These Are the Days

Oh, I found a bounty in the Garden of Eden

The fruit from the vine saw me sinking my teeth in, baptised in booze

Would a pint or two of your blood not wash away my love in, Lord?

But in my defence, there's no one there to say

"These are the days

These are the days

That you should celebrate"

I found me a lover, Lord, but only to sunder

She made a man of me until I encumbered

Come cuddle up, and get a load of me

Just one more memory for loving's sake

But in her defence, there's no one there to say

"These are the days

These are the days

That you should celebrate

These are the days"

From heartbreak to slim figure

Soft face replaced with new vigour

She's acting out and I follow suit

She bit the hand and I followed through

What is a boy to do when every dog gonna have its day?

Such is the path

Whatever route you take, you best try, enjoy the way

These are the days

You should remember to live 'em well

They won't last forever

Whatever star sign, whatever moon you worship

Whatever deity

I hope you find that one to say

"These are the days

These are the days

You should celebrate

These are the days

You should celebrate"
