lyrics

It’s 6:45 on a Thursday morning, I’m always up with the lark
I don’t try, this is my calling. The rubbish patriarch
Obsessive? No. That’s just my sense of purpose
Like Wombles utilising all that’s surplus to requirement

It’s going to be a lovely day, it’s bin day
It’s going to be a lovely day, it’s bin day
Oh such splendour to behold all lined up neatly down the road
Every colour can be seen, bins of Black and brown and blue and green

The guy next door put out his blue bin, but left on my drive
I’m now the owner of two blue bins, I’ve never felt so alive
Predicting everything my neighbour’s thinking
Clearly they can see how much I’m drinking every night and day

It’s going to be a lovely day, it’s bin day
It’s going to be a lovely day, it’s bin day
I can’t put them out at night, for fear of waking to the sight
The storms might rage and weather beat
I’d find my bins all strewn across the street

With non-conformity at play, don’t know why it occurs
Wrong stuff. Wrong way. Wrong bin. Wrong day. They’re all bin amateurs
Respecting all the rules and regulations
In awe of such a noble occupation taking all our stuff

It’s going to be a lovely day, it’s bin day
It’s going to be a lovely day, it’s bin day
I might circumnavigate the rules and include garden waste
Or cardboard oversized instead, so don’t you tell me that bin-punk is dead

Anxiety had reached a peak, as off on holiday next week
I’d miss the day that I adore, my bins redundant on the floor
We’ll pack their contents in the car, and take it to Bin Shangri-la
Where all the rubbish can be found, unto the sacred refuse hallowed ground

The night before we set off on our holiday
A call came from Diana who’s across the way
A offer made with little fuss, (said) she put our bins out for us
Reassured I’m not so odd, there’s someone else who worships my bin-God

It’s going to be a lovely day, it’s bin day
Every day’s like Christmas Day, on bin day
If there’s a bank holiday it just means a slight delay
Enthusiasm will remain
‘Cause it won’t be long ‘til bin day’s back again
