lyrics

Swoop right in with minimal work
Take the bag and all that it’s worth
I know you’ve done it before
Leave the pop but without the fizz
Use my thoughts and sell them as his
The Blonde on the Labrador

Pre
How could you ever eat off my name
( always waiting for the acclaim )
I wasn’t looking for fame
Just some recognition

Chorus
They took my light
For their own Ray of Sunshine
They took my soul
For their own Ray of Sunshine

Heard my words coming out of his mouth
Something I said when I travelled down south
I did the time but you got all the wealth
Oh no you’re draining the dough
Have you got one original bone in your body?
Cause everything you do sounds a lot like me
Oh no I’ve said it before

Pre
How could you ever eat of my name
(Always looking for the acclaim)
Wasn’t in it for the fame
Cause I hate being known

Chorus

Pre
How could you ever eat of my name
Shame shame shame shame
I wasnt looking for fame
Just some recognition

Chorus
