Seen Better Days
These are the white paper daisies in outback Australia.
Seen better days, goes the popular song of the moment, Pete Murray.

Here's the lyrics; it plays in cafes, cars, where ever you go.
"Better Days"
And I saw it coming
I saw emptiness and tragedy
And I felt like runningSo far away
But knew I had to stay
And I know when I'm older
I look back and I still feel the pain
I know I'll be stronger and I know I'll be fine
For the rest of my daysI've seen better days
Put my face in my handsGet down on my knees and I pray to God
Hope he sees me through till the end
I noticed the smallest things
But I didn't notice the change
It was hot in the morning
Then it turned so cold, twas the end of the day
There was no condensation I just felt like I was in space
I needed my friends there I just turned around
They were gone without a traceI've seen better days
Put my face in my handsGet down on my knees and I pray to God
Hope he sees me through till the end
Now I have just started
And I won't be done till the end
There's nothing I have lost
That was once placed upon the palm of my hands
And all of these hard timesHave faded round the bend
Now that I'm wiser I cannot wait
Till I can help my friendsI've seen better days
Put my face in my hands
Get down on my knees and I pray to God
Hope he sees me through till the end
Seen better days
Put my face in my hands
Get down on my knees and I pray to God
Hope he sees me through till the end
Seen betterNa Na Na Na Na Na Na [x4]
