One Day Lyrics - Singles - Polly Paulusma

One day, I'll take a bottle 

With a good strong base and a cork that fits it 

No label, no marker's mark 

I'll shout the bile and anger 

And plain disappointment in until I've almost filled it 

And then I'll squeeze the cork down hard 

I'll need a boat with a good strong sail 

To weather all the storms and the gales 

I'll grab that bottle, grip the rail and say my prayers 

And then I'll hail that bottle out 

Into the deep blue sea 

And then I'll sail away, yeah 

I'll hurl that bottle out 

So far, it can't hurt me 

One day, one day, one day 

One day, one day, one day 

One day, I'll take some canvas 

With a good strong seam 

And a hot air burner 

A basket, some sandbags and rope 

And I'll float above the earth in my balloon of steam 

Drifting further and further 

Over plains and mountain slopes 

I'll fly 'til I find the deepest lake 

A volcano about to awake 

I'll grab that bottle by the neck and say my prayers 

And then I'll hurl that bottle down 

Into the deep ravine 

I'll never hear it hit the ground, yeah 

I'll hurl that bottle down 

So far, it can't hurt me 

One day, one day, one day 

One day, one day, one day 

One day, one day, one day 

One day, I'll build a rocket 

With a thick blunt nose and a mega tonne engine 

A window to look at the moon 

And I'll burn through the stratosphere 

With fire in my tail, a comet ascending 

'Til I float in weightless gloom 

I won't turn back 'til I see the lunar plains 

The detail of the rugged terrain 

I'll grab that bottle full of pain and say my prayers 

And then I'll hurl that bottle down 

Onto the arid sea 

And then I'll fly away, yeah 

I'll hurl that bottle down 

So far, it can't hurt me 

One day, one day, one day
