| every day’s your last day |
| I’ve always been taught that way |
| that every day’s the first day of the rest of your life |
| don’t be scared of danger |
| and never talk to strangers |
| don’t ever allow them to see you cry |
| try to know the answer |
| before you hear the question |
| try to solve problems before they arise |
| never show your weaknesses |
| hold your cards close to your chest |
| never burden others with what’s on your mind |
| and you’ll be killing yourself |
| day by day |
| you won’t see that you are blind |
| you’ll be killing yourself in a slow, slow way |
| thinking that you’re only killing time |
| If you’ve been a good boy |
| buy yourself a new toy |
| get yourself a motorcycle, gun and a knife |
| what you need’s a big car |
| to drive you to the big bar |
| Mr Spoons went out for coffee |
| and came back with a wife |
| and he’ll be killing himself |
| day by day |
| he won’t see that he is blind |
| he’ll be killing himself in a slow, slow way |
| thinking that he’s only killing time |
| he’ll be the one |
| the one that’s controlled |
| the one who’ll feel guilty |
| for she’s getting old |
| and he’ll panic for her |
| with every second that’s gone |
| and he’ll agree |
| though he knows that she’s wrong |
| and it’s the way of the world |
| and it’s always the same |
| and there’s nothing you can do |
| and there’s no-one you can blame |
| and it’s the way of the world |
| and its sad and its true |
| but it will happen to you |
| just like Mr Spoons |
| If you’ve been a good boy |
| buy yourself a new toy |
| get yourself a motorcycle, gun and a knife |
| what you need’s a big car |
| to drive you to the big bar |
| Mr Spoons went out for coffee |
| and came back with a wife |
| and he’ll be killing himself |
| day by day |
| he won’t see that he is blind |
| he’ll be killing himself in a slow, slow way |
| thinking that he’s only killing time |
| and he’ll be killing himself |
| day by day |
| he won’t see that he is blind |
| he’ll be killing himself in a slow, slow way |
| thinking that he’s only killing time |
