Everybody's Happy Nowadays - Buzzcocks

Who's that stomping all over my face Where's that silhouette I'm trying to trace Who's putting sponge in the bells I once rung And taking my gypsy before she's begun To singing in the meaning of what's in my mind Before I can take home what's rightfully mine Joinin' and listenin' and talkin' in rhymes Stoppin' the feeling to wait for the times Who's saying baby, that don't mean a thing 'Cause nowadays Clancy can't even sing And who's all hung-up on that happiness thing Who's trying to tune all the bells that he rings And who's in the corner and down on the floor With pencil and paper just counting the score Who's trying to act like he's just in between The line isn't black, if you know that it's green Don't bother looking, you're too blind to see Who's coming on like he wanted to be Who's saying baby, that don't mean a thing 'Cause nowadays Clancy can't even sing And who's coming home on the old nine-to-five Who's got the feeling that he came alive Though havin' it, sharin' it ain't quite the same Painted gold nugget, you can't lay a claim Who's seeing eyes through the crack in the floor There it is baby, don't you worry no more Who should be sleepin', but is writing this song Wishin' and a-hopin' he weren't so damned wrong Who's saying baby, that don't mean a thing 'Cause nowadays Clancy can't even sing Who's saying baby, that don't mean a thing 'Cause nowadays Clancy can't even sing

Ah loving you is easy you are on my side We play the game strictly to our rules We led the field a love affair Which made all other lovers fools Oh How can you ever let me down How can you ever let me down How can you ever let me down These promises are made for us We promised that we'd always have time for each other Whenever I needed you'd be there We promised to be true there'd be no other We promised that for ever we would care Oh How can you ever let me down How can you ever let me down How can you ever let me down These promises are made for us We had to change But you stayed the same You wouldn't change Oh what a shame Cos loving you's not easy you're not on my side We play a game with two sets of rules We lead the field in a love affair Ah strictly meant for fools Oh Why did you ever let me down Why did you ever let me down Why did you ever let me down Those promises were made for us You never have any time for me Whenever I need you you're not there You've never been true and it's plain to see The fact is you never really cared Oh Why did you ever let me down Why did you ever let me down Why did you ever let me down Those promises were made for us
