Sunshine's Better - John Martyn

If I call you sugar, if you call me honey

Does this mean you’ve got a hand in my fate

If you take my money, if I take your liberty

Does it mean it’s all down to love and hate

If you open doors for me, I’ll have the manners to respond

I’ll treat you like mine

Ah babe, ah baby

Sunshine’s better on the other side

Sunshine’s better when you make it shine

The sun shines better

Sunshine’s better on the other side

The other side of the hill

The sun shines better

If I call you lover and if you call me dad

Does it mean that we’re in love

If you give me all your hate

Open up the garden gate

Does that mean we’re in love

Tell me sugar, call me honey

Come on darling, I’ll just take all my money

We can run away naked with the flames of desire

Running through water like birds of a feather

Like birds of a feather

I tell you, sunshine’s better on the other side

The other side of the stream

Let’s run in tonight, let’s run in tonight

The sunshine’s better on the other side of the flames

Come on darling, let’s jump in tonight

Let’s jump in tonight

Sunshine’s better on the other side

Sunshine’s better every time you make that smile of yours reappear

You chortle, chuckle, giggle, mumble and

Swing like a bitch

'Til the day is done, that’s what you do

You can giggle and laugh, make yourself happy

'Til the day is done, remember

Sunshine’s better on the other side, other side of the hill

We’re going to get there, come on, come on

Skinny dip, skinny dip, skinny dip, skinny dip

Skinny dipping around the scene

Way down by the river

Sunshine’s better on the other side

They tell me that the sunshine’s better on the other side

Better than this side, you know

The sunshine’s better over there, better over there, better over there

Sunshine’s better

Sunshine’s better on the other side

Sunshine’s better

Sunshine’s better on the other side, the other side of the hill

Lord, you know where the grass is green

Oh lord, greener than you’ve ever seen

Sunshine’s better on the other side

On the other side

Sunshine’s better on the other side

Sunshine’s better, don’t you dare to go and hide from me now

If I call you sugar, would you dare to call me honey?

If I tell you that I love you, would you take all my money

We could run naked, naked through the fire

Through the water, through the ice, through the sun

Through the jungle, through the desert sands

On the road, down and around the swings, roundabouts

Sunshine’s better on the other side

Sunshine’s better than you’ve ever seen before in your life

I’m telling you how I know

I’ve been there

I’ve been there and gone

Been there, been there and gone

Been there
