Extra Special Bitter

Rising from the rubble of trust
Searching for an open restaurant on our greatest day
Boys and girls have made their case
They will wish us well and they'll save face
And turn on feet of clay

A take in tune, a change explained on our greatest day
Tag me out of losing games on our greatest day
The fact remains, we're still the same
They won't change the names, in the biography
Of our greatest day

Driving through the blizzard of luck
Crawl among the jack-knifed semi-trucks
Life's a leaving train, raise the bar and lower the rent
You and me, an excellent accident
So twist the knife away

And if you will, then I will too on our greatest day
A change explained, a take in tune on our greatest day
You clap for me, I'll clap for you on our greatest day
We'll testify, time to drop the dime
And I won't change my mind but I'm so terrified
On our greatest day

And life's a leaving train
If we should fade to black and white on our greatest day
Or disappear into good night on our greatest day
Boys and girls will testify on our greatest day
And I'm not scared, I'm terrified on our greatest day

And I won't care because I won't know
And I'll never care and I'll never know
