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.

I just want to celebrate
Another day of livin'
I just want to celebrate
Another day of life
Put my faith in the people
But the people let me down
So I turned the other way
And I carry on
Anyhow

That's why I'm tellin’ you
I just want to celebrate
Yeah yeah
Another day of livin’
Yeah
I just want to celebrate
Another day of life

Had my head on the dollar bill
And the dollar bill flew away
But the sun is shinin’ down on me
And it's here to stay
Yeah
Yeah

I just want to celebrate
Yeah yeah
Another day of livin’

Don't let it all get you down
No no
Don't let it turn you
Around
And around
And around
And around
And around

Well
Can't be bothered with sorrow
And I can't be bothered with hate
No no
I'm using up the time but feeling fine
Every day

That's why I'm tellin’ you
I just want to celebrate
Yeah yeah
I just want to celebrate another day
Hey
Well

Another day of livin'
I just want to celebrate
Another day of
Life

Don't let it all get you down
No no
Don't let it turn you
Around

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
