Happy House Lyrics

Ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh
This is the happy house
We're happy here in the happy house
Oh, it's such fun, fun, fun, oh
We've come to play in the happy house
And waste a day in the happy house
It never rains, never rains
We've come to scream in the happy house
We're in a dream in the happy house
We're all quite sane -ane -ane, oh
This is the happy house, we're happy here
There's room for you if you say “I do”
But don't say no, or you'll have to go
We've done no wrong with our blinkers on
It's safe and calm if you sing along
Sing along, sing along, oh-oh
This is the happy house
We're happy here in the happy house
To forget ourselves and pretend all's well
There is no hell, oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
I'm looking through your window, ooh-ooh
I'm looking through your window, hmm-hmm
Tenant Lyrics
[Intro]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
[Verse 1]
Squatting on doorsteps
Following footsteps
Nocturnal habits are surveyed with interest
So we crawl into corners
Ignore any callers
And imagine our radiators clang for our neighbours
[Interlude]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
[Verse 2]
When we crawl on all fours
Upon the cushioned floor
Still they cling to the walls and knock on our doors
[Refrain]
And the tendency for tenants is tenacity
[Interlude]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
[Verse 3]
The paint is cracked
And the paper peels
The plaster falls
And a body reels softly
[Verse 4]
Forty-watt bulb swing from a light cloud
On lawnmower groan, the carpet has grown
But they have eyes at the keyholes and ears at the walls
Yes, they have eyes at the keyholes and ears at the walls
[Refrain]
And the tendency for tenants is secrecy
[Outro]
Shh, shh
Ooh-ooh
Shh, shh
Ooh-ooh
Christine Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She tries not to shatter, kaleidoscope style
Personality changes behind her red smile
Every new problem brings a stranger inside
Helplessly forcing one more new disguise
[Chorus]
Christine, the strawberry girl
Christine, banana split lady
Christine, the strawberry girl
Christine, banana split lady
[Verse 2]
Singing sweet savages lost in our world
This big-eyed girl sees her faces unfurl
Now she's in purple, now she's a turtle
Disintegrating
[Chorus]
Christine, the strawberry girl
Christine, banana split lady
Christine, the strawberry girl
Christine sees her faces unfurl
[Bridge]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Now she's in purple, now she's a turtle
Disintegrating
Christine, Christine
[Chorus]
Christine, the strawberry girl
Christine, banana split lady
Christine, the strawberry girl
Christine sees her faces unfurl
[Outro]
Christine, Christine
Christine, Christine
Twenty-two faces
Disintegrating
Christine, Christine
Disintegrating
Red Light Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She falls into frame with a professional pout
But the Polaroids ignite upon seeing their subject
And the aperture shuts
Too much exposure
[Verse 2]
Voyeur sucks into focus, floodlit the glossy kiss-pit
But as emulsion drips down, down
The aperture shuts
Too much exposure
[Chorus]
Come into this room
Come into this gloom
See the red light rinsing
Another shutterslut wincing
[Verse 3]
The sagging, half-wit sister
Pretty, pretty picture
Of an ancient nipple shrinking
That Kodak whore winking
'Til the aperture shuts
Too much exposure
[Chorus]
Come into this room
Come into this gloom
See the red light rinsing
Another shutterslut wincing
[Outro]
See the red light rinsing
When you see the red light wincing
Wincing, wincing
Skin Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mink, seal and ermine
Smother fat women
I have a noble cause for skin
There's just too many of them
The only necessary cull
Curse the brain inside its skull
Just a bitch in the manger to the balances of nature
[Chorus]
Cover me with skin
And accuse me of sin
But you know what I mean
There's just too many of them
Give me your skin
For dancing in
Give me your skin
For dancing in
[Verse 2]
Hairless and streamline
Fits like my own skin
Tattooed and sun-dyed
It's warm, and it's human
There was too many of them
The animals like them
Shame about the smell, but
They're fine, steeped in perfume
[Chorus]
Cover me with skin
And accuse me of sin
Oh, but you know what I mean
There's just too many of them
Give me your skin
For dancing in
Oh, give me your skin
For dancing in
[Bridge]
Skin, skin, skin, skin
Skin, skin, skin, skin
[Chorus]
Cover me with skin
And accuse me of sin
Oh, but you know what I mean
There's just too many of them
Give me your skin
For dancing in
Oh, give me your skin
For dancing in
