Marvellous Lyrics
Oh you hope to fit, but you're fit to drop
So open up the window and jump into the blue
Things could be marvellous, things could be fabulous
Oh do you need a push, I'll push you off
Open up the window and jump into the blue
Things could be marvellous soon
Oh you hate to hit till you hit the top
Open up the window and jump into the blue
Things could be marvellous, things could be fabulous soon
Oh well these are the days and this is the life
There'll always be something on your mind
You'll never quite find
Won't you ever make your mind up
Now you'll never be sure if this is the time
If this is the moment, the end of the line
You'll never decide
You used to know but now you've forgotten
The submarine got stuck to the bottom
These are the days so wake up cos this is the time
And you know I'm right
So open up the window and jump into the blue
Things could be marvellous, things could be fabulous
Open up the window and jump into the blue
Things could be marvellous soon
Open up the window and jump into the blue
Things could be marvellous, things could be fabulous soon
There'll always be something on your mind
You'll never quite find
Won't you ever make your mind up
Now you'll never be sure if this is the time
If this is the moment, the end of the line
You'll never decide
You used to know but now you've forgotten
The submarine got stuck to the bottom
These are the days so wake up cos this is the time
And you know I'm right

I feel that this song is about living for today, and not putting things off until a later date.
"these are the days and this is the life" - THESE are the days, not yesterday, not tomorrow. Live for today - now. Don't get stuck to the bottom, wake up cos THIS is the time.
I like songs like this that have a good respectful meaning, aren't depressing, and have a thumping good tune to go along with them. Brilliant!
I love this song i bought a lightening seeds album from a charity shop, as i was bored of my cd collection, and this is a brilliant album really energising!
I know it isn't this, but it maybe says something about my frame of mind that I spent a long time thinking that the song was prompting a suicidal person to just go ahead and do it. Up beat, happy music juxtaposed with dark, sinister lyrics. The person always has something on their mind, 'fit to drop', generally troubled. They have thought about suicide, but don't know what is on the other side. If they just go ahead and do it, literally jump out of the window, things could be marvellous, the release would be marvellous. This is the time, the end of the line.
Even now when I look at the lyrics, they are completely consistent with the meaning I originally read into them.
I think this is about an experience, being disassociated from reality momentarily then trying to understand which way was real again.
