`SUNRISE`

I used to hate the sun because it shone on everything I'd done.
Made me feel that all that I had done was overfill the ashtray of my life.

All my achievements in days of yore range from pathetic
to piss-poor, but all that's gonna change...

Because here comes sunrise.
Yeah, here's your sunrise.

I used to hide from the sun, tried to live my whole life underground.
Why'd you have to rise & ruin all my fun?
Just turned over, closed the curtains on the day.

But here comes sunrise.
Yeah, here's your sunrise

when you've been awake
all night long & you feel like crashing out at dawn.
But you've been awake all night, so why should you crash out at dawn?

and following the last uttering of that, the final spoken line it descends into a thrilling sonic sound wave of elegiac guitar. Really one of my favourite songs and from the excellent and final album `We Love Life` which was produced lushly by Scott Walker.
