Days Like These

To the gods in the sky, there's one thing you can do
You can send us some sun and we'll play you this tune
Because sitting in our room, lying down with a scoob
And the sunshine through our window

It's days like these that make us happy
Like a puppy getting lucky with Lassie
Hassle-free hours passing by with the beat (one, two)
Singing days like these, kicking back
Just doing what we do
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh

Number one, I'd find some loving in the sun
With someone that can make me growl and hum, say hm
A boom-boom-boom-shack
And the beat that she throw at me knocking me flat

Number two, I'd cruise where the grass is smooth
And the sound of the sea is a dreamy melody
Snooze all afternoon
'Til the night time wake me 'cause shakedown soon

Number three, I'd be dancing like a monkey up a tree
I'd find sweet simplicity by kissing my honey
Get funky like Bond when he's played by Connery
And crafty like Don Corleone

Four, watching Oliver jam a little more
Remember the night when I saw?
What I never never never seen before
Lavender wrestling a rich wild boar

Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh

It's days like these that make us happy
Like a puppy getting lucky with Lassie
Hassle-free hours passing by with the beat (one, two)
Singing days like these, kicking back
Just doing what we do
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh

Whack, beats splat
Woke up on the attack
Work myself frantic to the moon and back
Now it's evening and the sausages are frying out back
I write my rhyme for this track
As the sky fade to black

Now I remember earlier in the day
As I was swimming through the bay
A bass player I know swum my way
He said "g'day, hey, you wanna go see some reggae?
Starts at 8:00 and plays through to sunrise the next day"

So nine o'clock sees me heading out towards the tabernacle
Hardcore reggae beat bring my feet out of these shackles
Hardcore reggae DJ, I Salute you
Crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle of the vinyl
Now I'm high, now a spectacular night ahead

I met a Mexican called Juan ("there's a party on the hill, would you like to come?")
Yeah ("and bring a bottle of rum")
Can't afford it, but I bought it, and then I sung

It's nights like these when you know that you're alive
Nights like these when you know that you got fire
Nights like these when don't have to try
Fall in love and kiss and smile from every girl walking by

I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
And my eyes want to cry
'Cause the night and the sky is so high
And my life is sublime and it's mine and it's time (is now one)

It's nights like these when you know that you're alive
Nights like these when you know that you got fire
Nights like these when you laugh until you cry
Nights like these when I'm drowning in your eyes

It's nights like these when you know that you're alive (I feel like I've been living)
Nights like these when you know that you got fire (my life from the beginning)
Nights like these when you laugh until you cry (and all the songs I'm singing)
Is all the love I'm giving

It's days like these that make us happy
Like a puppy getting lucky with Lassie
Hassle-free hours passing by with the beat (one, two)
Singing days like these, kicking back
Just doing what we do
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh

And dirty hands, I like them see
They make the music that we play sound oh so sweet
And my mother always made me eat broccoli
And now look at me, I'm as strong as can be
So put some spice in my sauce, honey in my tea
An ace up my sleeve and a slinky plan B
And most importantly, my mad family
They named me Lucky and for that
I'll sing about days like these
