‘Days’ by The Kinks would have been a song where the words would have been known more from repeated hearing rather than from any considered reading of the words. That was until I came across this headstone in St. Michael’s Cemetery in Mahon. Having listened to the song again in a new light; having read the lyrics; and, even having listened to Ray Davies discuss the origins of the song; I am surprised that I have not heard it at a funeral as a celebration of life. Well done Jimmy O’Shea to have that written with you in mind. 
Why can’t I change my spots and let punctuation errors pass me by – some day I might chill out a little. | "Thank you for the days |
