Days Like These

To the gods in the sky, there's one thing you can do You can send us some sun and we'll play you this tune Because sitting in our room, lying down with a scoob And the sunshine through our window It's days like these that make us happy Like a puppy getting lucky with Lassie Hassle-free hours passing by with the beat (one, two) Singing days like these, kicking back Just doing what we do Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Number one, I'd find some loving in the sun With someone that can make me growl and hum, say hm A boom-boom-boom-shack And the beat that she throw at me knocking me flat Number two, I'd cruise where the grass is smooth And the sound of the sea is a dreamy melody Snooze all afternoon 'Til the night time wake me 'cause shakedown soon Number three, I'd be dancing like a monkey up a tree I'd find sweet simplicity by kissing my honey Get funky like Bond when he's played by Connery And crafty like Don Corleone Four, watching Oliver jam a little more Remember the night when I saw? What I never never never seen before Lavender wrestling a rich wild boar Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh It's days like these that make us happy Like a puppy getting lucky with Lassie Hassle-free hours passing by with the beat (one, two) Singing days like these, kicking back Just doing what we do Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Whack, beats splat Woke up on the attack Work myself frantic to the moon and back Now it's evening and the sausages are frying out back I write my rhyme for this track As the sky fade to black Now I remember earlier in the day As I was swimming through the bay A bass player I know swum my way He said "g'day, hey, you wanna go see some reggae? Starts at 8:00 and plays through to sunrise the next day" So nine o'clock sees me heading out towards the tabernacle Hardcore reggae beat bring my feet out of these shackles Hardcore reggae DJ, I Salute you Crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle of the vinyl Now I'm high, now a spectacular night ahead I met a Mexican called Juan ("there's a party on the hill, would you like to come?") Yeah ("and bring a bottle of rum") Can't afford it, but I bought it, and then I sung It's nights like these when you know that you're alive Nights like these when you know that you got fire Nights like these when don't have to try Fall in love and kiss and smile from every girl walking by I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive And my eyes want to cry 'Cause the night and the sky is so high And my life is sublime and it's mine and it's time (is now one) It's nights like these when you know that you're alive Nights like these when you know that you got fire Nights like these when you laugh until you cry Nights like these when I'm drowning in your eyes It's nights like these when you know that you're alive (I feel like I've been living) Nights like these when you know that you got fire (my life from the beginning) Nights like these when you laugh until you cry (and all the songs I'm singing) Is all the love I'm giving It's days like these that make us happy Like a puppy getting lucky with Lassie Hassle-free hours passing by with the beat (one, two) Singing days like these, kicking back Just doing what we do Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh And dirty hands, I like them see They make the music that we play sound oh so sweet And my mother always made me eat broccoli And now look at me, I'm as strong as can be So put some spice in my sauce, honey in my tea An ace up my sleeve and a slinky plan B And most importantly, my mad family They named me Lucky and for that I'll sing about days like these
