A Day in the Life (second take) Songtext
von Jamie Lenman

I wake in the dark and I don′t complain
(Hear now, listen all who can)
I ride to the city on a South West train
(A day in the life of a modern man)
The beggars and the bankers, all the buggers I see
(Hear now, listen all who can)
I don't trust them and they don′t trust me
(A day in the life of a modern man)

Father (father), mother (mother)
Sister (sister), brother (brother)
I've been this way since I began
(A day in the life of a modern man)
(A day in the life of a modern man)


Stare all day at a monitor screen
(Hear now, listen all who can)
With a Slim-Fast shake in the old canteen
(A day in the life of a modern man)
Half past five, "Will you have a few beers?"
(Hear now, listen all who can)
"Just a pint of diet coke and I'm off back, cheers"
(A day in the life of a modern man)

Father (father), mother (mother)
Sister (sister), brother (brother)
No song I can sing truer than
(A day in the life of a modern man)
(A day in the life of a modern man)

Go home in the dark and I eat my tea
(Hear now, listen all who can)
Just the wife and me and the BBC
(A day in the life of a modern man)
I might see a film with a couple of the boys
(Hear now, listen all who can)
Or gather up the band for to make some noise
(A day in the life of a modern man)

Father (father), mother (mother)
Sister (sister), brother (brother)
From New Orleans to old Japan
(A day in the life of a modern man)
(A day in the life of a modern man)


The birds all sing as I rest my head
With a good sweet girl lying in my bed
(A day in the life of a modern man)
I might have troubles and I might give a damn
(Hear now, listen all who can)
But I don′t forget how lucky I am
(A day in the life of a modern man)

Oh, father (father), mother (mother)
Sister (sister), brother (brother)
From dawn nightfall, thus it ran
(A day in the life of a modern man)

Oh, yes, father (father), mother (mother)
Sister (sister), brother (brother)
For Angus, Harold, and for Dan
(A day in the life of a modern man)
(A day in the life of a modern man)
