lyrics

Ordinary Day

When I wake up in the morning and the sky is not a blue one
I know I'm gonna have to fight the urge to say why don't you do one
Cos I'm not inclined when in this state of mind
And I know that your love isn't mine-and it never could be
That's when I run and I race for the gates and escape
From an ordinary day

There's a fella on the corner and I'm sure he is a racist
I know his brother pretty well he is a big fan of Oasis
But I'm not inclined to agree I've a mind of my own
And your hate isn't mine-got my Beady Eye on you
As I run in a state for the gates and escape
From an ordinary day

By the muddy river there's a man
Who believes his old guitar's a better plan
Outside he will sit awhile
To avoid all conversation when he can

There's a bloke I often see in town he thinks we are related
And every time he asks me for a pound he calls me bruv-I hate it
Am I being cruel I'm quite kind as a rule
But my heart has a mind of it's own-on a scale of one to ten
I'm a five but I'm sure I'll survive and escape
From an ordinary day
