  • Heavy night, it was a heavy night
    Feels like we've come back from the dead
    Heavy night, it was a heavy night
    I cannot remember what I said to anyone

    If we get up now we can catch the afternoon
    Watch the under fifteens playing football in the park
    Let's sit in St. Leonard's on this alcoholic day
    We're doing the best with what we've got

    I'll love you in the morning
    When you're still hung-over
    I'll love you in the morning
    When you're still strung out
    I'll love you in the morning

    I work hard all week, and so do you
    We deserve to let off some steam
    Less orthodox, creeping
    When we need to rage through this life

    There might be ones who are smarter than you
    That have the right answers, that wear better shoes
    Forget about those melting ice caps
    We're doing the best with what we've got

    I'll love you in the morning
    When you're still hung-over
    I'll love you in the morning
    When you're still strung out

    When I'm with you I am calm
    A pearl in your oyster
    Head on my chest, a silent smile
    A private kind of happiness

    You see giant proclamations are all very well
    But our love is louder than words

    When I'm with you I am calm
    A pearl in your oyster
    Head on my chest, a silent smile
    A private kind of happiness (I'll love you in the morning)

    When I'm with you I am calm (I'll love you in the morning)
    A pearl in your oyster (I'll love you in the morning)
    Head on my chest, a silent smile (I'll love you in the morning)
    A private kind of happiness (I'll love you in the morning)

    When I'm with you I am calm (I'll love you in the morning)
    A pearl in your oyster (I'll love you in the morning)
    Head on my chest, a silent smile (I'll love you in the morning)
    A private kind of happiness (I'll love you in the morning)

    I'll love you in the morning
    I'll love you in the morning
    I'll love you in the morning
    I'll love you in the morning
    I'll love you in the morning Writer/s: GORDON MOAKES, KELE OKEREKE, MATT TONG, RUSSELL LISSACK

  • Chris from Preston, United KingdomHuh?? Esere is right when the album was released kele wrote an artical on the bloc party website to describe song after song including music etc. Sunday was written about that morning period after a big saturday night while still feeling the same and enjoying the company of the gf/bf you wake up with. The lyric 'when your still srung out' refers to the fact that the gf will still be loved even if she is in a state in the morning after the big night. Kele also said that the drum beat at the beginning of the song was written to express that feeling of your head when you wake after a big night. i.e. a hangover!
  • Esere from Nigeria, OtherThe song is actually about a hangover on a morning that two lovers have after having a crazy saturday weekend in the city. Its about how two people can overlook their present state of being drunk and still love themselves and appreciate each other.
  • Sven from Huntington Beach, CaThat's not what this song is about, that's what On is about. This is about promiscuity and one night stands!

    "I'll love you in the morning..when you're still strung out"

    It's supposed to be ironic, because nobody should care about a one night stand in the morning; especially if they are hung over.
