Song | Happy Flower |
Artist | Nellie McKay |
Album | Pretty Little Head |
You and me | |
We sweat, we slave | |
We gamble recklessly | |
As if a dagger in the dark | |
Me and you | |
We misbehave | |
We trample fecklessly | |
Upon the bladder of our hearts | |
But it’s a happy flower in the mornin' sun | |
And it’ll keep perfumin' when the mornin's done | |
This ain’t no tacky flower in a masquerade | |
And it’ll keep on bloomin' 'til it steals the shade | |
Of the garden 'neath our window pane | |
You and me | |
We leave, we lie | |
We're runnin' through the ramble | |
Off the road of sad goodbyes | |
Me and you | |
We tease, we try | |
We're cuttin' off the ample charms | |
Put forward from the skies | |
But it’s a happy flower in the mornin' sun | |
And it’ll keep on glowin' when the mornin's done | |
And though our happy flower doesn't make a sound | |
Well, it’ll keep growin' 'til it fills the ground | |
Of the garden 'neath our window pane | |
Happy flower, happy flower | |
Happy flower, happy flower | |
Happy flower, happy flower | |
Happy flower, happy flower | |
Happy flower |
You and me | |
We sweat, we slave | |
We gamble recklessly | |
As if a dagger in the dark | |
Me and you | |
We misbehave | |
We trample fecklessly | |
Upon the bladder of our hearts | |
But it' s a happy flower in the mornin' sun | |
And it' ll keep perfumin' when the mornin' s done | |
This ain' t no tacky flower in a masquerade | |
And it' ll keep on bloomin' ' til it steals the shade | |
Of the garden ' neath our window pane | |
You and me | |
We leave, we lie | |
We' re runnin' through the ramble | |
Off the road of sad goodbyes | |
Me and you | |
We tease, we try | |
We' re cuttin' off the ample charms | |
Put forward from the skies | |
But it' s a happy flower in the mornin' sun | |
And it' ll keep on glowin' when the mornin' s done | |
And though our happy flower doesn' t make a sound | |
Well, it' ll keep growin' ' til it fills the ground | |
Of the garden ' neath our window pane | |
Happy flower, happy flower | |
Happy flower, happy flower | |
Happy flower, happy flower | |
Happy flower, happy flower | |
Happy flower |
