Drag my, drag my, drag my, drag my, drag my, drag my, drag myDrag myself from my bed, around twenty past sixGet my kids up, make breakfast, one egg, two toasts, three WeetabixAnd as I sit down, I look up, and you're standing in the doorwaySun at your back, in my old brown dressing gownWell, no one could love you more than I love you nowBut I gotta go, running for the bus, cold flyingAnd I'm trying not to miss it this time, but the driver's waitingAnd that strange kid's on the top deck, quiet for a changeAnd there's no rain, and no roadworks in a bus laneAnd all my hurts run awayAnd I'm smiling, as I'm punching inThe day I died was the best day of my lifeThe day I died was the best day of my lifeTell my friends and my kids and my wifeEverything will be alrightThe day I died was the best day of my lifeSecretaries, they got a smile for meAnd the in-tray on my desk's almost emptyI get a memo from Executive Joe sayingRub the gupp, it's getting kicked out for freeEmbezzling funds from the company accountAnd I'd be lying if I said I wasn't chuffedCause I always hated RobAnd now they'll probably offer me Rob's old jobAnd in the park at lunch, there's no oneI was on my favourite benchAnd all that drunk chat and all that greasy stenchAnd the scrawny little pigeons with the gammy legsDecide to dive on someone else's sandwich insteadAnd there's something about this city todayLike all the colours conspired to overwhelm the greyAnd this, close to the fire, I can feel no fearI'm cold with the rainbow halo around my soulThe day I died was the best day of my lifeThe day I died was the best day of my lifeTell my friends and my kids and my wifeEverything will be alrightThe day I died was the best day of my lifeSo I leave or I get to the high streetAnd I miss my houseShould I wait for another? No, I can't be arsedI begin to hook up my shower glassInto one of the red seaAnd I'm stopping at the offayTwenty cigarettes and a six pack to relax meAnd as I cross back over the streetI guess I never saw that taxiI guess I never saw that taxiThe day I died was the best day of my lifeThe day I died was the best day of my lifeTell my friends and my kids and my wifeEverything will be alrightThe day I died was the best day of my lifeEverything will be alrightEverything will be alrightEverything will be alrightEverything will be alright
