|
All those oh! so trendy in their flapper and flair |
|
Delinquent derelict, four walls and a square |
|
Never should you worry about society |
|
The best things in this life are never free |
|
Treat this whole world to a cavalry rout |
|
And when you've had enough of go, go, go and get out |
|
CHORUS |
|
Is everybody happy? Well are you happy? |
|
Get a live-in lover, never leave her alone |
|
The lifestyle is impressive, and you've moved up a tone |
|
Circulate in circles, leave the centre at home |
|
And happy is this hero, never needing a throne |
|
CHORUS |
|
We're having a party-and everyone's welcome- |
|
And if you've got no friends-I'm sure we'll invent some |
|
It's things and then it's places |
|
Not people and their faces |
|
It's things and then it's places |
|
Not people and their faces. And are you happy? |
|
Don't go near the water till you learn how to swim |
|
The parodies and prophecies, cataclysm |
|
Probably a proverb, like blood from a stone |
|
and happy is this hero, never needing a throne |
|
CHORUS |
|
It's things and then it's places |
|
Not people and their faces |
