About This Track
'Sunrise' by Pulp is a rock track from the album 'We Love Life' (2001). The lyrics look back on a period of self-disgust and petty failure, summoning a shift in mood as the refrain arrives, “here comes sunrise”. It is a stubbornly resentful-to-renewed sort of turnaround, from hatred of daylight’s indifferent gaze to a blunt promise that things are about to change. The tone is both bitter and bracing, like someone trying to outstare the past.
"Sunrise" is a track by Pulp, from the album We Love Life, released 21st October 2001. The track is 5:53 long. It's filed under Rock. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 20 articles about Pulp.
About the Artist
Lyrics
I used to hate the sun because it shone on everything I'd done Made me feel that all that I had done Was overfill the ashtray of my life All my achievements in days of yore range from pathetic to piss-poor But all that's gonna change Because here comes sunrise Yeah, here's your sunrise I used to hide from the sun Tried to live my whole life underground Why'd you have to rise & ruin all my fun? Just turned over Closed the curtains on the day. But here comes sunrise Yeah, here's your sunrise when you've been awake all night long And you feel like crashing out at dawn But you've been awake all night, so why should you crash out at dawn?
