"On Any Other Day" is a song written by Stewart Copeland and recorded by The Police in 1979.

About the song

When The Police recorded Outlandos d'Amour they had a lot of material to choose from. For Reggatta de Blanc they were kind of short of new songs. Sting came up with a few songs he had written on tour and also made use of material he wrote for Last Exit. So this LP also features a few "fillers" by Stewart Copeland that might have started as Klark Kent songs. It's Alright For You and On Any Other Day are two of those, where Stewart played all the instruments (except for the guitar solo on It's Alright For You). As they were still a bit short of material they even reused No Time This Time, the 1978 b-side for So Lonely. A great song from that period was shelved, probably as it didn't fit stylistically: Low Life.

D’ya want something corny? 
You got it. 

There's a house on my street 
And it looks real neat 
I'm the chap who lives in it 
There's a tree on the sidewalk 
There's a car by the door 
I'll go for a drive in it 
And when the wombat comes 
He will find me gone 
He'll look for a place to sit 

My wife has burned the scrambled eggs 
The dog just bit my leg 
My teenage daughter ran away 
My fine young son has turned out gay 

Cut off my fingers in the 
Door of my car 
How could I do it? 
My wife is proud to tell me 
Of her love affairs 
How could she do this to me?
 
My wife has burned the scrambled eggs 
The dog just bit my leg 
My teenage daughter ran away 
My fine young son has turned out gay 
And it would be O.K. on any other day 
And it would be O.K. on any other day 

Throw down the morning papers 
And spill my tea 
I don't know what's wrong with me 
The cups and plates are in a 
Conspiracy 
I'm covered in misery 

My wife has burned the scrambled eggs 
The dog just bit my leg 
My teenage daughter ran away 
My fine young son has turned out gay 
And it would be O.K. on any other day 
And it would be O.K. on any other day
