what a sunny day it is today, I must admit I miss the rain.
cause I'm the kinda guy who never really cared but now
I still live with my mum it's been too many years too long.
So I wrote this little song, to tell you where it all went wrong.
See Marley moved up North, I guess he finally found his love,
Sean an Jo broke up and breaking up is never fun.
Kez is smashing Brighton ends I haven't seen her for days,
so long live jack pavitt, he's always stayed the same.
Oh little darling I wish I could stay, I need your love much more than I say,
don't you know it's you who makes the sun shine.
what a sunny day it is today, I must admit I miss the rain.
coz I'm the kinda guy who never really cared an yeah
I've been here far too long, I've seen so many friends move on,
If you're listening Rose hill, I swear one day I will be gone.
This is a story about a little town I live in,
where kids have no jobs and they have no dreams,
I walk down the street, happy to just be living,
I've got shoes on my feet, an a heart that's still beating.
I can't stop thinking over my life, I was 12 now I'm 25.
We were hanging at some weird place in Wales,
I said you can't make nights like these,
Smith was wasted offering out roast dinners,
I said you're funny man you can't even see.
So calm it down, there's plenty more coming around,
If it rains outside, we can stay here til we get dry.
