Gorillaz - Clint Eastwood

[Andrew M.]

Better known by most as "sunshine in a bag". Now, where I come from this song is usually looked at to be pertaining to drug use because most people hear and assume what they want to keep their little cages sealed nice and tight. I find the lyrics to be inspirational and thought provoking and you may agree. Not only that but it's got a nice beat.


Gorillaz - Clint Eastwood (sunshine in a bag)

Ooo ooo ooo ooo
I ain't happy, I'm feelin' glad
I got sunshine in a bag
I'm useless, but not for long the future is comin' on

I ain't happy, I'm feelin' glad
I got sunshine in a bag
I'm useless, but not for long the future is comin' on,
It's comin' on, It's comin' on, It's comin' on, It's comin' on


Yeah, ha Ha!
Finally someone let me outta my cage
Now time for me is nothin' cuz I'm countin' no age
Nah, I couldn't be there, now you shouldn't be scared
I'm good at repairs, and I'm under your snare
Intangible, I bet you didn't think so I command you to
Panoramic view,
Look I'll make it all manageable
Pick and choose,
Sit and lose,
All you different crews
Chicks and dudes,
So who you think is really kickin' tunes?
Picture you gettin' down in tha picture tube,
Like you lit the fuse
You think it's fictional?
Mystical? maybe
Spiritual hero who
Appears in you to clear your view when you're too crazy
Lifeless,
to know the definition for what life is
Priceless,
To you because I put you on the hype shit
You like it? Gun smokin'
Righteous with one toke and
Psychic among those,
Possess you with one note

I ain't happy, I' m feelin' glad
I got sunshine in a bag
I'm useless, but not for long the future is comin' on

I ain't happy, I' m feelin' glad
I got sunshine in a bag
I'm useless, but not for long, the future is comin' on,
it's comin' on, it's comin' on, it's comin' on, it's comin' on

The essence, the basics,
Without that you make it
Allow me to make this
child-like-in-nature.
Rhythm, you have it or you don't
That's a fallacy.
I'm in them, every sprouting tree,
every child of peace, every cloud and sea.
You see with your mind,
you see destruction and demise
Corruption in disguise
From this fuckin' enterprise,
Now I'm sucked into your lives
Through Russel not his muscles but percussion he provides
With me as a guise
Y'all can see me now cuz you don't see with your eyes
You perceive with your mind
That's the inner
So I'ma stick around with Russ and be a mentor
Bust a few rhymes so mother fuckers remember
What the thought is
I brought all this, so you can survive when law is lawless
Feelings, sensations that you thought was dead
No squealing, remember that it's all in your head

I ain't happy, I'm feelin glad
I got sunshine in a bag
I'm useless, but not for long the future is comin' on

I ain't happy, I' m feelin' glad
I got sunshine in a bag
I'm useless, but not for long my future is comin' on
it's comin' on it's comin' on it's comin' on it's comin' on
My future is comin' on,
it's comin' on, it's comin' on, it's comin' on, it's comin' on
My future is comin' on,
it's comin' on, it's comin' on, it's comin' on, it's comin' on
My future is comin' on,
it's comin' on, it's comin' on,
My future is comin' on,
it's comin' on, it's comin' on,
My future is comin' on,
it's comin' on, it's comin' on,
My future

I just remembered this song yesterday and was listening to it.
Gorillaz are great.

I'm a huge fan of Gorillaz (just saw them in October) and I love this song.
Interesting bit of information I wanted to point out. The verse lyrics are were written and performed by guest rapper Del the Funky Homosapien (who happens to be the cousin of rapper and 'Are We There Yet?' star Ice Cube). Where most rappers seem to lean towards expensive liquors and marijuana, Del happens to be a avid psychedelic drug user, which I find interesting when reading these lyrics..
