About Just a Day

"Just a Day" is a song by Feeder, released as the band's final single of 2001, notable for being their last with drummer Jon Lee. The Alan Moulder remix (previously released) is featured as the theme song for the UK version of Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec. It was first released on the "Seven Days in the Sun" single as a B-side. It was released as a single and was included on the UK version of the Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec soundtrack; it is a common misconception that "pressure from fans" was the reason. Despite having already appeared in the top 20 earlier in the year as a B-side, the single A-side release stayed in the UK top 20 for four weeks, peaking at number 12. It also peaked at number 47 in Ireland. It instantly became a regular to end the band's live sets, but has been occasionally rested from this position for a cover of "Breed" by Nirvana, while never used as one of the "Feeder covers" at Renegades gigs. "Just a Day" has sold over 100,000 downloads and physical copies combined. Feeder's performance of "Just a Day" on CD:UK in December 2001 was Feeder's last with Jon Lee. The week Jon Lee died, the band were due to appear on Top of the Pops performing "Can't Stand Losing You", a cover of The Police which appears on CD1 of this EP. Their place was taken by Ash performing "There's a Star". Before the release of the single, Feeder had already appeared on Later... with Jools Holland for the first time. This would be the last time Jon would perform with the band in a live setting as CD:UK was not fully live, they ended the show with the aforementioned "Can't Stand Losing You".

Waking up at twelve in my clothes again
Feel my head explode from a night of gin
Another night out late
I don't want to drink, don't want to be a clown
Gotta get my feet back on the ground
Before it pulls me in

How come it ended up like this?
And who's gonna catch me when I'm coming down
To hit the ground again

All by myself
Cause I don't want to drag you down
Hold you down, cause you're a friend
I blame myself
I guess you think it's funny now, funny now

On the underground the freaks and frowns
Looking at the world through silver clouds
But then it all came down
I gotta rise above the emotional flood
Gotta cut these ropes around my hands
Pull myself around

How come it ended up like this?
And who's gonna be there when I've lost control
I'm heading to crashland

All by myself
Cause I don't want to drag you down
Hold you down, cause you're a friend
I blame myself
I guess you think it's funny now, funny now

All by myself
Cause I don't want to drag you down
Hold you down, cause you're a friend
I blame myself
I guess you think its funny now, funny now
It's such a shame

All by myself
Cause I don't want to drag you down
Hold you down, cause you're a friend
I blame myself
I guess you think it's funny now, funny now
It's such a sin

All by myself
Cause I don't want to drag you down
Hold you down, cause you're a friend
I blame myself
I guess you think it's funny now, funny now
