  Dear diary, what a day it's been

It was cold out, side my door

It's over, will tomorrow be the same

  Dear diary, it's been just like a dream

So many, people by the score

I know that, they're really not to blame

  Woke up too late, wasn't where I should have been

Rushing around, so senselessly

If they weren't so blind, then surely they'd see

  For goodness sake, what's happening to me

They don't notice, there's people like me

There's a much better way, for them to be

  Write lightly, yours truly, dear diary Go %(2)

Write lightly, yours truly, dear diary

Inside me, yours truly, dear diary Go &

  They don't know what they're playing

  No they've no way of knowing what the game is

  So they carry on doing what they can

  Outside me, and politely, dear diary Go %(3)

  Dear diary, it was cold today

  Bit of sun came out later

  So I went out and strolled about looking at the shops

  Didn't really see anything I liked, so I didn't buy anything

On the way home I posted a letter

  Been quite a nice day

  Somebody exploded an H-bomb today, afraid it wasn't anybody I knew
