Sunshine

(album: Close To Home - 2022)

I've been waiting for
Yeah I've been waiting for sunshine
Instead of being stuck on the front line
Feel like I've been here enough times
I've been waiting for
A little piece of the sunshine
Instead of being stuck on the front line
Feel like I've been here enough times
I've been waiting for

Yeah I've been waiting for sunshine
Instead of being stuck on the front line
Feel like I've been here enough times
I've been waiting for
A little piece of the sunshine
Instead of being stuck on the front line
Feel like I've been here enough times
I've been waiting for

Waiting on the day I make the great escape
Until then I'm still stuck up on the same estate
Pour a glass I light a spliff to take the pain away
I'm from a place where you're lucky if it don't rain today
Three man sharing on a cig
Didn't have a motor my Carerra was my whip
Made certain decisions I was careless as a kid
And I'd be lying if I say it doesn't tear me up a bit

Full of cunch lines
Gun signs
Cut ties
Goodbyes
Sometimes good times
More time fuckeries
Bird says she hates me
More like she love sick
Shirt full of gravy
Came up a scruff kid
Work doesn't pay me
Enough to get fucked with
Tryna link Sadie
And **** in the bushes
Half the hoods shady
Look but don't touch it
Grew up in the gutters
But we love it so fuck it
Yeah

Yeah I've been waiting for sunshine
Instead of being stuck on the front line
Feel like I've been here enough times
I've been waiting for
A little piece of the sunshine
Instead of being stuck on the front line
Feel like I've been here enough times
I've been waiting for

Yeah
A little gaff by the seaside
Never left Manny I was trapped in the beehive
Grew up on fish chips sandwich and meat pies
Save a couple quid and go n grab me a 3.5
Anything for a cheap night
Drink till I fall pray to God that I revive
I'm from up North I was born on a deep side
You think that your city seen it all you ain't seen mine
Throw it back let me rewind
Never got my grades told mumsy I'll be fine
Set my head straight
Had some focus on me time
We only got one life
And I'm tryna keep mine

But fuck it I ain't stressing
I'll just play it by ear
Love the ends up the ends
Same way I can't trust the ends
But home is where the heart is
So I'm staying right here

Yeah I've been waiting for sunshine
Instead of being stuck on the front line
Feel like I've been here enough times
I've been waiting for
A little piece of the sunshine
Instead of being stuck on the front line
Feel like I've been here enough times
I've been waiting

Fuck it, open it now
Manchester make some noise
One, two
One, two, three go
