The Outdoor Type
(Originally by Tom Morgan, written for The Lemonheads)

I always had a roof above me, I always paid the rent,
And I never set foot inside a tent.
I couldn't build a fire to save my life -
I lied about being the outdoor type.

Well I never slept out underneath the stars.
The closest that I came to that was this time when my car
Broke down for an hour in the suburbs at night.
I lied about being the outdoor type.

Too scared to let you know that you knew what you were looking for,
I lied until I fit the bill - God bless the Great Indoors.
I lied about being the outdoor type -
I never owned a sleeping bag, let alone a mountain bike.

I can't go away with you on a rock-climbing weekend.
What if something's on TV that's never shown again?
It's just as well I'm not invited, because I'm afraid of heights.
I lied about being the outdoor type.
I never learned to swim - can't grow a beard, or even fight.
I lied about being the outdoor type.

You Are My Sunshine
(Originally by Jimmy Davis and Charles Mitchell)

You Are My Sunshine
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.

The other night, dear,
As I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms.
When I awoke, dear,
I was mistaken
And I hung my head and cried.

I'll always love you
And make you happy
If you will only say the same
But if you leave me
To love another
You'll regret it all some day.

You told me once, dear
You really loved me
And no one else could come between
But now you've left me
And love another
You have shattered all my dreams.
