Send "when the sun hits" Ringtone to Cell

Sweet thing, I watch you
Burn so fast it scares me

My game, please don't leave me
Come so far, don't lose me
It matters where you are

As the sun hits, she'll be waiting
With the coffins under heaven
Hey hey lover, you're still burning
You're his song yeah (hey hey)

Sweet thing, I watch you
Burn so fast it scares me

My game, don't lose me
Come so far don't lose me
It matters where you are

As the sun hits, she'll be waiting
With the coffins under heaven
Hey hey lover, you're still burning
You're his song yeah (hey hey)

Sweet thing I watch you (burn away)

    Lyric Correction:"with the coffins under heaven" should be "with her cool things, and her heaven" - doesn't make any more sense that way, but that's how it goes!

    other corrections:
    should be "mind games" not "my game"

    and "hey hey lover, you still burn me, you're a song", "not "burning / his song"

    Lyric Correction:Does anyone have any source for these lyrics? There's another version floating around(slowdivedatabase.com/index.php/Slowdive/…), and I think it has some correct parts.
    I haven't found any official source, but I haven't looked too hard. A pic of the liners or something would be cool...

    General Comment:The vocal hook on the chorus of this song reminds me a lot of Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit." Of course I think Nirvana were terribly overrated and I'd listen to "When The Sun Hits" a hundred times before that grunge anthem.

    General Comment:it seems like almost all the songs on souvlaki are love songs. then the fact that rachel and neil broke up before the writing and recording of the record and most songs are written by neil anyway. gives you a little insight into what these songs could be about.
