   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
