I remember that day when we say inside the surgery
said goodbye to the man as he disappeared though the door
heard from a friend only a few weeks later
That he'd taken his life 'cos he just couldn't take any more

Hey Joe, how did I do, did I fill it up?
And did my ex-girlfriend decide she just couldn't turn up
Did they play my favourite song, were my mam and dad alright?
If I could have these questions answered, I'd do it tonight

I see the flowers on the bridge and it really makes me sad
and now they've placed them in the car park and on the railway track
And I sit down and think and I get so confused
Because the song they played was, "Oh What A Perfect Day"

Hey Joe, how did I do, did I fill it up?
And did my ex-girlfriend decide she just couldn't turn up
Did they play my favourite song, were my mam and dad alright?
If I could have these questions answered, I'd do it tonight

I'll do it tonight you say but you never get round to it
I know you you'll leave it till you've got nothing better to do
I'll do it tonight you say and when you finally get round to it
You stop and think that there could be someone for you

Hey Joe, how did I do, did I fill it up?
And did my ex-girlfriend decide she just couldn't turn up
Did they play my favourite song, were my mam and dad alright?
If I could have these questions answered, I'd do it tonight
