No hope a crap job and shit money,
Piss off don't laugh it ain't funny.
Pardon me if I don't seem chummy,
But Life ain't so bright or sunny.

I've got no-one to call honey,
Must be 'cos I'm fat and ugly,
At least I've got some buddies,
But they all think I'm a dummy.

Dwelling on my past mistakes,
I think it's time to make a change,
but it might be far too late.

But hey, who cares,
Who said that life was fair?
Forget the shit from yester-year,
You might just succeed if you dare

Give yourself a fresh new start,
Or you'll tear yourself apart,
We all only get one try,
To enjoy life before we die.

So say fuck off to the past,
And be happy at last,
And swear yourself a vow,
To live in the here and now.

Got so drunk I was seeing double,
I was a mess, it made me chuckle,
But in truth I was in trouble,
Each day a different struggle,

I saw another happy couple,
Living in their perfect bubble,
I cried myself a puddle
My life's a total muddle.

No point to bitch and moan,
They'll see when they bury my bones
Here's a toast to me dying alone.

But wait, hold on,
It's a while til you're dead and gone.
There's still a chance to prove you wrong
So you can write some happy songs.

Give yourself a fresh new start,
Or you'll tear yourself apart,
We all only get one try,
To enjoy life before we die.

So say fuck off to the past,
And be happy at last,
And swear yourself a vow,
To live in the here and now.

I'll find a way somehow,
to turn all my frowns upside down,
to turn my life around,
to live in the here and now,

Dave, as always you know how much I love this song. Lyrically and musically. I am so honoured to know a lot behind this and I can feel it all coming through this song. 
Its always so amazing that when were talking youll just pop out with such cracking lyrics and they just speak to me so deeply.
Yes this is an entirely cheesy comment esp when I could just message you know and snort down the phone at you (cause that's how we roll) but sometimes I don't think you quite realise how much I do love your work and entirely believe you have a lot of talent (even if your work ethic is a bit sketchy but hey that's why you met me to be a slavedriver and scream at you ;p)

This song has finished your album just in time for me. You know the deal and everytime I hear a song it keeps me dancing along the road of my life, esp now that its gonna get a lot rougher.
So thanks again Dave for once again giving us such wonderful music, being great craic and an even better friend :heart:
