| Sundial In The Shade |
|---|
| As she sat down, put up her feet |
| And she turned the telly on |
| She clearly wanted some revenge |
| For how badly day had gone |
| And nothing could be better |
| No end of day complete |
| Than watching fellow woman |
| Getting beat |
| So she smiled a knowing smile |
| As gradually, the plot |
| Took the damsel down |
| For everything she’d got |
| And nothing made her heart leap like |
| Another falling flat |
| That she was not the only one |
| Who married into that |
| What I want from life |
| Is not a rollercoaster dip |
| What I want from love |
| Is not a ramp up to a skip |
| All I want is compliment |
| Occasionally made |
| For a life of pure simplicity |
| Unlike these soaps I’d trade |
| Till then, I am just |
| That sundial in the shade… |
| See, momma went to prison |
| And left her feeling blue |
| Now, twenty good years later |
| She’s in that prison too |
| A prison where the governor’s |
| In the armchair of despair |
| A prison where the only thought |
| Is a wish she wasn’t there |
| So she smiled a knowing smile |
| As gradually, each soap |
| Took away her dignity |
| And offered her the rope |
| So, with coat over pajamas |
| She headed into the night |
| Television never made no friends |
| But solitude just might |
| In the shade |
| Sundial in the shade |
| Ooh. |
| Oh… |
| Oh, oh… |
| Oh, oh… |
| Ooh… |
| When the groom is just too matey |
| With the father of the bride |
| And the punch on shoulder’s just too hard |
| For the bridesmaids to decide |
| Like the mints that fence the lager breath |
| There’s so much he could hide |
| Is it plastic bag or jellyfish |
| That’s floating by your side? |
| What I want from life (what I want from life) |
| Is not a rollercoaster dip |
| What I want from love (what I want from love) |
| Is not a ramp up to a skip |
| All I want is compliment |
| Occasionally made |
| For a life of pure simplicity |
| Unlike these soaps I’d trade |
| Till then, I am just (till then, I am just) |
| That sundial (in the shade) |
| Till then, I am just (in the shade) |
| That sundial in the shade… |
| In the shade… |
| Sundial… |
| All I want from life… |
| All I want from love… |
