A Day In The Life (Second Take)

[Verse 1]

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)

[Chorus]

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)

[Verse 2]

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)

[Chorus]

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)

[Verse 3]

Go home in the dark and I eat my tea (Hey, 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)

[Chorus]

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)

[Verse 4]

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 (Hey, hear now, listen all who can)

But I don't forget how lucky I am (A day in the life of a modern man)

[Chorus]

Oh 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)

[Spoken Outro]

Nice, that was really good

Let's just do it a couple more times, argh

Hooray

Everyone have a water break

Take five everyone

Good work guys, good work
