about

Tall buildings are tumbling all over the world as missiles bomb from Yemen to Palestine, Ukraine to New York. This is a man telling about how he lost his love in such a event.

lyrics

Everyone's in mourning dressed in black and grey
I don't think I'll ever see the sunshine again
Since i lost my woman I got nothing left to lose
Today would be a good day to bury bad news

Since I lost my woman I find it hard to choose
This would be a good day to bury bad news.

Tall buildings tumbling, smoke up in the sky
headlines in the papers blood and sweat across my eye
commentators talking sounding so bemused
Today would be a good day to bury bad news

Since I lost my woman I been standing in the queues
This would be a good day to bury bad news.

She left here in the morning to make her way to work
She was eager to get started there was nothing she would shirk
She had a way of smiling, no one could refuse
Today would be a good day to bury bad news.

Since I lost my woman there's no one to accuse
This would be a good day to bury bad news.

Televisions replay. I watch without the sound
I can't stop myself from looking. It's like picking at a wound
It makes me wonder sometimes if it's just there to amuse
Today would be a good day to bury bad news

Since I lost my woman I been kneeling in the pews
This would be a good day to bury bad news.
