Bad Day All WeekSam Smith

Songwriter: William John Pearce Victoria Hemmings John Conlon

[Verse 1]
You take me over hither[?] to meet your ex-lover
You let me out of your box every other day
Once upon a month
I used to be a lover in love with you
Now I'm in chains

[Pre-Chorus]
Now, I'm just here
And I'm happier than you could ever imagine
Now, I'm here
And I'm happy for being a dreamer

Hey
Nobody told me it would be like this
Hey
Something's gotta be like this

[Chorus]
Nothing getting better and nothing ever changes
Had a bad day all week, but I guess you knew about it
Nothing's getting better and nothing ever changes
Had a bad day all week
Had a bad day all week

Ah-ah-ah-oh

[Verse 2]
You don't deserve to be writ[?] about, you're so being
I can't bring myself to say your name
I stopped calling you long ago
And I'm so happy now you'd never know

[Pre-Chorus]
Now, I'm just here
And I'm happier than you could ever imagine
Now, I'm here
And I happy for being a dreamer

Hey
Some things will never be the same
Hey
I'm sick and tired of your singing, singing

[Chorus]
Nothing's getting better and nothing ever changes
Had a bad day all week, but I guess you knew about it
Nothing's getting better and nothing ever changes
Had a bad day all week
Had a bad day all week

Ah-ah-ah-oh

Nothing's getting better and nothing ever changes
Had a bad day all week, but I guess you knew about it
Nothing's getting better and nothing ever changes
Had a bad day all week
Had a bad day all week

Ah-ah-ah-oh

Sam Smith

Sam Smith was born on 19th May 1992 and grew up in a rural village on the border of Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire, the nearest town being Bishops Stortford. They’re the oldest of three siblings and are said to be close to their younger sisters. Their mother is a successful City of London trader and their father a stay-at-home dad who brought up the children.

Smith showed an early talent for singing, and their parents responded by arranging singing lessons from the age of eight with professional jazz singer and songwriter, Joanna Eden. At the early age of seventeen, they left school to pursue their dream, living in a small one-bed flat and working in a London pub, but ended up isolated and beset by loneliness.

Sam knew they were gay, they said, for as long as they could remember. They suffered bullying at school and were shocked to find that even in London—close to gay communities—they were subjected to homophobic attacks. These negative experiences, combined with an inherently emotional nature, inform their songwriting and delivery. The soulful, beautifully rich tone of their voice and the subject of the lyrics ‘speak’ to many people and have led to their success.
