The Streets
Each Day Gives
[Chorus: Mike Skinner]
Each day gives and each day takes, innit
But each new day has no mistakes in it
[Verse 1: Mike Skinner]
Got two minds to be like a child and leave
But I do like to be beside the sea
Selling its claim to be the best in this shit
It tells me its name, but I forget to listen
Why are you always so "woe is me"?
Start the day with a smile and get it over with
Don't know where it is, I wouldn't go from here
Like a fish out of water, then thrown out to sea
[Chorus: Mike Skinner]
Each day gives and each day takеs, innit
But each new day has no mistakes in it
[Verse 2: Mike Skinner]
Likе a broken record, it's how I make my mistakes
Everyone likes vinyl till they hike round a crate
Used to let the song cry like a baby
Record the same song over both sides of the tape
Don't stop runnin' to be on for one
Work is so much more fun than fun
[Chorus: Mike Skinner]
Each day gives and each day takes, innit
But each new day has no mistakes in it
Each day gives and each day takes, innit
But each new day has no mistakes in it
[Refrain: Kevin Mark Trail, Mike Skinner]
We won't talk about this on social media
We won't talk about this on social media
I'm not tryin' to be your local dealer
We won't talk about this on social media
[Verse 3: Mike Skinner]
Too minds to be all wild and free
But I do like to keep my mind with me
It'd be a shame if I had to stay long
But what a great place to get away from
Selling its claim to be the best in this shit
It tells me its name, but I forget to listen
Your favourite thing is always rummaging shelves
My favourite drink is always somebody else's
[Chorus: Mike Skinner]
Each day gives and each day takes, innit
But each new day has no mistakes in it
Each day gives and each day takes, innit
But each new day has no mistakes in it
[Verse 4: Mike Skinner]
Last minute, grab accommodation online
Just like we diagnose ailments, right?
Alcohol is my medication tonight
An anesthetic for the operation of life
[Refrain: Kevin Mark Trail, Mike Skinner]
We won't talk about this on social media
We won't talk about this on social media
I'm not tryin' to be your local dealer
We won't talk about this on social media
[Bridge: Mike Skinner]
I'm a hard dog to keep on the porch
The black dog follows me as I walk
Walk past someone walking too slow
Walk past comedy fast to get past
[Chorus: Mike Skinner]
Each day gives and each day takes, innit
But each new day has no mistakes in it
Each day gives and each day takes, innit
But each new day has no mistakes in it
[Outro: Kevin Mark Trail, Mike Skinner]
We won't talk about this on social media
We won't talk about this on social media
I'm not tryin' to be their local dealer
Don't stop running to be on for one
Work is so much more fun than fun
