"Sunny Side Up" lyrics

"Sunny Side Up"

You can wake up in the morning
With a bright smile on your face
Or slam that front door shut
And complain about your race
You can walk straight out the house
And you are either happy or
Sunny side is facing up
Or pancake spilt on floor

I leave my house each morning
And I always say hello
To the seagulls high up in the sky
And the ants and the worms
The mole and the fox
And the rabbit down below

Sunny side up
Burn the Express and the Mail
The key to real democracy
Throw the Eton mob in jail
In the 70's and the 80's
We were living side by side
Now the neighbourhood is either scared
Or full on radicalised
Sunny side up
Burn the Telegraph and The Sun
Ooh, Telegraph and The Sun

And folk like that won't take a chance
And gaze at family tree
In case it tells a tale of someone
They'd not rather be
The thing that threatens everything
Ain't the colour of your skin
It's the fact that we're a melting pot
And the truth is you can't swim

And sunny side up you see
Is what will see us through
We'll wave a wave to postman
The Milkman nods
The binman waves
And the paperboy waves too

Sunny side up
Burn the Express and the Mail
The only real democracy
Sees the Eton mob in jail
In the 60's, 70's, 80's
We were living side by side
Now the neighbourhood is either scared
Or full on radicalised
Sunny side up
Burn the Telegraph and The Sun
Ooh, Telegraph and The Sun

Yeah, sunny side, sunny side, sunny side up
Sunny side, sunny side, sunny side up
Oh, sunny side, sunny side, sunny side up
Yeah, it's a sunny side, sunny side, sunny side up
