The Day I Went to Bed for 10 Years

Dream boat coming in
 Nice feeling
 Nice feeling
 Nice feeling
 For a while
 As honeymoons go I guess you'd call it a fairly long time
 You get to the top and just stroll along
 Here comes the nation's favourite son, oh it's great
 To be number one
 For a while
 But still it's ok and the beat goes on
 And she's dancing barefoot under a moonlit sun
 There's dirt in her eye
 And a shimmery gleam
 Maybe things have gone
 Just a little mainstream, but still it's ok
 And the beat goes on
 I hooked up with Mr. Chang
 And I bought the hype
 And I found myself in the West End
 Virtually every night
 Locked away with this fella
 Whose name I don't recall
 But he came on like some kind of chat-show host, still we
 Woofed it down like we didn't care
 And he looked at me with eyes that weren't really there
 And I was talking to this girl, she had long red hair
 She said, oh look, there's that thingy
 And there's that, that whatsisname?
 Not that I was really bothered
 'Cause all I really wanted was just more cocaine
 And I was on the way up from the underground
 And I spat on the people who were on the way down
 And my heart went boom fell off of my sleeve
 And my sleeve was in the gutter and it was made out of gold
 And it all we pouring down this
 Big black hole
 But still it's ok and the beat goes on
 And she's dancing barefoot under a moonlit sun
 Yeah there's dirt in her eye, and a shimmery gleam
 Maybe things have gone
 Just a little mainstream, but still it's ok
 And the beat goes on
 For a couple of years it all seemed to fall apart
 And I found myself drinking cider in Vauxhall Park
 With my old mate Tony and some of his freakish alcoholic friends
 But I saw something more sincere in them
 And I shaved my legs and I grew a beard
 And we celebrated three hundred and sixty five days a year
 But it wasn't a million miles away from where I'd been
 Just a different pair of shoes but the same old skin
 Yeah great for a while but it never lasts
 And my stomach burst open like a broken glass
 And I was to awake in this hospital bed
 With a tube in my nose
 And an aching bald head
 And there was this beautiful nurse
 And I, And I fell in love
 She told me that here name was Veronica
 And when I got well we met up for a drink
 And we are 3 years later
 Me, Veronica and the kids
 Oh it's funny how things just rollercoaster around
 When you're on the way up
 You could be crashing down
 But you never really know 'cause it could be the other way around
 But still it's ok and the beat goes on
 And she's dancing barefoot under a moonlit sun
 There's dirt in her eyes and a shimmery gleam
 Maybe things have gone just a little mainstream
 But still it's ok
 And the beat goes on
 Dream boat coming in (Do-do-do)
 Nice feeling (Do-do-do)
 Nice feeling (Do-do-do)
 Nice feeling (Do-do-do)
 Nice feeling
 For a while
