The Day I Died Lyrics - Singles - Just Jack

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 can love you more than I love you now 

But I gotta go, running for the bus 

Coat flying and I try not to miss it this time 

But the drivers 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 hurts run away 

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 desks 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 

'Cause I always hated Rob 

And now they'll probably offer me Robs old job 

And in the park at lunch 

There's no whinos on my favorite bench 

None of that drunk chatter, none of that pissy stench 

And the scrawny little pigeons with the gammy legs 

Decide to dive bomb from someone else's sandwich instead 

And there's something about the city today 

Like all the colors conspire to overwhelm the gray 

And this close to the fire I can feel no cold 

But 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 arsed, I begin to walk 

And rush hour crowd seem to part like the red sea 

And I'm stopping at the offy 

Twenty 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 

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
