Lyrics for Sunshine On Catford

You, you, you, you, you And furthermore, 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 You 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 Everyday 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 down my throat Loneliness It rained and rained Till I felt your reaching hand That's when the sun came out and it shone on us That the whole thing had been planned It's not all roses, no We've 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 a supermarket car park Thank you, what 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 is 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)
