The End Of A Perfect Day

I want to tell you something

It's not a secret or anything

You're not alone in being alone

At the end of a perfect day

And if you leave all your dependents

Then they will gain their independence

Don't make a martyr of yourself

It's just the end of a perfect day

And it's never how it seems

The rain may fall on the best laid schemes

But in a written testimonial I'd say

I never really knew you anyway

I want to tell you something

Now don't go crazy or anything

Just want to tell you that it's over

It's the end of a perfect day

Do you want sign language?

Don't want a knuckle sandwich!

Now you can love or you can hate it's just

The end of a perfect day

You can't get inside someone

So don't ask me if we're close

I really couldn't tell you

But I know you wouldn't really listen anyway

It's a pain you have to bear

And it's always going to be there

But if you disappeared tomorrow

Then the world would carry on without you anyway

Mind over matter it seems

Can stop you falling apart at the seams

It's a matter of honour with me

I could write out a hundred times

Put my hand on my heart and say

That I don't want to lie

Don't want to lie

Don't want to lie

About the way it is

I want to tell you something

Don't act surprised now or anything

Now you can revel in yourself 'cause

It's just the end of a perfect day

No it's not a pretty world out there

With people dying of their own despair

But in a written testimonial you'd say

You never really knew them anyway
