Listen. It never stays out for too long
That sun shines bright but it seems the clouds are too strong
And when brawn beats brains, it´s unfortunate mate
Cause your barbecuing chicken in the pouring rain
I can´t change the weather, but can offer a song
About the one thing you want all year long
But my friends it´s like a trophy
England´s never got it for long
You know it´s fucked up when even the Met office are wrong
When it´s hot I get it on like factor fifteen
Grab my Frisbee and Jack Daniels whiskey
Hash-tag my next tweet meet me in the park, I brought fat bags of sensi
You´ll see me on the grass
And that´s where I´ll be until the sun goes down
Until the keeper smells the reefer and he comes and throws us out
I reckon he´s just green with envy cause I´ve got a spliff with me
When the sun shines on the big city

[Hook x2]
When the sun shines on the big city
Promise me that you will be there with me
We can do a little of a lot or a lot of a little
When the sun shines on the big city

We need sunshine today man
I´ve got so many bad weather memories
I might be Rain Man
The same old people in your boat ain´t banal
When they´re dropping clichés as you float on they canal
And even if you´re in the park???
You wanna meet live the sailor life, seated on decks
But rain drops moves that the heat cannot test
And picnics turn to wet T-shirt contests
Make rainfall my sprinklers
I´ll gladly delete the reason the damn fires aren´t well cooked
And mate I´d wear shorts in my pictures
And sadly wouldn´t be a real bad man in Vybz Kartels books
I go to wear shorts and never fit in
Cold stares and scorches are just air conditioning
Knees out but trust me I´m not a big sissy
When the sun shines on the big city

[Hook x2]
When the sun shines on the big city
Promise me that you will be there with me
We can do a little of a lot or a lot of a little
When the sun shines on the big city

When the sun beams down on a grey land
Be prepared, meet me there in your Raybans
I swear this would be wrong time of day
For the clouds to come around and rain on my parade
But I guess I´m only fooling myself if
I go against the weather when we´re all just helpless
We should make the most of what we witness
The summer´s back in business
My ice-cream is already melting

[Hook x2]
When the sun shines on the big city
Promise me that you will be there with me
We can do a little of a lot or a lot of a little
When the sun shines on the big city
