The Shamen - Happy Days [LP Version] Lyrics




The face of the nation was split
With a smile today
As we were politely informed
Of the fun and games
Oh yeah, there's a ship on our sea
Shall we send it down?
It's only a toy in the tub
Shall we sink it now?

Light up the home fires
Run up the flags
Happy days are again
Just like the old days
Riches to rags
Happy people don't complain

Ask your leaders
For their reasons
Why is blue the colour of the season
Ask your father
Ask your mother
Better still
Don't breathe a word at all
Ask your leaders for their reasons
Why is blue the colour of the season
Ask your father
Ask your mother
Better still
Don't breathe a word at all


The voice of a nation
Has spelt it out for you
It's there on the page and the screen
So it must be true
It's perfectly simple
It's perfectly understood
Three cheers for the church and the state
And the boys in blue

Light up the home fires
Run up the flags
Happy days are again
Just like the old days
Riches to rags
Happy people don't complain
Light up the home fires
Run up the flags
Happy days are again
Just like the old days
Riches to rags
Happy people don't complain

Ask your leaders for their reasons
Why is blue the colour of the season
Ask your father
Ask your mother
Better still
Don't breathe a word at all
Ask your leaders for their reasons
Why is blue the colour of the season
Ask your father
Ask your mother
Better still
Don't breathe a word at all
Ask your leaders for their reasons
Why is blue the colour of the season
Now, ask your father
Ask your mother
Better still
Don't breathe a word at all
