Karaoké The Day I Died Just Jack

Drag myself from my bed around twenty past six

Get my kids up make breakfast

One egg two toasts three Weetabix

And as I sit down I look up and your 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 trying not to miss it this time but the driver's 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 desk's 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

'Cos I always hated Rob and now they'll probably offer me Rob's old job

And in the park at lunch

There's no winos 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 dine from someone else's sandwich instead

And there's something about the city today

Like all the colours conspire to overwhelm the grey

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 ah ah ah
