Another one

In three six five

I'm awake

So I must be alive

  

No sign of sunrise yet

How long can one night get?

You're still in bed I'll bet

And so am I

  

Liquorice lights

In my room

All sorts of shade

Swallow perfume

  

No sign of us inside

Solo we can't get high

I think I'm asking why

And so are You

  

It's one of those days

One of those days

One of those days

  

No sign of us inside

Solo we can't get high

I think I'm asking why

  

Who are you?

Who am I?

Come with me

Don't be shy

  

So close and yet so far apart

(My aching heart)

Where did we start?

(Why should we part?)

So where are You?

  

Instrumental

  

It's been one of those days

One of those days

One of those days

One of those days

It's been one of those days

    

     

The Story of 'One Of Those Days'

I'm having one of those days

Not the best music ever, or the best recording! But the lyrics are cool. I like the plays on words; licourice (lights) and allsorts (of shade); and 'solo' (so low) we can't get high I hate licourice but 'Licourice Allsorts' were a kind of sweet (that's 'candy' in American English) when we were kids. And it is hard to get high when you're really low because you're on your own and can't be with the one you want to be with in that moment

We've all had those tough to get through days because of relationship stuff going on, dealing with the feelings is never easy, and the duet in this song aims to sum that up poetically

And so, forgiving the poor tape quality, this is more early 1990s Haley/Coates & Ultimate Shed nostalgia. If I had a time machine I'd get back there and buy these guys a DAT (Digital Audio Tape) machine!
