Just Jack-The Day I Died
lyrics:
Drag myself from my bed Around 20 past 6
Get my kids up make breakfast 1 egg 2 toast 3 weetabix
And as I sit down I look up
And your standing in the doorway sun at your back
in my old brown dressing gown
Well no one can love you more than I love you now
but I gotta go running for the bus
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
And theres no rain and no roadworks in the
Bus lane and all my hurts run away
And im smiling as I'm punching in
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
Now the secretaries they got a smile for me
and the in tray on my desks almost empty
I get a memo from executive joe
saying Rob the gob is getting kicked out
for embezzling funds from the company account
and i'd be lying if i said i wasn't chuffed
cos i always hated rob
and now they'll probably offer me robs old job
And in the park at lunch
Theres no whinos on my favorite bench
none of that drunk chatter none of that pissy stench
and the 20 little pigeons with the gammy leg
decide to dine from someone elses sandwich instead
and there's something about the city today
like all the colours conspire to overwhelm the grey
and this close to the fire I can feel no cold
but a rainbow halo around my soul
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
Should i wait for another no I can't be arsed
I begin to walk and rush hour crowd seem to part
Like the red sea, and im stopping at the offy
20 cigerettes and a 6 pack to relax me
And as I cross back over the street
I guess i never saw that taxi
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
Now I got 99 red balloons floating in the summer sky
I got 99 red balloons drifting past my dreamy eyes
I got 99 red balloons floating in the summer sky
I got 99 red balloons drifting past my dying eyes

本名Jack Allsopp的Just Jack,
沒有帥氣的外表與華麗的包裝,
看起來真的很路人,
但他其實擁有顯赫的經歷,
從小就是知名的霹靂舞舞者,
更是遊走在各舞廳的名DJ。
一開始因為歌名很特別,
我才會在youtube點開這首歌,
以為會是首悲情沉悶的歌,
沒想到還挺輕快活潑的。

一開始聽到的是這個版本,
Just Jack和樂團出現在公園,
輕便的裝扮搭配簡單的樂器,
就開始了他們的表演。
我很喜歡這樣的風格,
不需要複雜的編曲或是強烈的混音,
簡單的編曲 生活化的歌詞,
像Plain White T's或是Jason Mraz的音樂,
輕易的就能打動市井小民的心。
雖然離the day I died應該有段距離,
我還是將喜歡的音樂分享給大家。
