Morning Sun
Unveiling the Dawn: The Hidden Depths of 'Morning Sun' by The Normas
Lyrics
Hopping bars hoping my credit card won't bounce
Concern about financial limitations, hoping the credit card won't be declined while visiting bars
Mother dear you know she checks all the accounts
Reference to the speaker's mother monitoring their financial activities
Switching drinks but you won't shake my hand
Unwillingness to shake hands, possibly due to switching drinks or avoiding physical contact
I've tasted more than I wanted ma'am
Having experienced more than intended or expected
Try me on and you might make me a man
Suggesting that trying the speaker might lead to their maturity or growth
You can have me in the evening
Availability or willingness to engage with someone in the evening
You won't want me in the morning sun
Anticipation that the person won't desire the speaker in the morning, possibly hinting at regret or changing feelings
In the morning sun
Reiteration of being undesirable in the morning sunlight
I'm a mourning sun
Play on words - "mourning sun" as a sad or regretful presence in the morning
In the morning sun
Reiteration of being unattractive or unwanted in the morning sunlight
Kissing babies posing proud yeah keep up that front
Engaging in activities that project a positive image despite internal feelings of being unwanted
It's only time you're a wanted man out of luck
Recognition that being wanted is temporary or based on luck
Waking up in a bed that isn't mine
Waking up in an unfamiliar bed, indicating a lack of stability or commitment in relationships
Tuck me in if you're feeling so inclined
Asking for comfort or care if the other person feels inclined to provide it
Before I change my mind
Suggesting a hesitation or uncertainty before making a decision
You can have me in the evening
Repeated indication of willingness to engage in the evening
You won't want me in the morning sun
Reiteration of the expectation that the person won't desire the speaker in the morning
In the morning sun
Reiteration of being undesirable in the morning sunlight
I'm a mourning sun
Continuation of the play on words, implying a melancholic presence in the morning
In the morning sun
Reiteration of being unattractive or unwanted in the morning sunlight
