Staring At the Sun (Radio Edit) Lyrics

Well, I started out strong
And my hopes were high
I figured Ill be like Bonnie and Clyde
25 beers as an alibi, had to get connectedSo I wrote a long letter to a government man
I told him I was born in the summer of Sam
He said, "Son, I dont think that you understand
I just wanna get elected"But my heart got heavy and my hair grew long
I had to take a job just to get along
I was down in the gutter below
I was down in the gutter belowAs my daddy always said
"Sing a song, how hard can it be just to get along?"
He said, "Dont go selling your soul
Yeah, dont go selling your soul"Hey man, you know, whats up, too slow
Feels like I'm staring at the sun
You get high, you get low, dont let your ego
Ive been staring at the sun, staring at the sunWell, I got a lot of love for the modern man
I read a lot of books that I dont understand
Won a lot of things, but I lost your soul

Just want a hooker with a heart of goldAs my heart gets heavy and my hair gets long
How hard can it be just to get along?
When you dont go selling your soul
Yes, dont go selling your soulHey man, you know, whats up, too slow
Feels like I'm staring at the sun
You get high, you get low, dont let your ego
Ive been staring at the sun, staring at the sunNow baby, I love you when spring's in the air
But it just seems like, lately
We spend our days just smoking pot and
Wondering how we got so fucked upHey man, you know, dont let your ego
Feels like we're staring at the sun
Hey man, you know, dont let your ego
I've been staring at the sunHey man, you know, dont let your ego
Feels like we're staring at the sun
Hey man, you know, dont let your ego
I've been staring at the sun, staring at the sunStaring at the sun
Staring at the sun
Staring at the sun

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Simple Kid

Simple Kid (born Ciaran McFeely) is an Irish solo musician known for his trancey/synth sound and his "simple" approach to making and performing his music. Simple Kid's approach to recording is different than others in that raw recordings are made to an 8-track cassette player which he then feeds into his computer for mixing and mashing into the final song.

Before becoming Simple Kid, Ciaran was a member of The Young Offenders. Forming when he was 17, the band was composed of friends made while growing up in Cork, Ireland. The group attempted to release an album in America but was met with failure and broke up.

All tracks on Simple Kid's debut album 1 are mixed and mastered from his own recordings, on his own equipment, by himself. His second release 2 was put out in the UK in 2006, and the US in 2007.

His style of remixing and sampling has been compared to Fatboy Slim, although Simple Kid uses his own recordings as sources. Simple Kid's sound is difficult to place, but could be best described as folk trance-pop with an edge.

Although having spent considerable time in America before becoming Simple Kid, his popularity today is mostly limited to the United Kingdom. His touring is based out of London and he has most recently supported Bell X1 during their Ireland & UK tour in 2006. Previously, Simple Kid has toured with such acts as Travis, the Thrills, Ocean Colour Scene, Suede and Richard Ashcroft.
