[00:06.88]Drag myself from my bed Around 20 past 6
[00:11.97]Get my kids up make breakfast 1 egg 2 toast 3 weetabix
[00:17.53]And as I sit down I look up
[00:19.83]And your standing in the doorway sun at your back
[00:22.54]In my old brown dressing gown
[00:25.22]Well no one can love you more than I love you now
[00:28.52]But I
[00:29.10]Gotta go running for the bus
[00:31.23]Coat flying and i try not to miss it this time
[00:34.28]But the drivers waiting and that's strange
[00:37.09]Kids on the top deck quiet for a change
[00:40.03]And theres no rain and no roadworks in the
[00:43.52]Bus lane and all my hurts run away
[00:48.14]And i'm smiling as I'm punching in
[00:52.02]Chorus
[00:52.66]The day I died was the best day of my life (2x)
[01:04.10]Tell my friends and my kids and my wife
[01:06.32]Everything will be alright
[01:08.94]The day I died was the best day of my life
[01:15.20]Now the secretaries they got a smile for me
[01:17.66]And the in tray on my desks almost empty
[01:20.80]I get a memo from executive joe
[01:23.26]Saying Rob the gob is getting kicked out
[01:26.24]For embezzling funds from the company account
[01:29.31]And i'd be lying if i said i wasn't chuffed
[01:32.30]Cos i always hated rob
[01:34.57]And now they'll probably offer me robs old job
[01:37.86]And in the park at lunch
[01:39.33]Theres no whinos on my favorite bench
[01:41.27]None of that drunk chatter none of that pissy stench
[01:44.43]And the 20 little pigeons with the gammy leg
[01:47.14]Decide to dine from someone elses sandwich instead
[01:49.68]And there's something about the city today
[01:51.93]Like all the colours conspire to overwhelm the grey
[01:55.16]And this close to the fire I can feel no cold
[01:58.36]But a rainbow halo around my soul
[02:02.01]The day I died was the best day of my life (2x)
[02:13.41]Tell my friends and my kids and my wife
[02:15.71]Everything will be alright
[02:19.15]The day I died was the best day of my life
[02:24.28]So I leave work get to the high street and i miss my bus
[02:28.00]Should i wait for another no I can't be arsed
[02:31.25]I begin to walk and rush hour crowd seem to part
[02:35.09]Like the red sea and i'm stopping at the offy
[02:38.53]20 cigerettes and a 6 pack to relax me
[02:41.97]And as I cross back over the street
[02:44.34]I guess i never saw that taxi
[03:11.47]The day I died was the best day of my life (2x)
[03:22.91]Tell my friends and my kids and my wife
[03:25.15]Everything will be alright
[03:28.59]The day I died was the best day of my life
