I Just Can’t Be Happy Today Lyrics

9 ContributorsI Just Can’t Be Happy Today LyricsI Just Can't Be Happy Today
I Just Can't Be Happy Today
A lot of you know
It’s not all a smile
Thers no feeling fine
Without being fined
There's a price on your head
No point being sad when justice is red
I Just Can't Be Happy Today
I Just Can't Be Happy Today
They're closing the schools
They're burning the books
The church is in ruins
The priests hang on hooks
The radio's on ice
The telly's been banned
The army's in power
The devil commands
Illegal to dance
Forbidden to cry
You do what you're told
You never ask why
Ignore all those fools
They don't understand
We make our own rules
I Just Can't Be Happy Today
I Just Can't Be Happy Today
I Just Can't Be Happy
Just Can't Be Happy
Just Can't Be Happy Today
I Just Can't Be Happy
Just Can't Be Happy
Just Can't Be Happy Today

Melody Lee Lyrics

6 ContributorsMelody Lee LyricsMelody Lee, a broken mind and a broken dream
A burst of speed, a change of heart
Your life was cruel they called it art
Melody Lee, you need a mirror to set you free
You know you can't cheat tomorrow
If you hide it'll end in sorrow
Melody Lee, you gotta find your secret enemy
You're on the run with nowhere to go
If you die there's no-one to know
Forget your heart, you need not stay
A second longer than today
Melody Lee, a broken mind and a broken dream
A burst of speed, a change of heart
Your life was cruel they called it art

Anti‐Pope Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm going back to church tonight
Just like back when I was eight
But I don't mean to pray
I'm going to nick a collection plate
[Chorus]
I've got nothing against church
Or any people who go there
And show their plain ignorance
And don't understand
A congregation at weekends won't change their behaviour
So many people are weak
And have to seek answers from pedlars of hope
I should know, I used to go there myself
That's until the day I became anti-pope
[Verse 2]
It's gonna be fun tonight
Spreading news around the town
That the vicars are transvestites
With a fetish for robes and gowns
[Chorus]
I've got nothing against church
Or any people who go there
And show their plain ignorance
And don't understand
A congregation at weekends won't change their behaviour
So many people are weak
And have to seek answers from pedlars of hope
I should know, I used to go there myself
That's until the day I became anti-pope
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Religion doesn't mean a thing
It's just another way of being right wing
I think sex films are okay
I don't dig that pope, no way
[Chorus]
I've got nothing against church
Or any people who go there
And show their plain ignorance
And don't understand
A congregation at weekends won't change their behaviour
So many people are weak
And have to seek answers from pedlars of hope
I should know, I used to go there myself
That's until the day I became anti-pope

These Hands Lyrics

5 ContributorsThese Hands LyricsThese are the hands of a demented circus clown
Outside I'm laughing but inside I'm really wearing a frown
I see you laughing at me
But baby in my dreams
It's quite a different scene
Chasing you through the night with my hands around your neck
Funny how everything seems in technicolour, yet
I find I'm laughing at you
And you are turning blue
Ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha ha
Ho ho ho
