About Bad Day

This song is saying that even if you have a bad day once in a while, things will get better. In Europe, it was released in 2005 and became a hit when Coca-Cola used it as the theme song for an advertising campaign on the continent. It topped the Italian and German charts and was #2 in England for 3 weeks. In America, Powter’s album was released in 2006, and this song became a hit when the TV show American Idol started using it as a theme for the “goodbye video” for the departing contestants who were voted off the show on the fifth season. .

Bad Day Lyrics

[00:07.72] Where is the moment we needed the most?
[00:14.39] You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
[00:19.55]
[00:21.57] They tell me your blue skies fade to grey
[00:24.76] They tell me your passion's gone away
[00:28.14] And I don't need no carryin' on
[00:35.32] You stand in the line just to hit a new low
[00:41.95] You're faking a smile with the coffee to go
[00:48.81] And tell me your life's been way offline
[00:52.38] You're falling to pieces every time
[00:55.76] And I don't need no carryin' on
[01:00.58] 'Cause you had a bad day, you're taking one down
[01:04.24] You sing a sad song just to turn it around
[01:07.99] You say you don't know, you tell me, "Don't lie"
[01:11.13] You work at a smile, and you go for a ride
[01:14.56] You had a bad day, the camera don't lie
[01:18.07] You're coming back down, and you really don't mind
[01:21.42] You had a bad day
[01:24.66] You had a bad day
[01:28.15]
[01:40.05] Well, you need a blue sky holiday
[01:43.74] The point is they laugh at what you say
[01:47.29] And I don't need no carryin' on
[01:52.24] You had a bad day, you're taking one down
[01:55.80] You sing a sad song just to turn it around
[01:59.13] You say you don't know, you tell me, "Don't lie"
[02:02.64] You work at a smile, and you go for a ride
[02:06.38] You had a bad day, the camera don't lie
[02:09.45] You're coming back down, and you really don't mind
[02:12.94] You had a bad day
[02:16.55]
[02:20.84] Sometimes the system goes on the blink
[02:23.79] And the whole thing turns out wrong
[02:27.45] You might not make it back, and you know
[02:30.35] That you could be well, oh, that strong
[02:33.58] And I'm not wrong, yeah
[02:39.72]
[02:42.02] So where is the passion when you need it the most?
[02:46.51] Oh, you and I
[02:48.82] You kick up the leaves, and the magic is lost
[02:53.94] 'Cause you had a bad day, you're taking one down
[02:57.66] You sing a sad song just to turn it around
[03:01.02] You say you don't know, you tell me, "Don't lie"
[03:04.52] You work at a smile, and you go for a ride
[03:07.94] You had a bad day, you've seen what you like
[03:11.31] And how does it feel for one more time?
[03:14.88] You had a bad day
[03:17.72] You had a bad day
[03:21.73] Ah, had a bad day
[03:27.54] Ah, had a bad day
[03:34.29] Ah, had a bad day
[03:40.86] Ah...
[03:43.34]
