Day Out Day - Blub Lyrics

Why not crack a happy sappy smile at me
You've been fussing and fighting
And trying not to be
Like your mother, told you, not to be

Why not fly a friendly faced flag at me
You've been huffing and puffing
And blowing and bluffing like daddy
Told you, not to be

Your name is written in window dust
Your name is written in air
Your name in butter laid cold on hot toast
Feels like you're melting away
The things that you do and you say

This is the day, we're on our way to the shops
Buy you a book, won't stop and look 'till we're home dear
Give you away, find you someday like a lost bone
Dream of you someday forget your face when I'm home alone

Your name is written in blackboard chalk
Your name is written in sand
Your name in sun cream on steaming back
Feels like you're melting away
The things that you do and you say

This is the day, we're on our way to the shops
Buy you a book, won't stop and look 'till we're home dear
Give you away, find you someday like a lost bone
Dream of you someday forget your face when I'm all alone
