Jonny Lexus - Sundial in the Shade lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus 1] So she smiled a knowing smile As gradually, the plot Took the damsel down For everything she'd got And nothing made her heart beat like Another falling flat That she was not the only one Who married into that [Chorus] What I want from life Is not a roller coaster 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 trade Till then, I am just that sundial In the shade [Verse 2] See, mama 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 [Pre-Chorus 2] So she smiled a knowing smile As gradually, he told Took away her dignity And offered her the road So, with coat over pajamas She headed into the night Television never made no friends But solitude just might [Chorus] In the shade Sundial in the shade Ooh.. Oh... Oh, oh... Oh, oh... Ooh... [Bridge] Groom has just, too, made up With the father of the bride And the punch, I'm sure that's just too hard For the bridesmaids to decide Like the mints that fenced the lager breath There's so much he could hide It's a plastic bag or jellyfish That's floating by your side [Chorus] In the shade... Sundial... All I want from life... All I want from love...
