Oh Happy Day

Franco make me laugh

Cos the kids are all asleep

And the drugs begin to sing beneath my skin

And happiness takes hold like a sickness in the soul

It is Summer, it is high time we were gone

So put the children into care

Booby-trap the bedsit as you leave

Throw the dog into the Grand Canal

Scrawl your last words on some toilet door

And as you go you will be borne aloft

By ducks and flying dogs

And all the raggy dolls and amputees

Will sing about their loss

I woke up in a shoe today

I woke up with sticky hands and swollen glands and a blue dick

And all the peelers banging on about

The stain, the stain, the awful stain

The stain upon my soul

And now I'm close enough to hell to feel

The flames beneath the floor

Tell yourself another lie

Get drunk! What a guy!

So Franco make me laugh

Cos the kids are all asleep

And the drugs begin to sing beneath my skin

And happiness takes hold like a sickness in the soul

It is Summer, it is high time we were gone

I wish I was a great big kiss

I wish I was a brand new pair of pants

I was I was a fresh tattoo

I wish I was the smell of cheap perfume

But of all the rain that ever fell down upon my bones

This time is burrowed in beneath my skin

And watered down my soul

Happy as a pig in shit

Happy as a pig in shit

And Franco make me laugh

Cos the kids are all asleep

And the drugs begin to sing beneath my skin

And happiness takes hold like a sickness in the soul

It is Summer, it is high time we were gone

You're happy when the lights go out

Happy when the hand has lost control

And you're happy in the wreckage after all

Oh Happy Day
