I feel like this song aged well.

Here's the lyrics, since Spotify won't open them for this or a bunch of other songs that are older than 2018 for some reason:

I was lying on the grass on Sunday morning of last week

Indulging in my self-defeat

My mind was thugged all laced and bugged all twisted wrong and beat

Uncomfortable in three feet deep

Now the fuzzy stare from not being there on a confusing morning week

Impaired my tribal lunar-speak

And of course you can't become if you only say what you would have done

So I missed a million miles of fun

I know it's up for me

If you steal my sunshine

Making sure I'm not in too deep

If you steal my sunshine

Keeping versed and on my feet

If you steal my sunshine

I was frying on the bench slide in the park across the street

L-a-t-e-r that week

My sticky paws were in to making straws out of big fat slurpy treats

An incredible eight foot heap

Now the funny glare to pay a gleaming tare in a staring under heat

Involved an under usual feat

And I'm not only among but I invite who I want to come

So I missed a million miles of fun

I know it's up for me

If you steal my sunshine

Making sure I'm not in too deep

If you steal my sunshine

Keeping versed and on my feet

If you steal my sunshine

I know its done for me

If you steal my sunshine

Not something hard to see

If you steal my sunshine

Keeping dumb and built to beat

If you steal my sunshine

My Sunshine

If you Steal my sunshine

My Sunshine

If you Steal my sunshine

My Sunshine

If you steal my sunshine

My Sunshine

My Sunshine

If you Steal my sunshine

My Sunshine

If you Steal my sunshine

My Sunshine

If you steal my sunshine

My Sunshine

You missed the start where it’s like:

Hey, have you seen Dave?

Uh he looks pretty uh down.

Do you think he likes buttertarts?

What in the fuck does any of that mean?

[–] pwalshj@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It means Len likes druuuuuugs. IIRC he took the record company advance, went on a 3 month bender with his buddies, and never delivered an album.

They spent the money for the video clip getting wasted the night before filming, with just enough to high some scooters, they're all hungover as fuck in the video clip.

I'm pretty sure the second verse is about giving head.

What the fuck is up with that anyway? Some of these songs the lyrics definitely worked on before. It seems like the lyric sync is missing on a lot of songs that used to have it too.

It coincidentally happened when they started making access to the lyrics part of the premium service and not for everyone. Either there's a bug in the code not pulling them because it failed to authenticate the premium user, or it's just greed where in the start slowly removing features without telling anyone.

I often wonder where the child of the pregnant woman is now..

Nothing like a song about doing heroin with your sister.

Was this the band where they're siblings but are always kinda too touchy with each other?

[–] Deceptichum@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

This single was the first CD I ever bought myself.

Always will hold a special place for me.

Sadly I will always know this song as the one playing while my first kid was born... they had some generic old popular song radio playing in the room and this was 2016. I was disappointed since a few songs prior was daft punk around the world.
