Drag myself from my bed
Around 20 past 6
Get my kids up make breakfast
1 egg 2 toast 3 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 try not to miss it this time
but the drivers waiting and thats strange
kids on the top deck quiet for a change
and theres no rain and no roadworks
in the bus lane and all my hurts run away
and im smiling as im 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
now the secretaries they got a smile for me
and the intray on my desks 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 id be lying if i said i wasnt chuffed
cos i always hated rob
and now they'll probbaly offer me robs old job
and in the park at lunch
theres no whinos on my favourite bench
none of that drunk chatter none of that pissy stench
and the scrawny little pigeons with the gammy legs
decide to dive bomb from someone elses sandwich instead
and theres 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 cant be arsed
i begin to walk
and rush hour crowd seem to part like the red sea
and im stopping at the offy
20 cigerettes and a 6 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
now i got 99 red ballons floating in the summer sky
i got 99 red ballons drifiting past my dreamy eyes
i got 99 red ballons floating in the summer sky
i got 99 red ballons drfting past my dying eyes
