Golden Autumn Day

<br>Well I heard the bells ringing, I was thinking about winning<br><br>In this God forsaken place<br><br>When my confidence was well, then I tripped and I felt<br><br>Right flat on my face<br><br>Now Im standing erect, and I feel like coming back<br><br>And the sun is shining gold<br><br>Put a smile on my face, get back in the human race<br><br>And get on with the show<br><br><br><br>And Im taking in the indian summer<br><br>And Im soaking it up in my mind<br><br>And Im pretending that its paradise<br><br>On a golden autumn day, on a golden autumn day<br><br>On a golden autumn day, an a golden autumn day<br><br><br><br>In the wee midnight hour I was parking my car<br><br>In this dimly lit town,<br><br>I was attacked by two thugs, who took me for a mug<br><br>And shoved me down on the ground<br><br>And they pulled out a knife, and I fought my way up<br><br>As they scarpered from the scene<br><br>Well this is no new york street, and theres no bobby on the beat<br><br>And things aint just what they seem<br><br><br><br>And Im taking in the indian summer<br><br>And Im soaking it up in my mind<br><br>And Im pretending that its paradise<br><br>On a golden autumn day, on a golden autumn day<br><br>On a golden autumn day, an a golden autumn day<br><br><br><br>Who would think this could happen in a city like this<br><br>Among blakes green and pleasant hills,<br><br>And we must remember as we go through september<br><br>Among these dark satanic mills<br><br>If theres such a thing as justice I could take them out and flog them<br><br>In the nearest green field<br><br>And it might be a lesson to the bleeders of the system<br><br>In this whole society<br><br><br><br>And Im taking in the indian summer<br><br>And Im soaking it up in my mind<br><br>And Im pretending like its paradise<br><br>On a golden autumn day, on a golden autumn day<br><br>On a golden autumn day, on a golden autumn day, golden autumn day ...
