Life is an endless succession of waves You're happy and you're sadAnd you don't appreciate good times Until you're in the badYou wake up some morning double you And you're twice as unhappyAs you've ever been before in your lifeYou get up, go to the window And you see smoke billowing across the lawnYou pick your feet up, drag yourself downstairs And you're goneYou wake up some morning double you And you're twice as unhappyAs you've ever been before in your lifeYou get up, go to the window And you see smoke billowing across the lawnYou get up, go to the window And you see smoke billowing across the lawnYou get up, go to the window And you see smoke billowing across the lawnYou wake up, look to your left But you see no reassuring headYou stay in bed all day And at six o'clock you realise you're deadYou wake up some morning double you And you see smoke billowing across the lawn
