Good Good Day Lyrics

[Verse 1]
See the little cloud up in the sky
It's a good good day today
See the little cloud pass on by
It's a good good day today
Mary comes now, let Mary be
Can you see her down on the street?
Mary's laughing 'cause Mary sees
That she's a-wearin' that dress for me

[Verse 2]
There can be times
Yeah... When all things come together
Yeah... Under a clear sky and you can believe
Yeah... You hold your breath for this moment
Yeah... But do not breathe for this day I know
Is a good day, yes I know
It's a good day, yeah I know
Today...
Hear her feet skipping up the stairs
It's a good good day today
She is the answer to all of my prayers
It's a good good day today
Mary comes now, she don't knock
'Cause she's runnin' on her own little clock
Mary's laughing 'cause Mary knows
That this day was made for us
And any fool knows... yeah
And any fool sees
That the future... yeah
Is a-down on its knees
But let 'em all cry, let 'em weep
Let those tears roll down their cheeks
[Verse 3]
'Cause I can believe in the one
That is standing in front of me
Oh this day, don't you know
Is a good day, yes I know
It's a good day, I told you so
Today...
See her breasts how they rise and fall
It's a good good day today
And she knows I've used that line before

It's a good good day today
Mary's laughing, she don't mind
'Cause she knows she's one of a kind
Mary's happy just to be
Standing next to me
And any fool knows
Yeah...
That the wind always blows
Something to someone
Yeah...
Once in a while, so let it rain, let it fall
Let the wind howl through your door
'Cause right now for this moment
I'll forever be
Standing next to her
On this day, which I know
Is a good day, yeah I know
Oh, it's a good day, I told you so
Today...

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds' “Good Good Day” was released as the B-side to “As I Sat Sadly By Her Side”, a single from their 2001 album No More Shall We Part and later included on both the 2005 compilation B-Sides & Rarities and the 2011 re-release of No More Shall We Part.

The song is notable as a marked departure from the darker themes of the rest of Cave’s output during this period.
