Good Morning World
B.B.M. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nothing to say but what a day how's your boy been
Nothing to do it's up to you
I've got nothing to say but it's OK
Good morning, good morning
Going to work don't want to go feeling low down
Heading for home you start to roam then you're in town
Everything is closed it's like a ruin
Everyone you see is half asleep.
And you're on your own you're in the street
Good morning, good morning
After a while you start to smile now you feel cool.
Then you decide to take a walk by the old school.
Nothing has changed it's still the same
I've got nothing to say but it's OK
Good morning, good morning
People running round it's five o'clock.
Everywhere in town is getting dark.
Everyone you see is full of life.
It's time for tea and meet the wife.
Somebody needs to know the time, glad that I'm here.
Watching the skirts you start to flirt now you're in gear.
Go to a show you hope she goes.
I've got nothing to say but it's OK
Good morning, good morning
The opening lines of "Good Morning World" set the scene for the rest of the song. The first verse tells the story of a man who has nothing to do and is calling his wife. From this, it can be inferred that he is perhaps unemployed or retired. The lyrics suggest that the man is feeling somewhat lost and doesn't have much to say. However, he reassures himself (and the listener) that everything is okay.
The second verse seems to be about the daily grind of going to work or wandering aimlessly around town. Everything is closed, and everyone seems to be half-asleep. The verse captures the monotony of day-to-day life and the feeling of being stuck in a rut.
But then, the tone of the song shifts. After a while, the man starts to smile and feel cool. He takes a walk by the old school, and it's clear that nothing has changed. But somehow, everything is okay. The final verse is a celebration of life, with people running around, going to shows, and flirting. The song ends on a positive note, with the man having nothing in particular to say but feeling okay about it.
Overall, "Good Morning World" is a song about finding contentment in the ordinary moments of life, even when it seems like there's nothing happening. It's a song that celebrates the beauty of routine and the joy of small pleasures.
