And as I sit down I look up
And you’re standing in the doorway, sun at your back
doorway: 门口
In my old brown dressing gown
dressing gown: 晨衣 gown: 宽松长外衣，长服
Well no one can love you
More than I love you now, but I
Gotta go running for the bus
gotta: <美俚>必须
Coat flying and I try not to miss it this time
But the drivers waiting and that’s strange
Kids on the top deck quiet for a change
top deck: 上层车厢
And there’s no rain and no road works

In the bus lane and all my hurts run away

And I’m smiling as I’m punching in

The day I died was the best day of my life

Tell my friends and my kids and my wife
Everything will be alright
The day I died was the best day of my life
Now the secretaries they got a smile for me
secretary: 秘书
And the in-tray on my desks almost empty

And I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t chuffed

And now they’ll probably offer me Rob’s old job
And in the park at lunch
There’s no whinos on my favorite bench

Decide to dive bomb from someone else’s sandwich instead

And there’s something about the city today
Like all the colors conspire to overwhelm the grey
conspire: 密谋，搞阴谋 overwhelm: 覆盖，淹没
And this close to the fire I can feel no cold
But a rainbow halo around my soul
halo: 光环，灵光
The day I died was the best day of my life
The day I died was the best day of my life
Tell my friends and my kids and my wife
Everything will be alright
The day I died was the best day of my life
So I leave work get to the high street and I miss my bus

20 cigarettes and a 6 pack to relax me
And as I cross back over the street
I guess I never saw that taxi
The day I died was the best day of my life
The day I died was the best day of my life
Tell my friends and my kids and my wife
Everything will be alright
The day I died was the best day of my life
The day I died was the best day of my life
