Steal My Sunshine

About Steal My Sunshine

"Steal My Sunshine" is a song by Canadian band Len, composed by band member Marc Costanzo with a writing credit to Gregg Diamond. It was released in July 1999 as the lead single from their third album You Can't Stop the Bum Rush. The indie pop track became a sleeper hit when radio stations began playing it in March 1999, four months before Len planned to release their album. "Steal My Sunshine" had a commercial single release in July 1999, eventually reaching number three in Canada, Australia and Ireland, number eight on the UK Singles Chart, and number nine on the US Billboard Hot 100. It received positive reviews from music critics, and its chart success caused Len to be considered a one-hit wonder. The song earned a nomination for "Best Single" at the Juno Awards of 2000. The backdrop is based on a sample of a short instrumental portion of the Andrea True Connection's 1976 disco single "More, More, More", which Diamond wrote and composed specifically for the Connection's lead singer, former porn star Andrea True. Supposedly inspired by The Human League's 1981 synthpop hit "Don't You Want Me", the song's vocals alternate between Marc and Sharon Costanzo. Gregg Diamond, who was given songwriting credit as the original author-composer of "More, More, More", died three months before the album was released. more »

 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

I was lying on the grass on Sunday morning of last week 
Indulging in my self defeat 
My mind was thugged all laced and bugged all twisted wrong and beat 
A comfortable three feet deep 

Now the fuzzy stare from not being there on a confusing morning weak 
Impaired my tribal lunar speak 
And of course you can't become if you only say what you would have done 
So I missed a million miles of fun 

I know it's up for me 
If you steal my sunshine 
Making sure I'm not in too deep 
If you steal my sunshine 

Keeping versed and on my feet 
Check, c'mere c'mere, c'mere 
Wow, look at her 
I know 

I've never seen Sharon look so bad before 
I did once before, but this is pretty bad 
Yeah, what do you think she got up to last night? 
Ha ha ha 

Well, I, Karen I love you 
I was lying on the bench slide in the park across the street 
L-a-t-e-are that week 
My sticky paws were in to making straws out of big fat slurpy treats 

An incredible eight foot heap 
Now the funny glare to pay a gleaming tare in a staring under heat 
Involved an under usual feet 
And I'm not only among but I invite who I want to come 
So I missed a million miles of fun 

I know it's up for me 
If you steal my sunshine 
Making sure I'm not in too deep 
If you steal my sunshine 
Keeping versed and on my feet 

I know it's done for me 
If you steal my sunshine 
Not as some and hard to see 
If you steal my sunshine 

Keeping dumb and built to beat 
If you steal my sunshine 

My sunshine 
If you steal my sunshine
