Lyrics
SUNSHINE AND CELLULOID
Music by Beth Thornley & Rob Cairns
Lyrics by Beth Thornley
Stiff Hips Music, 2002
V1: I guess I have been taken by a pro.
The final floor show left me with vertigo.
But when it?s all said and done,
I guess we?re even ?cause I
always knew I couldn?t trust you either. Oh yeah.
Chorus: You better learn to avoid sunshine and celluloid
?cause you never know who could be watchin? you.
Yeah, you always seem so sure you?ll never blow it
but if you got what you came for, would you know it?
Yeah, if you got what you came for, boy would you know it?
V2: Another day and just another thought
but never nothin? I could put my finger on.
I guess I always knew a
wink and a smile, baby,
just wasn?t worth much as an alibi. Oh yeah (to chorus)
Bridge: You?re miles away from what you want,
you?re miles away, miles away.
You?re miles away from what you want,
you?re miles away, miles away.
From what we thought and what we want.
You?re miles away from what we thought
but the smile?s the same, the smile?s the same. (to chorus)
