The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, "The Day He Didn't Die" from Pay Attention (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary:

"How could I forget
The day that he didn't die?
That day he knew what he was up to,
He had this look in his eye.
How could I forget?
There's no way I could forget him
Or ever forget the day.

The day after that
Just after the afternoon,
It was the day after Christmas,
In his living room.
He died on that day,
In his house, with his wife,
Still I won't forget the day
Before the last day of his life.

I really miss him,
He would have loved this,
I hope he can hear me.
I really miss him,
He would have loved this,
I hope he can hear me.

And how I loved how he lived,
How he was loved and admired,
A knack, a certain flair* for life,
And how he had it wired.
He'd never give up,
He wouldn't give in,
He had a wonderful way of living.

There's not been a day,
One hasn't gone by,
When I don't think about
The day he didn't die.

I really miss him,
He would have loved this,
I hope he can hear me.
(repeat)"

*The liner notes for Pay Attention read "a certain flare for life," but I assume that no one paid attention enough to catch the error, as the context clearly indicates an intended "certain flair for life."

Bog, this is a beautiful song, one I certainly intend to instruct to be played at my wake.
