Better Day - Ocean Colour Scene

Better Day

Sonny signed his name up for tomorrow 
And laughed with all this friends 
At all the little men who borrow tunes 
They heard just yesterday 
Davey got us down but we got away 
And drank to all the days 
That we had whiled away 
Just playing Robin Hood a little out of phase 

Chorus:
And then the nightmares come 
And you get blown away 
(when your friends go away, on last chorus) 
And up in your room your walls are cold 
You find your head is holding out 
For the welcome of a better day 
And then the nightmares come 
And you get blown away 
And up in your room 
Your walls are getting colder 
Like you're getting on a roller coaster 
You can't find the breaks 

Stevie burned the sky when he flew away 
And left us things to say 
When all the world was falling down 
Around our shoulders; cold and grey 
Harry carried on in his usual way 
And Minnie went inside 
He came out once and we both cried 
And Minnie blew my head away 

(Repeat Chorus) 

When you're giving everything away 
Everybody lets you pay 
You're saving up for a better day 
Seeing things in a better way 
When you know you've got to live 
There's nothing you won't give 
To hear the phone and not let it ring 
Every Monday morning 
Shughie found love and he almost cried 
We laughed and wondered why 
We loved the sky and found the space 
And gazed out over Stevie's plane 

(Repeat Chorus)
