I’ll have rage on the rocks with a bitter twisted lemon
Peanuts in a bowl, to kill the hunger in my soul
There. That’s better. First one down the hatch. Now I’m starting to get the feeling that’s it’s not going to be such a bad day after all.
Put something on the jukebox, something tribal, incoherent, no sad songs, or weary ballads.
Won’t you join me in a vodka tsunami?
Let’s put the world to rights. Problems solved in a flash
over liquid lunch and liquid dinner
Let’s bring water to this desert
Let’s bring foliage sweet and green
Because this day is turning out to be a great day
Oh, look, there’s an oasis
Oh no, it’s just a mirage
Of time lost
And people wasted
Or is the other way round?
It’s a lovely day today, don’t you think?
Come on, it’s your round, make it a double, or a pint.
Something to soak up this dried up emptied out hallowed out I’m-spitting-feathers sponge
Nothing left to say
Nothing left to do
But celebrate
Because I don’t know about you…but quite frankly
I’m so in love with today right now.
I can see the bottom of the glass
And I don’t want to see the end of anything
So keep ’em topped up
‘cos it’s a wonderful day
Have I mentioned this? Oh, I have?
My memory’s not too good lately
God know why.
It’s a mystery.
Well, I’ll say it again
I’m in love with today
But I’m going to hate tomorrow.
