Sally Cinnamon

Stone Roses · The Very Best Of Stone Roses [2002]

Until sally I was never happy

I needed so much more

Rain clouds oh, they used to chase me

Down they would pour

Join my tears

Allay my fears



Sent to me from heaven

Sally cinnamon you're my world



Pop, pop, pop, blow, blow bubble gum

You taste of cherryade

There is something hey you must show me

From what you are made



Sugar and spice

And all things nice



Sent to me from heaven

Sally cinnamon you're my world

You are my world



Your eyes are gazing back

From every little piece of glass

You seem to smile from every blade

Sally cinnamon you are my world



Then I put the letter back

In the place where it was found

In the pocket of a jacket

On a train in town



Sent to her from heaven

Sally cinnamon you're her world
