Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone.
It’s not warm when she’s away.
Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone
And she’s always gone too long anytime she goes away.

Wonder this time where she’s gone,
Wonder if she’s gone to stay
Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone
And this house just ain’t no home anytime she goes away.

And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know

Hey, I ought to leave the young thing alone,
But ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone, only darkness everyday.
Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone,
And this house just ain’t no home anytime she goes away.

Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.

Ein Lied was mir immer schon gefallen hat von Colin Hay -- Overkill! Hier singt er in einem Ausschnitt bei der Serie Scrubs, gut gemacht finde ich:

Der Text dazu:

I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications

Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know I'll be alright
Perhaps it's just imagination

Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away

Alone between the sheets
Only brings exasperation
It's time to walk the streets
Smell the desperation

At least there's pretty lights
And though there's little variation
It nullifies the night from overkill

Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Come back another day

I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications

Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know I'll be alright
It's just overkill

Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Ghosts appear and fade away
Ghosts appear and fade away

Wenn wir unsere Grenzen jeden Tag ein wenig mehr zurückdrängen, Schritt für Schritt, überwinden wir die Ängste, die uns daran hindern oder einschränken, sich unserem eigenen Leben zu bemächtigen.

Blüte und Untergang, Würdigkeit und Unwürdigkeit, edle und gemeine Gesinnung, alles drückt sich in der Musik aus und lässt sich nicht verbergen.

Lyric:
Times, Nothing’s right, if you ain’t here
I’ll give all that I have, just to keep you near
I wrote you a letter, darling, tried to make it clear,
But you just don’t believe that I’m sincere

I’ve been thinking about you, baby
I want you to live with me, wow
I’ve been thinking about you, baby
I want you to live with me
