SUNDAY MORNING
(T. Kanal, G. Stefani, E. Stefani)
from the album Tragic
Kingdom
Complete with a video which ends up with the band in a food fight, "Sunday Morning" just may be THE favorite song from the Tragic Kingdom album. It was the set opener at some shows, and later became the song in the set where Gwen would introduce the band and have a call and response (previously it had been "Spiderwebs"). A slow portion was added to the beginning of live versions of the song in late 1996. The song came about when Tony was serenanding a very sick Gwen outside the bathroom door.
One, two, three, four...
Sappy pathetic little me
That was the girl I used to be
You had me on my knees
I'd trade you places any day
I'd never thought you could be that way
But you looked like me on Sunday
Oh you came in with the breeze
On Sunday morning
You sure have changed since yesterday
Without any warning
I thought I knew you (whoa)
I thought I knew you (whoa)
I thought I knew you well... so well
You're trying my shoes on for a change
They look so good but fit so strange
Out of fashion, so I can't complain
Oh you came in with the breeze
On Sunday morning
You sure have changed since yesterday
Without any warning
I thought I knew you (whoa)
I thought I knew you (whoa)
I thought I knew you well... so well
I know who I am, but who are you?
You're not looking like you used to
You're on the other side of the mirror
So nothing's looking quite as clear
Thank you for turning on the lights
Thank you, now you're the parasite
I didn't think you had it in you
And now you're looking like I used to!
You came in with the breeze
On Sunday morning
You sure have changed since yesterday
Without any warning
And you want me badly
'Cause you cannot have me
I thought I knew you (whoa)
But I've got a new view (whoa)
I thought I knew you so well... oh well
Ooh on Sunday morning
Without a warning
Sunday morning
I thought I knew you
Sunday morning
Ooh you want me badly
Cannot have me
Sunday morning
Sunday morning
Sunday morning
