It wasn't one of my better days, (when I walked in front of a bus) lyrics

sidshovel

verse 1

I recall the day with clarity, I got out of bed feeling good

The bread shot out the toaster, but this time it wasn't burnt

I didn't break the yolk, and the bacon didn't shrink

Been doing this for years, you'd think I would have learnt

verse 2

The black cat walked away, the cleaner pulled up his ladder

A pavement covered in blacktop, not an unlucky crack in sight

I got rid of all the mirrors and even given up taking salt

Stay in bed on the thirteenth, from morning to late at night

chorus

My workmates call me Jonah, it's not that I'm a sailor

Everything I touch falls apart, I'm just a walking failure

I've got a four-leaved clover, fixed in a silver locket

For added luck, a rabbit's foot, deep inside my pocket

verse 3

Red sky out this the morning, I take a hat, I'm not a fool like that

I've never felt so lucky, I'm not one for making a fuss

buy a lottery ticket, across the road, I feel life's gonna change

It wasn't one of my better days, (when I walked in front of a bus)

chorus

My workmates call me Jonah, it's not that I'm a sailor

Everything I touch falls apart, I'm just a walking failure

I've got a four-leaved clover, fixed in a silver locket

For added luck, a rabbit's foot, deep inside my pocket

bridge

They say luck is what you make of it

I guess I'm not that good with my hands

chorus

My workmates call me Jonah, it's not that I'm a sailor

Everything I touch falls apart, I'm just a walking failure

I've got a four-leaved clover, fixed in a silver locket

For added luck, a rabbit's foot, deep inside my pocket

Nice, light and entertaining. Title sets everything up in advance.

I like the sailor / failure and Jonah / clover rhymes. Good rhythm to the chorus too.

All works for me!
