Lyrics
0:25It's a chilly english Winter
0:27And solitude is never easy to maintain
0:31Except when it rains
0:36So I hang an empty smile beneath my empty eyes
0:39And go out for a walk
0:43The wet morning Sun reflects off the paving stones
0:47While a little dog barks it's head off
0:50In the distance
0:54Oh what a perfect day
0:59To think about my silly world
1:02My feet are firmly screwed to the floor
1:06What is there to fear from such a regular world
1:09Oh what a perfect day
1:13To think about my silly world
1:16My feet are firmly screwed to the floor
1:20What is there to fear from such a regular world
1:38Passing by a cemetery
1:39I think of all the little hopes and dreams
1:42That lie lifeless and unfilled beneath the soil
1:48I see an old man fingering his perishing flesh
1:52He tells himself he was a good man and did good things
1:56Amused and confused by life's little ironies
2:00He swallows his bottle of distilled damnation
2:18People turn around with unseeing eyes
2:21They're looking for something that doesn't exist
2:25The world you once knew is being eaten up by rust
2:29No one has time for the past but still in god they trust
2:32The future is now but it's all going wrong
2:36Bodies good for nothing but it's to nothing they belong
2:40People say their prayers and some work hard
2:43If you give them all your money they'll give you their hearts
2:48This town ain't going like a ghost town
2:53It's going like hell
2:58Oh what a perfect day
3:02To think about my silly world
3:05My feet are firmly screwed to the floor
3:09What is there to fear from such a regular world
3:13Oh what a perfect day
3:17To think about my silly world
3:20My feet are firmly screwed to the floor
3:24What is there to fear from such a regular world
3:27Oh what a perfect day
3:31To think about my silly world
3:35My feet are firmly screwed to the floor
3:39What is there to fear from such a regular world
3:42Oh what a perfect day
3:46To think about my silly world
3:49My feet are firmly screwed to the floor
3:53What is there to fear from such a regular world
It's a chilly english Winter And solitude is never easy to maintain Except when it rains So I hang an empty smile beneath my empty eyes And go out for a walk The wet morning Sun reflects off the paving stones While a little dog barks it's head off In the distance Oh what a perfect day To think about my silly world My feet are firmly screwed to the floor What is there to fear from such a regular world Oh what a perfect day To think about my silly world My feet are firmly screwed to the floor What is there to fear from such a regular world Passing by a cemetery I think of all the little hopes and dreams That lie lifeless and unfilled beneath the soil I see an old man fingering his perishing flesh He tells himself he was a good man and did good things Amused and confused by life's little ironies He swallows his bottle of distilled damnation People turn around with unseeing eyes They're looking for something that doesn't exist The world you once knew is being eaten up by rust No one has time for the past but still in god they trust The future is now but it's all going wrong Bodies good for nothing but it's to nothing they belong People say their prayers and some work hard If you give them all your money they'll give you their hearts This town ain't going like a ghost town It's going like hell Oh what a perfect day To think about my silly world My feet are firmly screwed to the floor What is there to fear from such a regular world Oh what a perfect day To think about my silly world My feet are firmly screwed to the floor What is there to fear from such a regular world Oh what a perfect day To think about my silly world My feet are firmly screwed to the floor What is there to fear from such a regular world Oh what a perfect day To think about my silly world My feet are firmly screwed to the floor What is there to fear from such a regular world
