It was in love I was created and in love is how I hope I die. -"He doesnt want to further damage his body from intoxication"

Yeah it was in love I was created and in love is how I hope I die (repeated)

We watched the sun coming up easy (repeated)

There you are!!

Enough evidence to suggest the song is about his weed addiction!!!

"It was in love I was created and in love is how I hope I die."

it is actually "janes" not jeans, as mary jane (marihuana- maria juana)

any review of sunny side up will tell u this song is about his issues with weed.

and the new music video reinforces that... he's running around town with a white rabbit and getting into trouble

Harvey, google it, it will be a very nice surprise :p

'Coming Up' is a term used for when MDMA/Ecstasy is starting to take affect, so I'm guessing that the song is about MDMA/Ecstasy but has links to Weed because it is normally the gateway towards other drugs like MDMA

Wow! Is this guy incredible or what! This song is about loving Weed. That's makes it better. Such genius. For what its worth, I'm a 64 year old who finds himself falling in love with music the way I did back in the sixties listening to this guy. Fantastic!

Cover art for Coming Up Easy lyrics by Paolo Nutini

This song means more to me each time I hear it. At first I thought it just another really good love song. But now that I see it as having to do with Marijuana, I'm really impressed. This guy can write what he feels and he can feel. I can only stop listening to it enough to listen to " last Request" Wow! I'm from the sixties and in my sixties...And I stopped listening to new artist with REM...But this guy has hit all the right spots. I'm back Baby! I'm back! Thanks to Paolo, I'm back and loving it!
