ATF: Good Days and Bad

This weekly series will include as many of my all-time favorite tunes as I can get my grubby little hands on (so to speak).  Now, each one included in each edition will have some connection with the other—albeit only as a figment of my imagination, but they will not be numbered.  For I just cannot bring myself to rate some higher than others.  So, this will not be a countdown, but if you are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t matter.  Besides, with no countdown, this could go on forever and ever!  Oh, and despite the fact that there is absolutely no way that your musical tastes can be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions that you might dare to make.  I am, after all, quite magnanimous by nature.

Bad Day

Daniel Powter

Where is the moment we needed the most

You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost

They tell me your blue skies fade to grey

They tell me your passion's gone away

And I don't need no carryin' on

You stand in the line just to hit a new low

You're fakin’ a smile with the coffee to go

They tell me your life's been way off line

You're fallin’ to pieces every time

And I don't need no carryin' on

‘Cause you had a bad day

You're takin’ one down

You sing a sad song

Just to turn it around

You say you don't know

You tell me don't lie

You work at a smile

And you go for a ride

You had a bad day

The camera don't lie

You're comin’ back down

And you really don't mind

You had a bad day

You had a bad day

Well

You need a blue sky holiday

The point is they laugh at what you say

And I don't need no carryin' on

You had a bad day

You're takin’ one down

You sing a sad song

Just to turn it around

You say you don't know

You tell me don't lie

You work at a smile

And you go for a ride

You had a bad day

The camera don't lie

You're comin’ back down

And you really don't mind

You had a bad day

Mmm

On a holiday

Sometimes the system goes on the blink

And the whole thing turns out wrong

You might not make it back and you know

That you could be well oh that strong

And I'm not wrong

Yeah yeah yeah

So where was the passion when you need it the most

Oh

You and I

You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost

‘Cause you had a bad day

You're takin’ one down

You sing a sad song

Just to turn it around

You say you don't know

You tell me don't lie

You work at a smile

And you go for a ride

You had a bad day

You've seen what you like

And how does it feel

For one more time

You had a bad day

You had a bad day

Had a bad day

Had a bad day

Had a bad day
