Drag myself from my bed
Around twenty past six
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
running for the bus
coat flying and I'm trying
not to miss it this time
but the driver's waiting
And that's strange
kids on the top deck
quiet for a change
and there's
No rain and no roadworks
in the
bus lane
and all my hurt's
run a-way
And I'm smiling
as I'm punching in
The day I died
was the best day
of my life
The day I died
was the best day
of my life
Tell my friends
and my kids
and my wife
everything will be alright
The day I died
was the best day
of my life
The secretaries
they 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 embezzling funds
from the
company account
And I'd be lying
if I said I wasn't chuffed
'cos I've always hated Rob
And now they'll probably
offer me Rob's old job
I'm in the park at lunch
there's no wino's
on my favourite bench
None of that
drunk chatter
none of that
greasy stench
And the scrawny little
pigeons with the gammy
legs decide to dine from
someone else's sandwich
instead
And there's something
about this city today
like all the colours
conspire 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
The day I died
was the best day
of my life
Tell my friends
and my kids
and my wife
everything will be alright
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 a***d
I begin to walk
and rush hour crowds
seem to part
like the Red Sea
And I'm stopping at the offy
20 cigarettes and a 6 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
The day I died
was the best day
of my life
Tell my friends
and my kids
and my wife
everything will be alright
The day I died
was the best day
of my life...
