Steal My Sunshine by Len


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
A comfortable 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

Check, come here come here, come here
Wow, look at her
I know
I've never seen Sharon look so bad before
I did once before, but this is pretty bad
Yeah, what do you think she got up to last night?
Ha ha ha
Tell, I, Karen I love you

I was lying on the bench slide in the park across the street
L-a-t-e-are 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 feet
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 it's done for me
If you steal my sunshine
Not some and 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
If you steal my sunshine

My sunshine
If you steal my sunshine

This song was written about an experience at a rave. I remember the rave days. I remember a time when the meaningless sentiment in this song would have inspired me and seemed important. Hearing it now I feel stupid. So the video is so stupid that after about 30 seconds you think “oh this is a parody. They are making this stupid on purpose. That explains the gay red scooters and the cheesy beach stufff.” But you would be wrong. They used scooters cuz they didn’t have motorcycle license and they beach stuff was all because they wanted to spend the 100 thousand dollar budget on drugs and booze instead of making an actual video. Well it certainly does show. A one hit wonder that deserves to disappear forever.

Wow you are a bitter dude. And no... you do not remember rave days because you do not remember taking me to a HUGE rave in the valley. Course you did basically ditch me but its okay because I had a hook up.

The video reminds me of our moped race to Durango

I remember the house I was living in when this video/song came out

That's one aspect of music I love

- how certain songs can capture specific moments in your life

The song itself is ok - kinda catchy for a bit

It always made me think of someone owning sunshine and selling it to the people in the shade

Or when Mr Burns invented the machine to block the sun

The Raving angle makes sense

- i'm sure the 33 minute remix of this song was a big hit at raves
