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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] chatter none of that greasy stench
and the scrawny little pigeons with the gammy legs
decide to dive bomb for 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 [bad word] 
i begin to walk
 [bad word] hour crowd seem to part like the red sea
and im stopping at the offy
20 cigarettes and a 6 pack to relax me
and as i cross back over the street
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
