You stole the sun and its raining outside You stole the sun your not giving it to anyone You stole the sun You stole the sun and its raining outside You stole the sun your not giving it to anyone
So I built myself a ladder and I climbed up to the sun I took with me my sunglasses I took my water pistol And eventually I shot him, I stuck him in my bag I took him down the ladders and he toasted all my fags And then I hung him in my bedroom and it was nice and hot I went into my wardrobe and put on my shades and shorts Soon I had a suntan, I hadnt told a soul The Police came round to ask me I said I didnt know
You stole the sun You stole the sun and its raining outside You stole the sun you aint giving it to anyone You stole the sun You stole the sun and its raining outside You stole the sun you aint giving it to anyone
Well it was pitch black outside, no one could see a thing And Im stood here with my guitar and I begin to sing While everybody else is searching for a torch I'm stood here in the sunshine, there's no way I'm getting bored I'm sipping on a cocktail, I suck a strawberry split I hold my glass up in the air and I said I love this shit Mr sunshine says to me, when will you set me free? I said to him, grin on my face, No you're all for me
You stole the sun You stole the sun and its raining outside You stole the sun you ain't giving him to anyone Who stole the sun, who stole the sun, who stole the sun
Well I'm making a confession and I dont know why But I had this suddenurge to take the sun right out the sky To keep it for myself, not for anybody else I got so blind and selfish that I began to melt And after about three days, I burnt up to a crisp I had to leave the sun off guard to go and have a piss To go and get some cream to soothe my painful blisters I ran down to the shop, I heard somebody whisper* And they asked me where I'd been* And why I looked like a lobster I blamed it on my ex who went to uni and I lost her She called me on the phone and gives me loads of grief She said I need to get a life and that I am a theif I dont know how she clocked me She really sussed me out But anyway I've gotta go, Ive got things to sort out I ran back up the road, I looked up at my house My window was ajar, Mr Sunshine had got out Darkness became daylight and I felt full of spite I fell down on my knees and I began to cry Mr Sunshine got away, he was shining down his rays I went and got my ladders and I got him back again
You stole the sun You stole the sun and its raining outside You stole the sun you aint giving it to anyone You stole the sun Who stole the sun, who stole the sun, who stole the sun You stole the sun
