he needed extra cash

so he drove his brother's cab

the day we heard the news

you know

it really hit us bad

yeah

it was the day that arthur died

it was the day that arthur died

a black gelato van

finished for the day

it met with arthur's taxi head-on

down st. kilda way

by the prince of wales

hey

that was the way that arthur died

upon the day that arthur died

i cried

arthur played the bass

he had an angel's face

no one's ever gonna take his ever loving place

no

since the day that arthur died

ever since the day that arthur died

ever since the day that arthur died
