dragged myself from my bed around 20 past 6 get my kids up make breakfast one egg two toast three weetabix and as i sit down i look up and youre 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 runnin for the bus coat flyin and im tryin not to miss it this time but the drivers waitin and thats strange kids on the top deck quiet for a change and theres no rain and no road works in the bus lane and all my hurts run away and im smilin as im punchin in the day i died was the best day of my life tell my friends and my kids and my wife everything will be all right the day i died was the best day of my life secretaries have 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 embezzlin funds from the company account and id be lying if i said i wasnt chuffed cause i always hated rob and now theyll probably offer me robs old job and in the park at lunch theres no winos on my favourite bench none of that drunk chatter none of that pissy stench and the scrawny little pigeons with their gammy legs decide to dive bomb someone elses sandwich instead and theres something about the city today like all the colours conspired 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 tell my friends and my kids and my wife everything will be all right 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 cant be arsed i begin to walk and the rush hour crowd seems to part like the red sea and im stoppin at the offy 20 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 tell my friends and my kids and my wife everything will be all right the day i died was the best day of my life
