Sunflowers For Me
(Words & Music © Pete MacGregor)
Time I was going, easy to see
Throw away the lilies, it's sunflowers for me.
I'm tired of the world and the world's tired of me
Lay me down easy where the wind's blowing free.
It's great for to see you now, you're one of the few
Throw away the lilies, it's sunflowers for me.
Sit down, skin up, what's all your news
Lay me down easy where the wind's blowing free.
Did you see me on stage wi' the lights and the rest?
Throw away the lilies, it's sunflowers for me.
I could stand at the mike, I could pose wi' the best
Lay me down easy where the wind's blowing free.
I could make the boys laugh, I could make the girls cry
Throw away the lilies, it's sunflowers for me.
But what bloody use now I'm 'Penny for the Guy'
Lay me down easy where the wind's blowing free.
It doesn't seem long since the days were all sun
Throw away the lilies, it's sunflowers for me.
Don't know when it happened but the clouds soon rolled on.
Lay me down easy where the wind's blowing free.
The day's gone all dark. I can't hear, I can't see
Throw away the lilies, it's sunflowers for me.
You might as well go, Skin me up two or three
Lay me down easy where the wind's blowing free.
Time I was going, easy to see
Throw away the lilies, it's sunflowers for me.
I'm tired of the world and the world's tired of me
Lay me down easy where the wind's blowing free.
