Merritt Buttrick (Here Now Today)
(Wet Mix)
"I am the milkman of human kindness. I will leave an extra pint."
--B. Bragg
(Epigram on original lyrics.)
From the moment you get up it's a stupid life without you. From the moment you get up you're a credit to your nation. I'll take one more day like this for a hundred of the others. I'll take one more day like this. Are you buying? Are you buying? You can tell from leaking light that it's a sullen, city day. You're alive. That's a struggle. I can see that. But it's a hundred bucks if you wake up or lose a thousand if you don't. You're awake. That's a problem. 'Cause it's raining. I can see that. Tell yourself that all these problems face their likely demise in your lover. If you're a man, my friend -- any man, and I don't care if we're not the same. You could sound like Rush. Or Gary Numan, if you wanted. Stand tall and shrug it off as just another crazy thing. You're a boy. I can see. Boys will be. Boys will be boys. Tell yourself that everything will be much better today from the moment you get up it's a stupid life without you. From the moment you get up You're a credit to your nation. I'll take one more day like this for a hundred of the others. I'll take one more day like this. Are you buying? Are you buying? Elevate you to a new expression of how much from the moment you wake up. You're a credit to your nation. From the moment you wake up it's a stupid life without you. I'll take one more day like this with a hundred of the others. I'll take one more day like this. Are you buying? Are you buying?
