Lyrics
Well there's a great amount of strain
About getting on that train
Every day and every night
The only thing that makes it good
Is seeing my favourite sight
Prance and flutter stride down that green escalator yeah
When I'm getting off my train
And my love is on my brain
Every day and every night
The only thing that makes it right
Is seeing my favourite sight
Crying in the night with the summer in her eyes tonight
Fantastic day today
Fantastic day
Well I can find a funny feeling
Funny as a smile
When your mouth is all dry
Why?
Fantastic day today
Fantastic day
Well it's a fantastic day today
Well it's a fantastic day
I know I've lost myself again
True love has past me by
I tried to shave myself
Be a happier guy
Night and day
I can see it in your eyes
Now the summer never smiles
On a happy honey day
Am I being in the way?
When I'm so in love with you
I can't sit down and I cry in pain
With night and day
Fantastic day today
Fantastic day
Well it's a fantastic day today
Well it's a fantastic day

I was born in 71, raised in 81, and live in a musical time warp. Frankly I don't give a fuck. It's amazing how much really good music that just passed through the radio waves, effortlessly, all day long. great bands, musicians and singers. Haircut 100 was one of many great bands to listen to. You could listen to country, punk, metal, disco and pop all at the same time, and it would all be good. kids today just don't understand what they missed out on.

[@joylindadichamounix]

I was also born in 1971 (Year Of The Pig!). Music used to be so good. It dropped off in about 1987 for me & it has never been the same for me since.

[@davidhubbert9445]

The 80s just the best time to be alive can't believe this was 40 years ago where has the time gone.

Who's listening to this wishing it was 1982?

[@smiler2345]

Definitely, such happy days back then.

[@ReecieChan]

Richard Cook I wish it was 1982 even though I was born in 1996 - my manager was born in the 70’s and recommended that I listen to this band so here I am :) she says times were much better than now, more carefree

[@walchartgroup]

What I love about Haircut 100 is the sweetness of their music. Bright and, to me, innocent. Probably representative of my age when I discovered them and other 80's bands forever making their indelible impression on me musically.

[@laurenbest8269]

I was with 3000 or so Chelsea fans at Sheffield Weds in the 80’s singing this as we left the stadium,,,,, what a memory.

[@sabbat34]

What a memory. I was in Sheffield then. We were poor, but the music at the time was incredible.

[@coilonportente5226]

Summer 1982. Just started sales career. Had somehow fluked a big deal with a company in Saffron Walden. Drove back to Chelmsford in company Ford Escort estate, taking the country route, windows wound down, belting this out as loud as possible from the state-of-the-art, factory-fitted cassette player! ha ha! Singing it over and over at the top of my lungs! It really was a fantastic day! And 39 years later? I am back in that driving seat feeling dead good about myself, listening to this. Oh... and still selling! Still loving it as well!

I went into a barbershop back in 1989 and the guy told me I was his 100th customer so I have always had a love for this amazing band ❤

Such a happy joyful song, something you need these days to bring the cheer back 😊👍

[@strawberrylemonadekristina]

My God! Nick Heyward was such a charming cutie. I just love how he mugs for the camera. So adorable! And of course Fantastic Day is a fantastic song. Pure audio sunshine. 😊 The Golden Age of New Wave produced such catchy timeless singles.

@@ElvarMasson Nick Heyward is still around but he's just not as prominent in music as he used to be. I love his solo albums North Of A Miracle and From Monday To Sunday.

[@Leoviliti1]

I was seventeen when this song came out .. if raised in these great times ...we never in our minds, leave these times !

[@toffeeblue2201]

Nick Hayward is such a great artist. No way is this song 37 years old. They don't make songs like this nowadays.

[@thesunreport]

if you had this song going through your head, and you didn't know who it was by, and someone told you it was by Elvis Costello, then you would believe them I think. :)

[@michaeldeyes6457]

Nope it's 39 years old now

[@richarnold5323]

Back when this came out, Haircut 100 was promoted as an old-fashioned instrument-playing band, not a bunch of programmed synth - that was part of their appeal.

[@richard7645]

Songs about having fun - no they don't

Summer of 82. Classic.

[@rlaw2244]

Had failed my driving test 3 times. Woke up on the morning of the 4th test, with a big job interview afterwards in the afternoon. Put this on as I was getting ready, willing for everything come up trumps. Fluked the driving test and then got offered the job on the spot with £10k pay rise. Always get this on when I have a big day ahead now...

[@pennypay1]

Thinking back on 'Pelican West', a lot of effort went into those pop arrangements, a few with jazz-flavored instrumental parts. When I wore the album out I was just a giddy preteen who loved the fun sound, the quirky videos, and the cutest frontman who turned me into a total Anglophile. But they were a genuinely talented band. I like Heyward's solo work, but I wish Haircut 100 would record again...

[@PeterPan-tw3ye]

when you're down just listen to this and you'll feel great again

[@Mark-zv7wk]

Good pop song, toe tapper and timeless. Always nice to discover these.

My bedroom walls were covered in posters of Haircut 100 in the 80s. I was in love with Nick then and still have a crush on him!

[@gilespeterson6832]

The most underrated era of pop music.

No matter how f'd up the day might be for me this fun song usually deals with it. Now I'm getting married to my beautiful fiancee here in Texas on May 23 2023. That's going to definitely be a fantastic day. We can hardly wait.❤😂🎉

[@ravenhill_firelord_1968]

i loved this from the early 80s, along with the english beat and others of the same era.

[@jogon7914]

Legendary song. Released when I was just 8 way back in 1981. Still sounds like one of the greatest pop songs of the 80s. H100 had such a boys about town, urban, funky, groovy white soul vibe before Style Council had run with the idea more. Much better than professional posers like Duran Duran and Simple Minds etc. Truly great song.

[@HolyGoddessMotherAnne]

How dare you insult Simple Minds.

[@Yorkyscott]

Duran Duran were not professional posers. They are excellent musicians particularly John Taylor.
