I'm feelin' groovy, kickin' down the cobblestones
And there is music in every sight and every sound
No need for headphones
I'll tip my cap to the world even though I don't wear one
Grinnin' at the women in the salon gettin' their hair done

On the outside looking in like an aquarium
Spinnin' with the stars in the planetarium
Deliriously, mysteriously I'm feelin' curiously marvelously
'Super Duper' like Joss Stone

My heart melts like ice cream cones
Grinnin' like a dog diggin' up dinosaur bones
I used to be fossilized but now I'm out of my shell
And I'm happier than whores with chivalrous clientèle

This can't be real, I must be dreamin' could somebody slap me
I'm feelin' so mischievous, original cheeky chappy
It must be ages since I felt satisfied
Just to be Just Jack and just that, still intact

It's just another one of those glory days
Jump out your bed, shake your head, clear the haze
Step out your house and prepared to be amazed
It's just another one of those, just another one of those

Just another one of those glory days
Jump out your bed, shake your head, clear the haze
Step out your house and prepared to be amazed
It's just another one of those glory days

I'm so warm, new dawn, reborn, new forms
And I'm thinkin' about my boys Joelly chic and Freshly Sean
And I know you're underrated but one day we'll all make it
And walk around naked with our bullocks platinum plated

Anyway, I'm off track gotta stop that
And get back to the high street, I need somethin' to eat
Stop at the cafe, coffee and a salt beef bagel
Yeah, I know I'm Cain'd but now I'm feelin' Abel

I used to get so paranoid In places like this
Stayed in my house for days with my weed psychosis
My neurosis was thinkin' everybody's staring at my red eyes
And shifty expression but now I'm past carin'

And I can feel that destiny is on my side
And by the looks of things, fate came along for the ride
Behind green skies, I can see my girl's eyes
Damn it, I'm in love with this planet, you gotta realize

It's just another one of those glory days
Jump out your bed, shake your head, clear the haze
Step out your house and prepared to be amazed
It's just another one of those, just another one of those

Just another one of those glory days
Jump out your bed, shake your head, clear the haze
Step out your house and prepare to be amazed
It's just another one of those glory days

It's time to look to the future
Just when I was gettin' used to the humdrum
I realized in the depths of my depression
That I really wanted to be someone

So let's smash the past like a tacky figurine
On the back page of a supplementary magazine
But for the time being, bump your head to the beat
Sit back, put your feet up and relax

It's just another one of those glory days
Jump out your bed, shake your head, clear the haze
Step out your house and prepared to be amazed
It's just another one of those, just another one of those

Just another one of those glory days
Jump out your bed, shake your head, clear the haze
Step out your house and prepare to be amazed
It's just another one of those glory days
