Song Lyrics:

We don’t have much sun (there), where we come from
So Mexico City
Thank you
Thanks for the Burritos

Summer stretching on the grass
Summer dresses pass
In the shade of a willow tree
Creeps a-crawling over me


Over me and over you
Stuck together with God’s glue
It’s going to get stickier too
It’s been a long hot summer
Let’s get under cover
Don’t try too hard to think
Don’t think at all

You’re not the only one
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you’d find
If you took a look inside
I’m not just deaf and dumb
Staring at the sun
Not the only one
Who’s happy to go blind

There’s an insect in your ear
If you scratch it won’t disappear
It’s going to itch and burn and sting
You wanna see what the scratching brings

Waves that leave me out of reach
Breaking on your back like a beach
Will we ever live in peace
‘Cause those that can’t do
Often have to
No those that can’t do
Often have to preach

To the ones
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you’ll find
If you took a look inside
I’m not just deaf and dumb
Staring at the sun
I’m not the only one
Who’s happy to go blind

Mexico…
Mexico…
Mexico…

Intransigence is all around
Military still in town
Armour plated suits and ties
Daddy just won’t say goodbye

Referee won’t blow the whistle
God is good but will He listen?
I’m nearly great
But there’s something missing
I left it in the duty free oh
But you never really belonged to me

I’m not the only one
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you’d find
If you stepped back inside
I’m sucking on my thumb
Staring at the sun
Not the only one
Who’s happy to go blind

Happy to go blind
Happy to go blind
Happy to go blind
I’m happy to go, happy to go
Happy to go…. blind

Thank you

Oh, oh oh oh
[etc]

Oh
He’s been called The Edge for a while now
Go for it

I shouldn’t have been called The Edge
