about

This song is about the way we look at ourselves. While we may not be happy with what we see, that's only our brains playing dirty tricks on us. We should move past those feelings and enjoy being who we are more.

lyrics

The reflections from the river
They aren't true cos' of the way that they shimmer
Don't take any notice baby
You're pretty when you're so lazy
Don't moan about the things you can't control
Just try to enjoy the things you can hold
Let's pump our hearts with glory
Why see the bad things surely

We must try to find
The better times let's put the past behind
The light is brighter at the end of the tunnel
The dark with fall away so laugh and cuddle now

The sun is rising on the better times
It's the better times baby
The darkness has gone now
So let's get up, stand up, and move on out
The day is dawning don't get worried now
So lets get to work baby
Cos when the music's pumping we'll say
It's time to party all night and day

So the bad thoughts coming back yeah
You can't shake 'em whatever I tell ya
Just knock 'em for six now baby
You can see I won't call you crazy
I'll tell ya the shell around your soul is just as pretty as your heart so I suppose
Just make the next step for me
I hope I look that good at 40

We must try to find
The better times let's put the past behind
The light is brighter at the end of the tunnel
The dark with fall away so laugh and cuddle now

The sun is rising on the better times
It's the better times baby
The darkness has gone now
So let's get up, stand up, and move on out
The day is dawning don't get worried now
So lets get to work baby
Cos when the music's pumping we'll say
It's time to party all night and day

I'm just gunna have to toughen you up now
I'll have to tell ya that I'm loving your hair now
I'm just gunna have to ruffle you up
You gotta realise that you're beautiful somehow
I'm just gunna have to toughen you up now
I'll have to tell ya that I'm loving your hair now
I'm just gunna have to ruffle you up
You gotta realise that you're beautiful somehow

The sun is rising on the better times
It's the better times baby
The darkness has gone now
So let's get up, stand up, and move on out
The day is dawning don't get worried now
So lets get to work baby
Cos when the music's pumping we'll say
It's time to party all night and day
