  • Drinking in the morning sun
    Blinking in the morning sun
    Shaking off the heavy one
    Heavy like a loaded gun

    What made me behave that way?
    Using words I never say
    I can only think it must be love
    Oh, anyway, it's looking like a beautiful day

    Someone tell me how I feel
    It's silly wrong but vivid right
    Oh, kiss me like a final meal
    Yeah, kiss me like we die tonight

    'Cause holy cow, I love your eyes
    And only now I see the light
    Yeah, lying with you half awake
    Oh, anyway, it's looking like a beautiful day

    When my face is chamois-creased
    If you think I wink, I did
    Laugh politely at repeats
    Yeah, kiss me when my lips are thin

    'Cause holy cow, I love your eyes
    And only now I see the light
    Yeah, lying with me half awake
    Stumbling over what to say
    Well, anyway, it's looking like a beautiful day

    So throw those curtains wide
    One day like this a year'd see me right
    Throw those curtains wide
    One day like this a year'd see me right

    Throw those curtains wide
    One day like this a year'd see me right
    Throw those curtains wide
    One day like this a year'd see me right, for life

    Holy cow, I love your eyes
    And only now I see you like
    Holy cow, I love your eyes
    And only now I see you like

    Throw those curtains wide
    One day like this a year'd see me right
    Throw those curtains wide
    One day like this a year'd see me right

    Throw those curtains wide
    One day like this a year'd see me right
    Throw those curtains wide
    One day like this a year'd see me right

    Throw those curtains wide
    One day like this a year'd see me right
    Throw those curtains wide
    One day like this a year'd see me right

    Throw those curtains wide
    One day like this a year'd see me right
    So throw those curtains wide
    One day like this a year'd see me right
    Throw those curtains wide
    One day like this a year'd see me right Writer/s: Craig Lee Potter, Guy Edward John Garvey, Mark Potter, Peter James Turner, Richard Barry Jupp

  • Sandra 61 from N.iDid the young guy know he was being filmed?
  • Bartonwhat is the name of lad dancing in video
  • Ricky Hancock from LiverpoolThe young lad throwing the sign, where was he?
  • Dale from Cambridge, United KingdomThis song means everything to me, and I cry everytime I hear it. So full of emotion, atmosphere and also very sentimental to me. The verse 'What made me behave that way?
    Using words I never say
    I can only think it must be love
    Oh, anyway, it's looking like a beautiful day' reminds me of the arguments I had with the love of my life following our breakup. I think the singer wants to explain to his love that there is a fine line between love and hate, and in the end, he just wants to shrug it off and turn it around and be strong, in 'well, anyway, it's doesn't matte anymore because today is a beautiful day in my life'.
    The song in general, from my point of view reminds me of the last six months. I lost my job, a lot of friends, family, girlfriend and when I couldn't think of my situation being any worse, this song reminds me that we I have a beautiful day ahead cause things can't get any worse, and also people are a lot worse off than I am.
