The day I died


        最近愛上Just Jack的音樂,Jack Johnson般的調調雜著濃濃英國倫敦腔。那名號總讓我想到Will & Grace。



        ICRT狂播他的 The day I died.



        一開始以為我聽錯了。廣播永遠開著當背景音樂,很少注意歌詞內容是什麼。直到這個週末,靜下心來。



        The Day I Died - Just Jack



        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 that's 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 I'm punching in



        (Chorus)

        The day I died was the best day of my life (2x)

        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 in tray 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 i'd be lying if i said i wasn't chuffed

        cos i always hated rob

        and now they'll probably offer me robs old job



        And in the park at lunch

        Theres no whinos on my favorite bench

        none of that drunk chatter none of that pissy stench

        and the scrawney little pigeons with the gammy leg

        decide to dine from someone elses sandwich instead

        and there's 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



        (Chorus)

        The day I died was the best day of my life (2x)

        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 can't 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

       

        dodododododododoood!



        (Chorus)

        The day I died was the best day of my life (2x)

        Tell my friends and my kids and my wife

        everything will be alright 

        The day I died was the best day of my life
