A little Wednesday pick-me-up

You know those days. Those days, where as soon as you wake up everything that can go wrong does. You just know that the rest of the day is going to be awful too. And you know that if you were smart you would call in sick to work and just crawl back into bed for the entire day.

Well, I have found my instant pick-me-up for the days when I am just not sensible enough to stay at home and sulk:

Accidentally Kelly Street- Frente

here's a door and
here's a window
here's the ceiling
here's the floor
the room is lit like
a black and white movie
the t.v.'s on, that's what it's for
and if you walk real slowly
you can feel the planet breathe
there's no need to feel so lowly
now that we've all learned to give

accidently kelly street
where friends and strangers
sometimes meet
accidently kelly street
i never thought life
could be so sweet

in the garden birds are singing
the sun is shining on the path
the wind is talking to the flowers
the dogs and cats all take a bath
and if you stop that talking
you can hear the traffic sigh
throw away those keys
start walking, watch those
tiny things go by

accidently kelly street
where friends and strangers
sometimes meet
accidently kelly street
i never thought life
could be so sweet

it's sunday everyday
and there's no need to rush around
inside of everybody there's sun
and laughter to be found
it seems that we're on holidays
and sleeping in is not a sin
all the housework's done by teatime
i'm feeling good about
the way i've been

perhaps this optimism
will crash on down
like a house of cards
i know that my decision
to change my life was not that hard

accidently kelly street
where friends and strangers
sometimes meet
accidently kelly street
i never thought life
could be so sweet

accidently kelly street
where friends and strangers
sometimes meet
accidently kelly street
i never thought life
could be so sweet

accidently...
accidently...
accidently kelly street
i never thought life
could be so sweet!

This song has been voted THE worst Australian song of all time..many many times. Joel calls it my 'sesame street' song. And yet I can't help but smile whenever I hear it.

It is the most sickly sweet, over-the-top, catchy, 'shoves happiness down your throat' song I have ever heard. How could that ever be a bad thing?

What is your instant pick-me-up when you're having a bad day?




Note: just don't ever watch the original video clip. Even I can't stomach that.
