lyrics
(a factory gate rolls open) (oh-oh... oh-oh-oh) Hi-vis jacket, frost on the ground Four-thirty and the town's asleep We are the ones who make no sound We are the promises they keep Every loaf was proofed by three (by three, by three) Every light you wake to see (we lit, we lit) We hold up the sun! (up the sun!) Before the day knows it's begun We hold up the sun! (up the sun!) For everyone, for everyone We hold up the sun! (up the sun!) So it's warm before you rise We hold up the sun! (up the sun!) Then we hand it to your eyes Flour on my arms up to the elbow First bus growling at the depot The nurse walks out as I walk in We pass the morning, kin to kin If you woke to a world switched on (switched on, switched on) Someone carried it through the dark (through the dark, through the dark) We hold up the sun! (up the sun!) Before the day knows it's begun We hold up the sun! (up the sun!) For everyone, for everyone We hold up the sun! (up the sun!) So it's warm before you rise We hold up the sun! (up the sun!) Then we hand it to your eyes (the gate rolls down) Sleep well... we've got the sun
