Every Day Lyrics
Can you light a fire in Winter's face
Or say why a life has gone to waste
Pleasure Island was an overcrowded place
Cleopatra's Needle conquered fear
One more nail in your coffin dear
Endless torture for at least two thousand years
Every day
What's the use of friendship, who am I
Hell bent on destruction, how I tried
You became a ghost to me long before you died
Or say why a life has gone to waste
Pleasure Island was an overcrowded place
One more nail in your coffin dear
Endless torture for at least two thousand years
Hell bent on destruction, how I tried
You became a ghost to me long before you died

Hackett's "Every Day" is spoken from the point of view of one who has failed to get a friend clean and sober and off drugs, and has failed -- the friend is now dead, though had already behaved like a zombie.
Mr. Hackett discloses what this song represents in his autobiography, 'A Genesis in My Bed.' It's about his first love, Barbara, and specifically that she became a herion user which drove them apart. She was not dead when this song was written, and he did have subsequent sightings but only was sympathetic to her.. Basically a lovely song about his initial experience of drug additicion of a close friend.
