about

Here we are, the one you all like.

To be honest, there was a lot of internal debate about whether or not this song was going to be on the album. The day after recording, I was ready to delete it, I couldn't stand it anymore.

"Play Make My Day" "Make My Day is my favourite" "It's your best song"

I just couldn't see it.

Then one gig, I stepped back from the microphone and a room full of people belted out the words "Make my day, ooo, show me something new".

I get it now, this one is for all of you.

Now it's one of my favourites too.

lyrics

I think about a time before
when getting by felt such a chore
I always knew
that i wanted more

i started to tick the list
white picket fence
you get the jist
you won't believe what i have missed

so make my day
show me something new
make my day
give me something to do

I dreamt of a suit and tie
i must have been out of my mind
but i guess that i would see in time

a pocket of royal face
burns nicely on my fireplace
as i wish to be
a waste of space

so make my day
show me something new
make my day
give me something to do

back in those days
we suffered there with a smile
we were all in hell together
now im on my pyre
im suddenly looking down
well now it all seems wrong so

make my day
show me something new
make my day
give me something to do

make my day
show me something new
make my day
give me something to do
