EVIL UNDER THE SUN

It seems so easy to lose the thread
Of the things I’ve done
And the things I’ve said
To hurt you

And so much harder to pick it up again
And pretend it’s just the same
Nothing has changed
Nothing has been said

I was only joking
So sorry it never comes across that way

Like spring is new
I’m the same as you

I just ignore the things you say that hurt me
And move on

As life unwinds you meet a man
Who says God is time and Time’s not kind
But money was the one
That always hurt you

And those who say that money is time
And time is money
Commit a crime against your mind
More fool you to believe it

Well I’ve been rich and I’ve been poor
And I feel it’s time to settle the score
Cause it seemed to me
That being rich felt better

As you unwind you might find
You change your mind
Grow tired of being defined
By the things you have or have not got

Fine if you are thinking
Of keeping me the way you think I am

Like spring is new
I need room to move
The things that make me what I am
Are the things that you can’t stand

So you think you are the one
Evil under the sun
Evil under the sun (with nothing to believe in)

So you think you are the one
Evil under the sun
Evil under the sun

It seems unwise to live off lies
To sell your soul to compromise
When the truth slips noose-like
Loose-like round your neck

As you unwind you search and find
No self respect
When you break one heart
And move on to the next

I was only joking
So sorry it never comes across that way

Like spring is new
I need room to move
The things that make me what I am
Are the things that you can’t stand

So you think you are the one
Evil under the sun
Evil Under the sun (with nothing to believe in)

So you think you are the one

Evil under the sun
Evil under the sun

So what have you got to give

To fall in love with

Or run from

Fall in love with all the things you see outside

Or fall in love with evil deep inside

It seems so easy to lose the thread
Of the things I’ve done
And the things I’ve said
To hurt you

And so much harder to pick it up again
And pretend it’s just the same
Nothing has changed
Nothing has been said

I was only joking
So sorry it never comes across that way

Hey hey

Like spring is new
I’m the same as you
I just ignore the things you say that hurt me

And move on

So you think you are the one
Evil under the sun
Evil under the sun (with nothing to believe in)

So you think you are the one

Evil under the sun

Look at what you have begun
Evil under the sun
Evil under the sun

Look at what you have become
Evil under the sun
Evil under the sun

It seems so easy to lose the thread
Of the things I’ve done
And the things I’ve said
To hurt you

I was only joking

So sorry it never comes across that way.

Hey hey.
