Donovan Songtext
von Happy Mondays

This one′s dedicated to an hippy
And as someone once said
"Never trust a hippy"

60 people in an empty hotel
Every last cump with a story to tell
Give them all pills, so their heads won't swell
We were born to a woman whose husband did quite well

Oh sunshine, shone brightly
Through my arsehole today
Could have tripped out real easy, but I decided to stay

Hold out your hand
Hold out your hand
Hold out your hand said whitey with the blame
We′ll really fuck you up, so you really dig the pain
Take you under my wings, so you'll never be the same
His wife is so much older and both her legs are lame


Oh sunshine, it shines brightly through my window today
Could have gone 20 miles, but I decided to stay
Oh, stay a while
Stay a whie
Are you ready?

All my flock has stopped here and flocked all back to hell
Open up the doors, so the place don't start to smell
Carry on with what your doing ′cause you don′t do it that well
I've been umpteen different people, and no one else can tell

Oh sunshine, it shines brightly through my arsehole today
I could have tripped out real easy, but I decided to stay
Come up and see me, and make me smile
Come up and see me, just never with your while

60 people in an empty hotel
Every last one with something to tell
Give them all pills, so their heads won′t swell
They were born to a woman whose husband did quite well

Oh sunshine, it shines brightly
Through my window today
Could have gone down real easy, but I decided to stay
Check a woman, check-check, check a woman
Check a woman, check a woman, check-check, check a woman


Oh, oh, oh
Oh, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Open

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
