Just Jack - The Day I Died
来自英国的音乐鬼才Just Jack，该单曲出自专辑《All Night Cinema》，该专辑也有很多叙事的歌曲，《The Day I Died》就是其中一首。这首歌曲调明快，歌词简单，琅琅上口。描述的是一个乐观的普通男人，在自己的最后一天发生的一些很普通的事情，主题非常乐观、向上，表达希望每个人都可以珍惜自己所过的每一天，积极地面对每一个时刻。
歌词中处处充满煽情的句子，Just Jack在用最简单、最朴实的语言告诉大家：其实，感动，也是很简单的。
最后，值得一提的是，MV是在Elton John的邀请下由实力派男演员James Nesbitt出演~。
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 20 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
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 anekatips.com
The day I died was the best day of my life
Now I got 99 red balloons floating in the summer sky
I got 99 red balloons drifting past my dreamy eyes
I got 99 red balloons floating in the summer sky
I got 99 red balloons drifting past my dying eyes
