Sunny Side of the Street
McFly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cause I'll show you something
That you won't believe
I'll make you love me
The next time we meet
On the sunny side of the street
Tchu tchu tchu ru, tchu tchu tchu ru
So many colours like ...
number has kept me alive
So when you're down
Come to me on the sunny side of the street
Tchu tchu tchu ru, tchu tchu tchu ru
[on the sunny side of the street] [2x]
Take a step out of the shade
And give your heart away
Believe it's somewhere
It's easy to find
Just close your eyes, go hear it beat
Oh, on the sunny side of the street
Parara pã, parara pã, parara pã, parara pã
Oh, Next time you're walking,
you best follow me
Cause I'll show you something
That you won't believe
I'll make you love me
the next time we meet
On the sunny side of the street
Tchu tchu tchu ru, tchu tchu tchu ru
On the sunny side of the street [2x]
On the sunny side, on the sunny side
Take a step out of the shade
and give your heart away
Believe it's somewhere
It's easy to find
Just close your eyes,
Go hear it beat
Oh, on the sunny side of the street [3x]
Parara pã, parara pã, parara pã, parara pã

Consequently, I would never get to know McFly, know their personalities, hear their amazing albums, or be a devoted fan of them like I am now. That one song's impression would be an everlasting thing in my life which caused me to miss out on their awesome music! However, if I came across a song like Lonely, That Girl, or Transylvania, I would keep searching more of their songs and search them on wikipedia and try to learn more about them as musicians and people. (true story).

I've been a HUGE long time fan of my beloved McFly. And I know that many people have agreed that they've changed a lot! If I were a person who had just discovered McFly on youtube and came across one of their new songs, such as Party Girl or Foolish, my impression of them would be totally different compared to their old style. I probably wouldn't even finish listening to the song before I just continued my band hunt, finding other “better” bands and not returning back to McFly.
