Drag myself from my bed, around twenty past six
Get my kids up, make breakfast, one egg, two toast, three wheat and bix
And as I sit down, I look up, and you're 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've got to go, running for the bus, cold flying
And I'm trying not to miss it this time, but the driver's waiting
And that strange kid's 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
And I'm smiling, as I'm punching in
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 car
And I'd be lying if I said I wasn't chuffed
Cause I always hated Rob
And now they'll probably offer me Rob's old job
And in the park at lunch, there's no wine
I was on my favourite bench
None of that drunk chat and none of that pissy stench
And the scrawny little pigeons with the gammy legs
Decide to dive on someone else's sandwich instead
And there's something about the city today
Like all the colours conspire to overwhelm the grey
And it's close to the fire, I can feel no cold
With the 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 boss
Should I wait for another? No, I can't be arsed
I begin to walk
A rush hour crowd seems to part like the Red Sea
And I'm stopping at the off-feet
Twenty cigarettes and a six-pack to relax me
And as I cross back over the street
I guess I never saw that taxi
Your Không Hades The%, and it's too much





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
There's nothing that makes any difference to mine

The day I died was the best day of my life
