Pop stomp with Clem Burke on the drums

lyrics

AUTOMATIC

I’m just an ordinary guy, with an ordinary face,
In an ordinary town, full of ordinary people.
And I’ve got an ordinary job, with an ordinary firm,
We make ordinary things, for the ordinary world.

Through nine to five it’s such an endless bore,
It doesn’t matter to me,
There’s a smile on my face, as I walk the human race,
As long as I’ve got you then it’s automatic, it’s sunshine.
There’s not a cloud in the sky, as the world goes passing by,
As long as I’ve got you then it’s automatic, it’s sunshine.

And we’ve got ordinary kids, they catch an ordinary bus,
To their ordinary school, full of ordinary teachers.
And in that ordinary bus, they pass an ordinary church,
Full of ordinary prayer, full of ordinary preachers.

With you around I’m never in the shade,
You’re always shining on me,
There’s a smile on my face, as I walk the human race,
As long as I’ve got you then it’s automatic, it’s sunshine.
There’s not a cloud in the sky, as the world goes passing by,
As long as I’ve got you then it’s automatic, it’s sunshine.

It’s automatically you, it’s automatic it’s sunshine
It’s automatically, it’s automatically you
Oh, there’s a smile on my face, as I walk the human race,
As long as I’ve got you then it’s automatic, it’s sunshine.
There’s not a cloud in the sky, as the world goes passing by,
As long as I’ve got you then it’s automatic, it’s sunshine.

Yeah, there’s a smile on my face, as I walk the human race,
As long as I’ve got you then it’s automatic, it’s sunshine.
There’s not a cloud in the sky, as the world goes passing by...
