Madness - One Better Day lyrics

Arlington house, address: no fixed abode
An old man in a three-piece
Suit sit's in the road
He stares across the water
He sees right through the lock
But on and up like outstretched hands
His mumbled words, his fumbled words, mock

Further down, a photo booth
A million plastic bags
And an old woman filling out
A million baggage tags
But when she gets thrown out
Three bags at a time
She spies the old chap in the
Road to share her bags with
She has bags of time

Surrounded by his past, on a short white line
He sit's while cars pass either side
Takes his time
Trying to remember one better day
A while ago when people stopped
To hear him say

Walking round you sometimes hear the sunshine
Beating down in time with the
Rhythm of your shoes

Now she has walked enough through rainy town
She rests her bag against his and sit's down
She's trying to remember one better day
A while ago when people stopped
To hear her say

Walking round you sometimes hear the sunshine
Beating down in time with the
Rhythm of your shoes
Walking round you sometimes hear the sunshine
Beating down in time with the
Rhythm of your shoes
The feeling of arriving when you've
Nothing left to lose

Walking round you sometimes hear the sunshine
Beating down in time with the
Rhythm of your shoes
The feeling of arriving when you've
Nothing left to lose
