John Martyn - Sunshine's Better Lyrics
If I call you sugar, if you call me honey
Does this mean you've got a hand in my fate
If you take my money, if I take your liberty
Does it mean it's all down to love and hate
If you open doors for me, I'll have the manners to respond
Ah babe, ah baby
Sunshine's better on the other side
Sunshine's better when you make it shine
The sun shines better
Sunshine's better on the other side
The other side of the hill
The sun shines better
If I call you lover and if you call me dad
If you give me all your hate
Open up the garden gate
Does that mean we're in love
Tell me sugar, call me honey
Come on darling, I'll just take all my money
We can run away naked with the flames of desire
Running through water like birds of a feather
Like birds of a feather
I tell you, sunshine's better on the other side
The other side of the stream
Let's run in tonight, let's run in tonight
The sunshine's better on the other side of the flames
Come on darling, let's jump in tonight
Let's jump in tonight
Sunshine's better on the other side
Sunshine's better every time you make that smile of yours reappear
You chortle, chuckle, giggle, mumble and
Swing like a bitch
'Til the day is done, that's what you do
You can giggle and laugh, make yourself happy
'Til the day is done, remember
Sunshine's better on the other side, other side of the hill
We're going to get there, come on, come on
Skinny dip, skinny dip, skinny dip, skinny dip
Skinny dipping around the scene
Way down by the river
Sunshine's better on the other side
They tell me that the sunshine's better on the other side
Better than this side, you know
The sunshine's better over there, better over there, better over there
Sunshine's better
Sunshine's better on the other side
Sunshine's better
Sunshine's better on the other side, the other side of the hill
Lord, you know where the grass is green
Oh lord, greener than you've ever seen
Sunshine's better on the other side
On the other side
Sunshine's better on the other side
Sunshine's better, don't you dare to go and hide from me now
If I call you sugar, would you dare to call me honey?
If I tell you that I love you, would you take all my money
We could run naked, naked through the fire
Through the water, through the ice, through the sun
Through the jungle, through the desert sands
On the road, down and around the swings, roundabouts
Sunshine's better on the other side
Sunshine's better than you've ever seen before in your life
I'm telling you how I know
I've been there
I've been there and gone
Been there, been there and gone
Been there

Beautifully put together...5.45 of utter BLISS ...Thank you !
Lovely.
Hello can't beat tunes like that
Hey man, you surely touch my soul. Thank you from Germany!
a cafe del mar classic since mid 90's & a real masterpiece !!!
This is what I envision when I hear this track: I imagine a night of ecstasy on my own just dancing my blues away when suddenly I run into a guy who is just as full as energy, his smile so bright on the dark dancefloor, his eyes crinkling from laughter as our arms and legs flail in unison to the music and the hours fly by. We feel ourselves connect in that moment through silliness, through exhilaration, through pure joy and love. Then when the place finally closes we walk to the nearby beach together and sit on the sand. As the night begins to fade and dawn creeps up he asks if he can play a song and puts this track on, as that opening sax calls out and John's soft voice starts crooning the first verse the both of us just lay back taking in the first embers of light hitting the clouds. A moment of tranquility, just quietly reflecting on the wonderful night soaking in the warmth of those memories. Then as soon as that chorus hits the sunlight breaks over the horizon and as that light hits us, we are on our feet once again, energised by those warm beams and the beat of the song. We circle each other in an almost tribalistic way, our dance moves no longer making sense, our bodies simply flowing with the beauty of the song as the sunshine pours into our bodies and souls. When the song finishes I look at that stranger deep in his eyes and we embrace. No need for talking, the gratitude felt both way speaks louder than any words could. As the embrace breaks I take his hand and smile deeply at him. He returns the smile tenfold. And with that we release our hold on each other and depart in opposite directions. He enriched my life and I am a better man for having know him. I whistle sunshine's better as I walk along finally making my way home.
wonderful song mr. martyn <3

Thank you for this precious upload.....
Shame MOST people knew not of John Martin and his life of woes, His former wife ect, That really hurt him, then he went through having a leg amputated whilst trying to continue in his music which was his main vein in life. John Martin RIP you live though folk like me.
aspert? Do you have troubles with domestic violence ? Do you like to break other peoples guitars on purpose, people that you don't even know? Do you like giving people scars by digging your fingerpicking guitar nail into someones hand whilst you shake it? He was indeed an extremely talented lunatic , who wrote beautiful music, however it does seem apparent that he possessed an abundance of personality flaws!( I think he hurt his wife a lot more than his wife hurt him...)
Where d'you hear that he broke peoples guitars on purpose? Just curious..
God Bless John Martyn
John was an extraordinary talented musician. I suspect he lived as a so called functioning alcoholic.
Miss seeing him on stage!!❤️
