Just Jack The Day The Died
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 your standing in the door way sunning your back, in my old brown dressingown, well no one could love you more than i love you now. but i, gotta go, running for the bus, cold flying, and im trying not to miss it this time, but the drivers waiting, and thats strange, kids on the top deck quiet for a change ,and there's, no rain or roadworks in the, bus lane, and all my hurts run away, and i'm smiling as im 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 that everything will be alright, the day i died was the best day of my life, secreteries, they gotta smile for me, and the intray on my desk almost empty, i get a memo from exeutive joe saying rob, the gob, is getting kicked out for imbezziling funds from the company account, and i'd be lying if i said i wasn't chuffed cuz i've always hated rob, and now they'll probablly offer me robs old job, and in the park at lunch, there's no one im on my favorite bench, not even that drunk chap or any of that greasy stench, and the scrawny little pigoens with the gammy legs, decide to dive for someone elses sandwichs instead, and there's something about this city today, like all the colours conspire to overwelm the gray, and it's 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 that everything will be alright, the day i died was the best day of my life, so i leave work, get to the highstreet and i miss my bus, shall i wait for another no i cant be asked, i begin to walk, a rush hour crowd seem to part like the red sea, and im stopping a tthe offie, twenty cigerites 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 that everything will be alright, the day i died was the best day of my life.
