lyrics

Another Day In Paradise

Oh lord, oh lord, oh lord
Another day in paradise

Well I’m sitting in a pub called the Black Duck
Trying to drink away my bad luck
I had a steady girl but I went and blew it
Love is so easy anyone can do it
I guess it doesn’t pay to be sweet and kind
I guess it’s just another day in paradise

Now a guy walks in, about six foot three
There’re plenty empty seats but he sits next to me
Says don’t I know you from my dreams or one of them places?
I say I don’t think so my friend, I just have one of those faces
I guess I’m going to have to wear a cunning disguise
Just to get me undetected through another day in paradise

Oh lord, oh lord, oh lord
Another day in paradise

Now the bar maid says to him what will it be sir?
When she turns to fetch it he says my God I’d do anything to sleep with her
She’s got dirty blonde hair and a twinkle in her eye
And an expression that says you could anything right now and I wouldn’t be surprised
I say she looks like the kind who would eat you alive
And spit you out on the other side of another day in paradise

I wish him good luck and get up to leave
With nowhere to go I just follow my feet
For ten long years I lingered on these street corners
And the ghosts of old loves still cling to the bricks and mortar
Well ten long years is a mighty long time
But it aint nothing compared to another day in paradise

Oh lord, oh lord, oh lord
Another day in paradise
