"Sunshine On Catford" lyrics
Kae Tempest Lyrics
You, you, you, you, you
And further more, you
And another thing, you
I can't believe the sound of my laughter when you're in front of me
I can't believe the peace I feel in your company
When did it happen?
Happiness
I thought I knew love but I never knew this
You never break my spirits down
Never make me feel ashamed
You always praise my efforts
Raise my energy
Make an effort to know my friends
I was so lonely for you before we met
But sitting on the bus with the rain on the windows
And your head on my shoulder
You, you, you, you, you
And furthermore me
And another thing, us
You teach me so much
Every day that I wake to the smile on your face
And the feel of your touch
I never knew
How little I knew until I met you
I never knew
How perfect things were, until I was perfect for you
I never knew
How little I knew until I met you
I never knew
How perfect I was, until I was perfect for you
It used to be
I wore my sadness like a heavy coat
Soaked through
It kept me apart from the world
And it was always too tight at my throat
Loneliness
It rained and rained
Until I felt your reaching hand
That's when the sun came out and it shone on us
Like the whole thing had been planned
It's not all roses no, we got more thorns than most for sure
But you've given me things I never knew I never had before
Thank you, I say to the starlings in the supermarket carpark
Thank you, I say to your empty glass when I hand it back to the bar staff
I never knew it
But I never knew I didn't know it
And now I know it, there's no way back
So let's you, you, you and I
Do this till we die
And love each other till we collapse
I never knew
How little I knew until I met you
I never knew
How perfect things were, until I was perfect for you
I never knew
How little I knew until I met you
I never knew
How perfect I was, until I was perfect for you
You, you, you, you
Sunshine on Catford
You, you, you, you
And further more, you
And another thing, you
I can't believe the sound of my laughter when you're in front of me
I can't believe the peace I feel in your company
When did it happen?
Happiness
I thought I knew love but I never knew this
You never break my spirits down
Never make me feel ashamed
You always praise my efforts
Raise my energy
Make an effort to know my friends
I was so lonely for you before we met
But sitting on the bus with the rain on the windows
And your head on my shoulder
You, you, you, you, you
And furthermore me
And another thing, us
You teach me so much
Every day that I wake to the smile on your face
And the feel of your touch
I never knew
How little I knew until I met you
I never knew
How perfect things were, until I was perfect for you
I never knew
How little I knew until I met you
I never knew
How perfect I was, until I was perfect for you
It used to be
I wore my sadness like a heavy coat
Soaked through
It kept me apart from the world
And it was always too tight at my throat
Loneliness
It rained and rained
Until I felt your reaching hand
That's when the sun came out and it shone on us
Like the whole thing had been planned
It's not all roses no, we got more thorns than most for sure
But you've given me things I never knew I never had before
Thank you, I say to the starlings in the supermarket carpark
Thank you, I say to your empty glass when I hand it back to the bar staff

But I never knew I didn't know it
And now I know it, there's no way back
So let's you, you, you and I
Do this till we die
And love each other till we collapse
I never knew
How little I knew until I met you
I never knew
How perfect things were, until I was perfect for you
I never knew
How little I knew until I met you
I never knew
How perfect I was, until I was perfect for you
You, you, you, you
Sunshine on Catford
You, you, you, you
