Sonic Youth - Sunday
Sunday comes alone again
A perfect day for a quiet friend
And you - you will set it free
I see new morning yound yr face
Everybody sez it's another phase
And now - now it's come to me
See the magic in yr eyes
I see it come as no surprise
And you - you turn yr eyes away
Yeah you - you turn it all away
I guess it's true it's never too late
Still I don't know what to do today
Oh why - can't I set you free
Will you - do the same for me
Sunday comes and sunday goes
Sunday always seems to move so slow
To me - here she comes again
A perfect ending to a perfect day
A perfect ending what can I say
To you - lonely sunday friend
With you - sunday never ends
"Sunday" is a song by American alternative rock band Sonic Youth. It was released in 1998 by record label Geffen as the first and only single from their tenth studio album "A Thousand Leaves". It reached No. 72 in the UK Singles Chart. A different recording of the song was also featured on the soundtrack of the film SubUrbia. The song's riff was 'borrowed' from Helium's song "Skeleton". One of the single's B-sides, "Moist Vagina", was originally by Nirvana, who were friends of the band and appeared in the film 1991: The Year Punk Broke while touring with Sonic Youth. The video for "Sunday" was directed by Harmony Korine and starred Macaulay Culkin and Rachel Miner. The video made liberal use of slow- and fast-motion cameras and images of ballerinas dancing and Culkin playing a banjo and interacting with Miner.
