Happy in this town (B.Pearce)

When do you ever cry?
There's no sadness on your face
No, there ain't
And I will tell you why
Crying is only disgrace
 
Got no room for the lonely
Got no room for a thought
Got room for a Duvel
It's something I was taught
(repeat)
 
Stop communicating by putting on airs
and pretence
Talking can be fun
but through the CD noise
no need for making sense
 
'Cause we're happy, happy, happy
Happy in this town
Happy, happy, happy
Never feeling down
Got no room for sorrow
We know it's not real
We're happy today and tomorrow
No matter how we feel
 
See my outer shell
and see my smile
It's all you should know
You must smile as well
or else
my friend
I think I have to go
 
Got no room for the lonely
Got no room for a thought
Got room for a Duvel
It's something I've was taught
 
In a bar of no one
So there's no one there to moan
I'm sitting 'til the day is done
Smiling all alone
 
Loving me is something shared
My love for myself is strong and true
But somehow I have never cared
too much
for loving you
 
Cause we're happy, happy, happy
Happy in this town
We're so fucking happy
Never feeling down
Happy, happy, happy
Happy in this town
Happy, happy, happy
Never a frown
