Technicolor Daydream

Porkandham The first full-length from Sun Junkies is absolutely definitive. From the get go, you know that you're in for a hell of a catchy ride. Though the music sounds cheery, the lyrics are often not. This isn't a bad thing! The melodic lines running through all of these songs along with a kickass rhythm section portray a bittersweet depiction of youth, with all the good and bad. The songs are ridiculously well rehearsed too, as Sun Junkies remains probably one of the best bands I've seen live. So good! Favorite track: Choppin'.

Sometimes 03:20
So can you Come get me Cuz I'm so fucked up that I can’t breathe I should Have warned you About the dumb shit That I do I'm wasting all your time Trying bad to make you mine But I guess I gotta go And you gotta stay behind Oooooh sometimes No they won't So I will You’ll work your ass off To pay bills But I think We're still young The world is dying Let's have some fun
2.
New Tropics 02:31
Everybody's talkin I can't contain my head so My body is telling me that I should go I don't think we'll meet again but I can hope Memories are all Ive got when I'm alone Downtown girls really make my head spin If you take me home with you we both win They talk about conspiracies and dumb shit But all I wanna do in life is just live Debts for college even though we're dead broke Sometimes I feel life is just a sick joke Punchlines never really make me laugh though Thought that I'd enjoy myself but I don't
3.
MDMA 03:58
And now it's summer time You've got me feelin so good Like it's the end of time And it feels just like it should And I've been stealing all the water bottles, wasted I guess And girl I think I love you even though we just met So come on And I don't care what you say Just by the fire Man I could stay here all day And I got nothing To worry 'bout anyway Cuz I just need you Cuz you're my MDMA And no I wouldn't mind Cuz you did all that you could While I've been doing lines Just so I feel like I should And I've been stealing all the water bottles, wasted I guess And girl I think I love you even though we just met
4.
Choppin' 03:47
I need a lot of cash I gotta make it fast They told me “chop down trees For paper industries” So I went to the hardware store It's hard to stop in the automatic doors But on the other side There was a man who asked What are you looking for I said I need an axe They gave me a plaid shirt And said to go to work I wanna pay rent And lose my student debts But thinking back to school I never used a tool And yet they'll wonder why I drove that axe into my eye
5.
Sunk 03:48
Even when nothing's going right You make me forget what I look like And all the time we wasted inside It makes me forget Cuz you make me forget And I like that I could try to remember if you wanted But I prefer the way you look at me instead Cuz all these photographs have stolen my soul And in front of my mirror I've grown so fucking old When I'd rather live in your head I think I'm just distracted But that don't make me apathetic to you Now that we've sunken into each other I don't give a fuck, It's just whatever we do
6.
But it's new and I wanna try it It's the same old shit we used to do It's the same, same as you baby blue If I say I don't want you I'm lying But there's voices talking in my head I'm the same old schizophrenic mess They're getting closer ever closer To making sense Getting old so I've gotta stop this I don't wanna think but how bout you? But I know Yeah I know That I want it too If he gets drunk and he gets mad yeah he gets pissed
7.
Sundaze 04:59
Technicolor Daydream Oh how you amaze me Technicolor Daydream You've got me feeling lazy Cuz darling you're a painting, oh so fine And all your little details blow my mind Been living in a daydream I hope you wanna waste me Cuz every Sunday I get so dazed Technicolor Daydream You've got me going crazy Technicolor Daydream You're my "Sexy Sadie" Cuz darling you're a painting, oh so fine And all your little details blow my mind Techinocolor daydream I hope you wanna waste me The yellow brick road doesn't tell me where to go sometimes And the strawberry fields feel awfully ripe this time of year
8.
Cocaine Eyes 04:04
There's not a lot that I could say When the skies are always gray I think of you It's just what I do Bleached blonde and overdue There's not a thing that I could do to make you mine But that's quite alright Well in your cocaine eyes I'm telling all these lies To your cocaine eyes I hope there's times you think of me I hope it makes you wanna scream Is that okay? Well I'm not okay And we negotiate our lives And all the ways we're wasting time but don't do a thing I think that's your thing And every time in your cocaine eyes
9.
Make Up Sex 01:48
Oh Serotonin Where are you going? Oh won’t you stay with me tomorrow Oh darling won’t you Stay with me Oh won’t you stay with me Because I must come clean And tell you I don’t just wanna fuck Cuz your make-up sex Gets me so depressed It’s like I’m making love With a goddamn mess And I know that you won’t meet me tomorrow And when you don't I will drown in my sorrow
10.
I'm So Tired 04:38
Your insides are selling you out They'll make sure you never leave your couch Talking shit about something With knots in your stomach Keeling over from the pain of your doubt I'm so I'm so I'm so tired You think you're dying slowly Wonder if you'll ever see forty You've only got so much time left So why be all by yourself? I'll bring you flowers when you meet me in hell I'm so I'm so I'm so tired
11.
Shut Me Up 03:15
12.
If you get me out of my head I will show you what I do And if you really give me patience then I do mind helping you And if you really want an answer yeah I think I caught The Next Blues I think I need to calm my soul and calm my mind Cuz I'll die all for you And I'll try to quit you And I'd rather just be dreaming but I'm living my damn life So I'll take a walk go outside and you'll really easy my mind You're the thing that I'll adore most While you kill me over time I think I need to calm my soul and ease my mind
13.
Forever 01:08
14.
Well I've been sitting in my room Thinking bout you I'll write a thousand songs And stay up all night long I'm probably wasting breath I'm probably wasting time At least it fights the urge To gouge out both my eyes And you can't turn me down If I never even try So when I go to sleep Don't wake me up this time
