An Otherwise Sunny Day Lyrics by Filthy Thieving Bastards

A Melody of Retreads and Broken Quills

2001

This time she left for real
She packed her bags, won the game
She left me the old Dear John
On an otherwise sunny day
Work til you die all day
Collect your pay and earn your wage
Settle in your routine
Collapse in the comfort of your ways
Give the lack of praise
That was endured every day
I should be so glad
Sing songs and dance, celebrate
The wind blows the leaves in the trees
The sunsets, birds, [?] the bees
The bottles and the barrels and the jugs
Are the only things that stand by me
Wish I knew she was well
She was in hell or on her way
'Cause I can't think straight
On an otherwise sunny day
Even if I drowned myself
In drugs and drink and tears
She'd still curse my crutch
And I'd still be pining for her here
After I'm dead and gone
If history recalls my name
I shall remain the scorned and torn
On an otherwise sunny day
On an otherwise sunny day
