One Day At A Time Lyrics - Hugh Cornwell

Hear people complaining 

They say they got dealt 

The roughest deal 

They cry when it's raining 

No bread for the latest meal 

But if there's no heaven 

You can be sure there's no hell 

And if there's no devil 

There won't be no god to hear you yell 

See people get holy 

They're turning some plain water to wine 

They're living life slowly 

They can look up and see 

The day turn fine 

But ask them the question 

And no answer is there 

Whether you're eastern or western 

There's only one pace that we can share 

One day at a time 

See people get sickly 

The shock passes down from bad to worse 

The backs up and prickly 

Roll in a ball and pretend 

You got no purse 

But if this continues where does it all end? 

I'm in the retinue 

Till i see broken wishes mend 

One day at a time 

So when you get lonely 

Be good to yourself and bless the day 

Know you are the only 

One who can deliver what i say 

Try fighting the fever 

Try popping the pill 

Become a believer 

Try separating life from still 

One day at a time
