In the Other Life and on Another Day

歌詞

I wake in the dark and I don't complain. (Hear now, listen all who can.) I ride to the city on a South West train (A day in the life of a modern man.) The beggars and the bankers, all the buggers I see (Hear now, listen all who can.) I don't trust them and they don't trust me. (A day in the life of a modern man.) Father, (Father) mother, (Mother) sister, (Sister) brother (Brother) I've been this way since I began A day in the life of a modern man (A day in the life of a modern man.) Stare all day at a monitor screen (Hear now, listen all who can.) With a Slim-Fast shake in the old canteen (A day in the life of a modern man.) Half past five, "will you have a few beers?" (Hear now, listen all who can.) "Just a pint of diet coke and I'm off back, cheers" (A day in the life of a modern man.) Father, (Father) mother, (Mother) sister, (Sister) brother (Brother) No song I can sing truer than, a day in the life of a modern man (A day in the life of a modern man.) Go home in the dark and I eat my tea (Hear now, listen all who can.) Just the wife and me and the BBC (A day in the life of a modern man.) I might see a film with a couple of the boys (Hear now, listen all who can.) Or gather up the band for to make some noise (A day in the life of a modern man.) Father, (Father) mother, (Mother) sister, (Sister) brother (Brother) From New Orleans to old Japan A day in the life of a modern man (A day in the life of a modern man.) The birds all sing as I rest my head With a good sweet girl lying in my bed (A day in the life of a modern man.) I might have troubles and I might give a damn (Hear now, listen all who can.) But I don't forget how lucky I am (A day in the life of a modern man.) Father, (Father) mother, (Mother) sister, (Sister) brother (Brother) From dawn nightfall, thus it ran A day in the life of a modern man Oh, yes! Father, (Father) mother, (Mother) sister, (Sister) brother (Brother) For Angus, Harold, and for Dan A day in the life of a modern man (A day in the life of a modern man.)
