Brilliant Day - Toyah

Willcox/Fripp/Gunn/Beavis)

As we drove off in your car

Didn’t need to return til sun-down

So we headed out of town through the fields and trees

Away from city slickers and those in need

To be kings for a day

Alone in your bubble in your mobile world

You at the wheel brimmed full of stories

He on the back seat dreaming of glory

He was in the cockpit of a Westland Lysander

Shooting at the dull grey-day shoppers

Always knew when he looked at me

I’d shiver as if touched by electricity

We three

Will never be again

Life will hold us apart

Sense of touch

Was in the air

Tactility

On this brilliant day

Brilliant day

Brilliant day

Up the drive to an old manor house

Butler by the door with a welcome smile

Securely sewn in life’s tapestry

We ate like Lords and Lady

Like a needle and thread on embroidery

We’re so complete in our company

I could have cried as we dived into the jaws

I’d shiver as if touched by electricity

We three

Will never be again

Life will hold us apart

Sense of touch

Was in the air

Tactility

On this brilliant day

Brilliant day

Brilliant day

Brilliant day
