Sometimes few and far between, though when they're there it's to be recognised. This song is for the good days, featuring our mate Dan the Underdog.
lyrics
What a beautiful day
Im seein all the colour in whats usually grey
so I’m a soak it in under some suitable shade
n watch the world comin together in a musical way
I wake up on the lucky island with the sun shinin
I got my son smilin with a love thats undyin
we get up find some bacon cos we love frying up for breakfast cover it in ketchup - put him up high in
his chair this where i wanna be its bliss here
no body better interrupt I’m playing with my kid here
we head to the park he making friends with all the kids there,
then home for a nap he happy nappy fulla piss here,
fatty matty lay back and be still while daddy change it
cooking up some lovely roasted chicken n potatoes,
he weaving in n out my legs like it aint dangerous,
then out for a walk the sun is setting on the ranges,
just me and my baby he love a walk with underdog,
come home and we pick a book to read or sing a couple songs
when he got them heavy eyes he sleep before the bottle gone,
daddy yawning too we fall asleep up in each others arms,
What a beautiful day
Im seein all the colour in whats usually grey
so I’m a soak it in under some suitable shade
n watch the world comin together in a musical way
I awoke from my slumber, - thoughts of hope mixed with hunger.
as I rose from the covers,
filled with love like a note from my lover,
i filled up my cup and I smoked up some ganja,
there's rain falling from where it dwells in the clouds,
in this land where we're from, we used to welcome the sound,
outlook, feel good, living in right now,
we’ve accomplished so much, and i feel, quite proud,
and i will - find out how to capture the feeling,
for when I’m feeling damaged and beaten ill go back to the reason,
that I’m having this happiness, seep in, seeing the sadness leaving, understanding the chemical reactions happening here n,
with the pad and pen - I'ma motherfuckin' scientist.
i am blessed when i lie in bed,
with the girl who loves me beside me to divide my stress,
and my dog who understands of my minds mess, yet i digress,
i might've just spent the whole day inside my head - but thats cool though cos it's like my man dan said
What a beautiful day
I'm seein all the colour in whats usually grey
so I’m a soak it in under some suitable shade
n watch the world comin together in a musical way
