The Day I Called It A Day Lyrics

Housemartins The Day I Called It A Day

Looking over my shoulder
I can feel myself getting older
The weather is getting colder
The day I called it a day (I called it a day)

The older generation were praying
The younger generation were graying
Tradition is finally staying
The day I called it a day

[Chorus:]
Just you see (The day I called it a day)
You'll agree
If you climb that tree (The day I called it a day)
You've been sold (The day I called it a day)
Bought and sold
And now you're out in the cold (The day I called it a
day)

Brains were gradually shrinking
There were fewer people thinking
The people's breath was stinking
The day I called it a day (I called it a day)
And now you're in a state
Where you're only used as bait
You left it far too late
The day I called it a day (I called it a day)

(Chorus)

The day I called it a day (The day I called it a day)
(Repeat 3x)

The day.... uh oh oh
The day I called it a day (The day I called it a day)

The day day day day day day day day day
The day I called it a day (The day I called it a day)
