The Sunbed Song Lyrics


I woke up, baby
To find you gone, long gone
Now I wake up, baby
Turn my sunbed on, turn it on
Oh, I really love your mind
Though, I can't forget your body
I really love your mind
Though, I can't forget your body
I really love your mind
Though, I can't forget your body
I think about it all night long
Late September, summer's over
Can't remember where the love has gone
See you later alligator
Don't forget, turn your sunbed on
We broke up, baby
Seems the die was cast too fast
Now, I break up, baby

When I relive the past, free at last
Well, it started as a virtue but it soon became a vice
It started as a virtue but it soon became a vice
I never meant to hurt you but I'm cold as ice
I heard you crying all night long
Late September, summer's over
Can't remember where the love has gone
See you later, alligator
Don't forget, turn your sunbed on
All by myself it runs so deep
I cry myself to restless sleep
A dream surreal, a new game to play
These things I feel in such an artificial way
I woke up, baby
Found the summer's gone, long gone
Now, I wake up, baby
Turn my sunbed on, turn it on
And I won't even try to justify my sunglasses
Won't even try to justify my sunglasses
Won't even try to justify my sunglasses
You'll hear me crying all day long
Late September, summer's over
Can't remember where the love has gone
See you later, alligator
Don't forget, turn your sunbed on, yeah
Turn it on
Whenever you can
Turn it on
You know that you can

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Internationally popular British funk-rock quartet fronted by Mark King and Mike Lindup, best known for their hits Lessons In Love, Something About You, The Sun Goes Down (Living It Up), Love Games and Hot Water. They were formed on the Isle of Wight.

Though their membership has fluctuated throughout the years, the original and perhaps best-known lineup consisted of Mark King aka "Thunderthumbs" (vocals & bass), Mike Lindup (vocals & keyboards) and brothers Boon Gould (guitar) and Phil Gould (drums). After the success of the Running in the Family album, the Gould brothers left the band, citing musical differences and nervous exhaustion. King and Lindup continued, picking up replacement artists in Gary Husband on drums and former Go West and Kate Bush guitarist Alan Murphy. Murphy sadly passed away after suffering from an AIDS related illness in October 1989. The band released their then swansong album, Forever Now, in 1994.

At the end of the 80s, Mark King was recognized as one of the best bass players in the world having pioneered the 'slap and pull' technique, treating the bass as a percussion instrument. His style and virtuosity still are hugely influential, considering he also sang while he played very difficult basslines.

Following the formal breakup of the band in the mid-90s King later performed with a new lineup under the Level 42 moniker, before he and Lindup reunited to record Retroglide in 2006.

As of 2012, King and Lindup are still touring with personnel of Pete Ray Biggin, Sean Freeman and Nathan King completing the current lineup.
