The band seemed to get a degree of support from their record label, Island, for their first two LPs, the hard edged "The Buck Pets," and the more melodic follow up "Mercurotones." The band also had opening spots on tour with larger acts such as Jane's Addiction, but in the end The Buck Pets brand of intelligent, crafted, alternative hard rock was probably a few a years too early to see commercial success. However, the band had a large following in the Dallas/Fort Worth and Norman, Oklahoma area who still miss them.
As a coda, the The Buck Pets released the more restrained, melancholy "To The Quick" -- a fine, almost totally ignored LP -- in 1993 on the independent label Restless.
Good Day
The Buck Pets Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or maybe not
But still I try, try, try, try!
You said one day, things would go your way
But I don't care
I get high, high, high, high!
One day, someday
Maybe one day
Maybe Monday
One day, someday
Such a good day
One day, someday
Never come day!
The Buck Pets's song Good Day is a perfect depiction of the struggles of life and the hope that we cling on to in the midst of them. The lyrics talk about the hope for better days, the driving force that pushes through it all, even when the end may not be in sight. The song affirms that sometimes we don't get what we want, and we may never do, but we still try. The repeated "try, try, try" emphasizes this persistence and the refusal to give up despite setbacks.

Maybe someday, I'll get what I want
I hope to achieve my dreams in the future
Or maybe not
But it's uncertain if I will actually achieve them
But still I try, try, try, try!
Nevertheless, I keep pushing myself to try and achieve my goals
You said one day, things would go your way
Someone told me that they will fulfill their desires in the future
But I don't care
But I am not interested in that
I get high, high, high, high!
Instead, I find happiness in other things and get intoxicated with them
You say one day
You think someday
One day, someday
At some future point, maybe
Maybe one day
Possibly, someday
Maybe Monday
Perhaps it'll happen on Monday
One day, someday
At some unforeseeable point in the future
Such a good day
That day would be amazing
One day, someday
At any point, even the distant future
Never come day!
But that day may never ever come
