David Bridie - On a Day Like This Lyrics
You see that man slumped by the cornerSwigging on a tin canHalf filled with brandavino, it’s the middle of the dayAnd on a day like this it’s the drink that makes them colourful;He goes waltzing round the garden wallHe’s casting demons from his battered soulA cold wind cuts from the south side all the shoppers go insideAnd on a day like this it’s the drink that makes them colourfulThe mighty cliff, the barren seaA heart that is ringing out for mePush on 'til you feel completeHappy dancing dusty feetOut front of the amusement hallA laugh when you think of it allTakes the panic edge off the waiting 'til the fortnight comes roundAnd away from any evidenceThe Major pushes zero toleranceSo the girl who thinks that she's Jesus faces jail for her crimesAnd on a day like this it’s the drugs that makes them colourfulAnd on a day like this it’s the drink that makes them wonderfulAnd on a day like this it’s the drink that makes them colourfulFor we are young and free….this wonderful country
