Send Out For Sunshine

(album: Central Heating - 1977)

Taxman came to call
He wants to take my TV
Folks on down the hall
Keep making faces at me

So many bills to pay
I need a holiday

Shoes ran out of gas
I got a hole in my sole
Bread ain't gonna last
Living off coffee and rolls

It's getting kind of thin (Ain't it just a sin?)
But I'll keep hanging in (Keeping up my chin)

So I'll send out for sunshine (Get that glow)
Put a smile on my face, spread it around the place
Send out for sunshine (Let it flow)
Get that good ol' sun on the case
Send out for sunshine (Get that glow)
Let that warm sunny day, chase the clouds away
Send out for sunshine (Let it flow)
Ask that good ol' sun round to stay

Payments overdue
So all my welfare just went
Gone and caught the flu
And now the man wants the rent

Friends seem to stay the same
(Friends all staying the same, y'all)
We've gotta make it change
(Got to make it change, y'all)

So I'll send out for sunshine (Get that glow)
Put a smile on my face, spread it around the place (Send out for the sun)
Send out for sunshine (Let it flow)
Get that good ol' sun on the case
Send out for sunshine (Get that glow)
Let that warm sunny day, chase the clouds away (Send out for the sun)
Send out for sunshine (Let it flow)
Ask that good ol' sun round to stay, ayy, hey

Send out for sunshine
Put a smile on my face, spread it 'round the place
Send out for sunshine
Get my old friend sun on the case
Send out for sunshine
Let that warm sunny day, chase the clouds away
Send out for sunshine
Ask that good ol' sun round to stay
So as I send out for sunshine
Put a smile on my face, spread it 'round the place
Send out for sunshine
Get my old friend sun on the case
Send out for sunshine
Let that warm sunny day, chase the clouds away
Send out for sunshine
Ask that good ol' sun round to stay
So as I send out for sunshine
Put a smile on my face, spread it 'round the place
Send out for sunshine
