[TEAK36]

As far as I can remember, yes they did.The only lyrics I can remember though,are 'so begins another weary day'.

[Closer]

Grey Day - Madness When I get home it's late at night, I'm black and bloody from my life, I haven't time to clean my hands, Cuts will only sting me through my dreams. It's well past midnight as I lie In a semi-conscious state. I dream of people fighting me Without any reason I can see. In the morning I awake, My arms my legs my body aches, The sky outside is wet and grey So begins another weary day. So begins another weary day. After eating I go out, People passing by me shout. I can't stand this agony Why don't they talk to me? In the park I have to rest I lie down and I do my best, The rain is falling on my face I wish I could sink without a trace. In the morning I awake, My arms my legs my body aches, The sky outside is wet and grey, So begins another weary day. So begins another weary day. In the park I have to rest I lie down and I do my best, The rain is falling on my face I wish I could sink without a trace. In the morning I awake, My arms my legs my body aches, The sky outside is wet and grey, So begins another weary day. So begins another weary day. probably one of their best singles in my opinion...think it was on the seven album

This was actually one of the first songs Mike Barson wrote for Madness, before they started gigging. He reckoned it wouldn't fit with their early material, especially when the ska boom took off. He also reckoned it was too pop, bizarre considering the lyrics. And it was on the album Seven!
