Any Day Above Ground - James Reyne

Took a look around this cocktail landscape

At the mud and the blood and the beer

No more Balmain irony

No more clubhouse cheer

Red salmon running way up the river

Red sky’s a sailor’s delight

Mother’s stand in their calendered kitchens

Blue Hills broke the night

Chorus ~

She caught my eye

Said don’t you deny

Surround yourself with light

She said

Any day above ground is a good day

Any moment alone with you

Any day above ground is a good day and true

We were sittin' and a’chewing Marlboros

Smoking on the red brick flats

Calling all the cars on Davey Street

Laughing at the boys in black

Chorus +

Any day above ground is a good day

Any moment alone with you

Any day above ground is a good day and true

She caught my eye

Said don’t you deny

Surround yourself with light

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

She caught my eye

Said don’t you deny

Surround yourself with light

Chorus

Any day above ground is a good day

Any moment alone with you

Any day above ground is a good day and true

She said

Any day above ground is a good day

Any moment alone with you

Any day above ground is a good day and true
