about
This song was originally written for Mrs Dave but it referred to specific presents that were bought for her on her 25th birthday and therefore lacked mass appeal. It was rewritten from the point of view of Dave on every single birthday of his miserable life.
lyrics
You are 365 days older
That's another year
that you didn't get hit by a car
No deadly blood-borne viruses
Or stabbings at the bar
No falling to your death
in the lion's enclosure
No electrical shocks
No forks in the toaster
And I'm happy to report you didn't drown...
...In the bath, or cross paths
With the sandwich that finished Mama Cass
Did not find it hard to breathe
Cos bee-stings don't provoke a fatal allergy
You never run with scissors
Wear a helmet on your bike
You'd rather walk than run
But you'd rather run than fight
You read the morning weather warning
on the website
So no avalanches for you
And no giant hailstones for you
No falling cranes
Or de-railed trains
Or crashing planes for you
I'm glad that you are 365 days older
But I know that this can't go on indefinitely
So until they say when
And the walls cave in
Thanks for sticking around with me
