The Day I Died (Jay's Radio Mix) - Just Jack

[00:02.040]Drag myself from my bed
[00:04.139]Around 20 past 6
[00:06.998]Get my kids up make breakfast
[00:08.808]1 egg 2 toast 3 weetabix
[00:11.880]
[00:12.068]And as i sit down i look up
[00:14.798]And your standing in the doorway sun at your back
[00:17.268]In my old brown dressing gown
[00:19.878]Well no one can love you more than i love you now, but i
[00:22.878]
[00:23.989]Gotta go running for the bus
[00:26.118]Coat flying and i try not to miss it this time
[00:28.919]But the drivers waiting and that’s strange
[00:31.990]Kids on the top deck quiet for a change
[00:34.930]And there’s no rain and no roadworks
[00:38.200]In the bus lane and all my hurts run away
[00:43.250]And im smiling as i’m punching in
[00:45.830]
[00:46.870]The day i died was the best day of my life
[00:52.870]The day i died was the best day of my life
[00:58.510]Tell my friends and my kids and my wife
[01:01.060]Everything will be alright
[01:05.300]The day i died was the best day of my life
[01:08.139]
[01:09.910]Now the secretaries they got a smile for me
[01:12.230]And the in-tray on my desks almost empty
[01:15.800]I get a memo from executive joe
[01:18.160]Saying Rob the gob is getting kicked out
[01:21.130]For embezzling funds from the company account
[01:23.790]And id be lying if i said i wasn’t chuffed
[01:26.940]Cos i always hated rob
[01:29.170]And now they’ll probably offer me robs old job
[01:32.290]
[01:32.720]And in the park at lunch
[01:33.910]There’s no whinos on my favorite bench
[01:36.060]None of that drunk chatter none of that pissy stench
[01:38.940]And the scrawny little pigeons with the gammy legs
[01:41.880]Decide to dive bomb from someone else’s sandwich instead
[01:44.760]And there’s something about the city today
[01:47.160]Like all the colors conspire to overwhelm the grey
[01:49.840]And this close to the fire i can feel no cold
[01:52.840]Put a rainbow halo around my soul
[01:55.900]
[01:56.700]The day i died was the best day of my life
[02:02.300]The day i died was the best day of my life
[02:08.108]Tell my friends and my kids and my wife
[02:10.989]Everything will be alright
[02:13.878]The day i died was the best day of my life
[02:17.298]
[02:18.868]So i leave work get to the high street and i miss my bus
[02:24.380]Should i wait for another no i cant be arsed
[02:26.198]I begin to walk
[02:27.670]And rush hour crowd seem to part like the red sea
[02:31.780]And i’m stopping at the offy
[02:32.798]20 cigarettes and a 6 pack to relax me
[02:36.738]And as i cross back over the street
[02:39.278]I guess i never saw that taxi
[02:41.278]
[03:05.918]The day i died was the best day of my life
[03:11.738]The day i died was the best day of my life
[03:18.380]Tell my friends and my kids and my wife
[03:19.808]Everything will be alright
[03:23.789]The day i died was the best day of my life
