about

Tony Morley and I used to write songs in the upstairs room of his flat in Southwark all through the 80's. This was one of them. About the sweetness of one night stands - ships that kiss in the night.

lyrics

Happy


Don’t tell me your name
I don’t want a label to store you by
In that place in my brain
That haven of succubi
I don’t want you to write down your number
I don’t want to call you up
Make another blunder
I don’t want you to trip me up.

Not now when I’m riding high
Not now when I’m in the sky
Not now, I don’t want to lie
Not now, not now, not now
When I’m happy

Just give me your hand
I don’t want a relationship
This is uncharted land
This is our mystery trip
I’ll just use my, use my eyes
Photo engraven images
Before the light dies
I will absorb the vestiges

Of your beautiful face
Of your unspoken grace
Of the filigree trace
Of your presence
‘Cause I’m happy

Don’t tell me the time
All of those minutes are millstones
Just spin me your lines
All of your markers and milestones
Oh yes and don’t just say ‘goodbye’
That is always a lonely word
A word with tears in its eyes
The saddest sound I ever heard

Like a wave on a beach
Like a life out of reach
Like someone gasping for speech
Grab the moment
And be happy
