The Great Escape

Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] Today could be the day you might make a change Lock yourself indoors and plan a getaway Take a walk outside in the heavy weather The British summertime's just great, whatever Join a local gang and get a cool nickname Make your lifelong sweetheart your ball and chain Convert your self-belief for a new religion Or leave the TV on, make a decision when you're [Chorus] Waiting for the day you're not looking for something else For something else Waiting for the day you're not looking for something else For something else [Verse 2] Go put your last five pounds on the lottery If you're not in it to win it, well, then you won't receive Then maybe place all your winnings on an outsider And if it wins you'll be grinnin' and you can celebrate Six months of our lives are at a red light And there's a thousand chances to get it right So put your foot in the door because it's free admission Or leave the TV on, make a decision when you're [Chorus] Waiting for the day you're not looking for something else For something else Waiting for the day you're not looking for something else For something else [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Break away your ties and find a new squeeze Show a local scheme your generosity Stand back in the shadows and be a right-hand man Buy a brand new semi next door to the Taliban Who knows what's around the bend? Stay up get drunk with all your best friends Celebrate your side to a new division Or leave the TV on, make your own decisions [Chorus] Waiting for the day you're not looking for something else For something else Waiting for the day you're not looking for something else For something else Waiting for the day you're not looking for something else For something else Waiting for the day you're not looking for something else For something else [Outro] Don't let your day grow long before it 'comes a week Go and make a change before the big sleep
