The Day I Died Songtext
Dragged myself from my bed around 20 past 6
Get my kids up, make breakfast
One egg, two toast, three Weetabix
And as I sit down, I look up
And you′re standing in the doorway, sun at your back
In my old brown dressing gown
Well no one could love you more than I love you now
But I gotta go, runnin' for the bus
Coat flyin′ and I'm tryin' not to miss it this time
But the driver′s waitin′ and that's strange
Kids on the top deck - quiet for a change
And there′s no rain and no road works
In the bus lane and all my hurts run - away
And I'm smilin′ as I'm punchin′ in
The day I died was the best day of my life x2
Tell my friends and my kids and my wife
Everything will be all right
The day I died was the best day of my life
Secretaries have got a smile for me
And the in tray on my desk's almost empty
I get a memo from executive Joe
Saying Rob-the-Gob is getting kicked out
For embezzlin' funds from the company account
And I′d be lying if I said I wasn′t chuffed
'Cause I always hated Rob
And now they′ll probably offer me Rob's old job
And in the park at lunch there′s no winos on my favourite bench
None of that drunk chatter, none of that pissy stench
And the scrawny little pigeons with their gammy legs
Decide to dine from someone else's sandwich instead
And there′s something about the city today
Like all the colours conspired to overwhelm the grey
And this close to the fire I can feel no cold
With a rainbow halo around my soul
The day I died was the best day of my life x2
Tell my friends and my kids and my wife
Everything will be all right
The day I died was the best day of my life
So I leave work, get to the high street
And I miss my bus, should I wait for another?
No I can't be arsed I begin to walk
And the rush hour crowd seems to part like the red sea
And I'm stoppin′ at the offy
20 cigarettes and a six-pack to relax me
And as I cross back over the street
I guess I never saw that taxi
The day I died was the best day of my life x2
Tell my friends and my kids and my wife
Everything will be all right
The day I died was the best day of my life
Get my kids up, make breakfast
One egg, two toast, three Weetabix
And as I sit down, I look up
And you′re standing in the doorway, sun at your back
In my old brown dressing gown
Well no one could love you more than I love you now
But I gotta go, runnin' for the bus
Coat flyin′ and I'm tryin' not to miss it this time
But the driver′s waitin′ and that's strange
Kids on the top deck - quiet for a change
And there′s no rain and no road works
In the bus lane and all my hurts run - away
And I'm smilin′ as I'm punchin′ in
The day I died was the best day of my life x2
Tell my friends and my kids and my wife
Everything will be all right
The day I died was the best day of my life
Secretaries have got a smile for me
And the in tray on my desk's almost empty
