Lyrics

Sunshine

[Intro: New Machine]

I've been waiting for

Yeah, I've been waiting for sunshine

Instead of being stuck on the frontline

Feel like I've been here enough times

I've been waiting for

A little piece of the sunshine

Instead of being stuck on the frontline

Feel like I've been here enough times

[Chorus: New Machine]

I've been waiting for

Yeah, I've been waiting for sunshine

Instead of being stuck on the frontline

Feel like I've been here еnough times

I've been waiting for

A little piеce of the sunshine

Instead of being stuck on the frontline

Feel like I've been here enough times

I've been waiting

[Verse 1: Aitch]

Waiting on the day I make the great escape

Until then, I'm still stuck up on the same estate

Pour a glass and light a spliff to take the pain away

I'm from a place where you're lucky if it don't rain today

Three man sharin' on a cig

Didn't have a motor, my Carerra was my whip

Made certain decisions, I was careless as a kid

And I'd be lyin' if I say it doesn't tear me up a bit

Full of cunch lines, gun signs

Cut ties, goodbyes

Sometimes, good times

More time, fuck'ries

Bird says she hates me

More like she lovesick

Shirt full of gravy, came up a scruff kid

Work doesn't pay me, enough to get fucked with

Tryna link Sadie and **** in the bushes

Half the hood shady, look but don't touch it

Grew up in the gutters but we love, it so fuck it

[Chorus: New Machine]

Yeah, I've been waiting for sunshine

Instead of being stuck on the frontline

Feel like I've been here enough times

I've been waiting for

A little piece of the sunshine

Instead of being stuck on the frontline

Feel like I've been here enough times

I've been waiting

[Verse 2: Aitch]

Yeah

A little gaff by the seaside

Never left Manny, I was trapped in the beehive

Grew up on fish, chips, sandwich and meat pies

Save a couple quid and go grab me a 3-5

Anything for a cheap night

Drink 'til I fall, pray to God that I revive

I'm from up North, I was born on the deep side

You think that your city's seen it all, you ain't seen mine

Throw it back, let me rewind

Never got my grades, told mumzy I'd be fine

Set my head straight, had to focus on me time

We only got one life and I'm tryna keep mine

But fuck it, I ain't stressin', I'll just play it by ear

Love the ends, up the ends, same way I can't trust the ends

But home is where the heart is so I'm stayin' right here

[Chorus: New Machine]

Yeah, I've been waiting for sunshine

Instead of being stuck on the frontline

Feel like I've been here enough times

I've been waiting for

A little piece of the sunshine

Instead of being stuck on the frontline

Feel like I've been here enough times

I've been waiting—

[Outro]

Fuck it, open it up

Manchester, make some noise

AJ! One, two (Wait)

One, two, three go!
