Drag my, drag my, drag my, drag my, drag my, drag my, drag my
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 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 gotta 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 a 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
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
Rub the gupp, it's getting kicked out for free
Embezzling funds from the company account
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 one
I was on my favourite bench
And all that drunk chat and all that greasy stench
And the scrawny little pigeons with the gammy legs
Decide to dive on someone else's sandwich instead
And there's something about this city today
Like all the colours conspired to overwhelm the grey
And this, close to the fire, I can feel no fear
I'm 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 or I get to the high street
And I miss my house
Should I wait for another? No, I can't be arsed
I begin to hook up my shower glass
Into one of the red sea
And I'm stopping at the offay
Twenty cigarettes and a six pack to relax me
And as I cross back over the street
I guess I never saw that taxi
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
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
