Example - Who Needs Sunshine? Lyrics






Who needs sunshine? Things are fine
Strangers smiling, train's on time
Who needs sunshine? All the time
Smoking's banned, no more crime
Who needs sunshine? Things are fine
Strangers smiling, train's on time
Who needs sunshine? All the time
(Everybody clap and sing and do a happy dance)

Ahh, morning glory, so what's the story?
It's pissin down again but that's hunky dory
Though it's stormy the time has arrived for a 9 to the 5
That'll bore me, as much as the dude who pursued it -
Before me - gave it his heart
Literally - he got knifed in the car park
Now he'll live forever as a figure on a bar chart
But that's life so enough about him
Same old shite with the tubes on a strike,
And I can't pedal in cause they teefed my bike
Again, suppose I got myself to blame
See it never woulda happened if I'd used two chains
Looks of disgust on the bus from commuters,
Like I'm a mutant carrying a shooter
Move to the front then it smacks-that I'm wearing
A back-pack plus I ain't shaved for a month

If you're bored of London then you're bored of life
Look, why the fuck you think people carry a knife?
See they gotta stay sharp when the humour flows
As I answer a phonecall a tumour grows
Words are exchanged, now my plans have changed
My boy's been detained cause he caught a train -
Coulda shown more resilience, yes he's a silly-one
Shoulda known better bein' dark and Brazilian
Hear it everyday and the shit folks say
UK's in decay, that it's hit rock bottom
If it's all gone rotten get your arse to Spain
And sit there and complain cause it ain't all bad:
So the healthcare's fucked and our schools are doomed
But you shouldn't just assume that the youths are thick
Kids learn new tricks from their mobile phone
But you moan cause they only make Kung Fu flicks

Stop complaining
Moaning moaning constant whine
Just stop complaining
Same old shit all the time

As I look 'em in the eyeball it's viable they absent -
Minded – everyone except for the blind-kid
Cause' he's the only smiling the others look unreceptive
Defective and then I'm reminded
That this is Londinium, home to a million
Things that a brilliant and that's why it's silly
That civility and happiness are kept to a minimum
Civilians are never satisfied
Greedy little fucks with their eyes in the classifieds
Here's where the matter-lies, that-aside from the fact that
No one is engulfed by the war in the gulf
But everybody sighs when some cokehead slapper-cries
Pack-of-lies from the guys at the top who monopolise
Don't seem to care when a copper-dies
We're more concerned with the TV to see
If our favourite fat celebrity can go and drop-a-size

    Ah, and what did you get in spelling?

  55. m.... ....

    jimbrow44 = where are you from, 'concle' ha ha that's absolute genius!. And what does 'chang' mean? Do you know what a 'school' is Einstein? Have you ever been inside one? I tried looking up some of your words in the dictionary (a book which also helps in spelling words correctly) but they don't exist. Maybe you're using 'artistic license' as well.

  56. C.... S....

    pahaha i love the fighting bit at the end!

  57. j.... ....

    what the fuck is dnb lol.
    Yes today like i said ppl use the word chav like you explained. But ages ago they didn't. Rnb is shite hip hop is ok rock just rocks lol

  58. j.... ....

    That's only cos ppl use the word chav for something else now but originally it meant pikey. Mind you the way the chavs dress they look like pikeys lol.
    Yea i don't get the whole goth and emo shit i like alsorts of rock i don't have a catergorie lol, it's all rock to me

  59. j.... ....

    Yea pikeys are chavs .
    Wots bummbaclot you creating new words lol. Yea but your changing the whole word to a made up word that no one else gets,well long as ppl understand you then it's cool :0)

  66. T.... H....

    if u gonna be a smart arse, at least spell the word your correcting right.. i.e. decent :)

  67. j.... ....

    the word chav comes from what people called gypsy kids.
    I hate toffs to and im all for writing slang and making words shorter but ur changing the whole word or adding letters that aint needed lol

  68. A.... ....

    look bruv you best Shh Hut Yuh Muh
    yer, you fucking waster, yer also i aint no stephen hawking but last time i checked bra homework was one fucking word you dumb shit!!! so back off!!

  69. A.... ....

    jimbrow44 What a dick!!

  70. R.... ....

    Well, no, even with the exchange rate you don't make more money than me. Beyond that...hey, if it makes you happy, that's great. But it's just not for me.

  71. R.... ....

    Because living off the dole is pretty damn humiliating, don't you think? Or are you actually, genuinely happy leeching off the government, and barely scraping by?

  72. T.... M....

    who gives a fuck? if examples middle class, what does that mean and prove? anyone can make hip hop, if your good then your good. he even has a song pretty much all about it (you cant rap)

  73. J.... L....

    stop lickin examples rim. by the way i duno who the fuck you think you are telling people what to do. and you must be middle class because of the shit your coming out with you obviously have money to throw around if your buying all your albums and not downloading them you spaz and mate your steriotyping is shit whats with all pikeys liking Jeremy kyle you must be a pikey cause your asking me to go on it. i think the show is for peole who like moaning over fuck all for example you.

  74. M.... A....

    im not even middle clash you fuckin pikey.
    im just saying, example's pretty unknown and people who try downloading albums from artists like this are just helping to create a shitty music scene where the only way people can afford to make music is go go on the fucking xfactor.
    if u wanna discuss it further im sure you could arange a visit on jeremy kyle or somthing.
    i hear pikeys like that sort of thing

  75. M.... A....

    dont listen to this pikey fucker.
    suck it up and pay some doe for it.
    get a proper CD, his album "what we made" has been out a while you can get it in most zavvi or HMV stores.
    if you buy itunes it doesent seem like its really yours to keep if you get me.
    but yeh, just buy it, jippo's and dole eds torrent

  76. p.... ....

    He's hilarious as usual, but the words are really saying something too. ^^ He's such a great artist.
