These Are the Days

Oh, I found a bounty in the Garden of Eden The fruit from the vine saw me sinking my teeth in, baptised in booze Would a pint or two of your blood not wash away my love in, Lord? But in my defence, there's no one there to say "These are the days These are the days That you should celebrate" I found me a lover, Lord, but only to sunder She made a man of me until I encumbered Come cuddle up, and get a load of me Just one more memory for loving's sake But in her defence, there's no one there to say "These are the days These are the days That you should celebrate These are the days" From heartbreak to slim figure Soft face replaced with new vigour She's acting out and I follow suit She bit the hand and I followed through What is a boy to do when every dog gonna have its day? Such is the path Whatever route you take, you best try, enjoy the way These are the days You should remember to live 'em well They won't last forever Whatever star sign, whatever moon you worship Whatever deity I hope you find that one to say "These are the days These are the days You should celebrate These are the days You should celebrate"
