lyrics

Franco make me laugh
Cos the kids are all asleep
And the drugs begin to sing beneath my skin.
And happiness takes hold like a sickness in the soul.
It is Summer, it is high time we were gone.

So put the children into care.
Booby-trap the bedsit as you leave.
Throw the dog into the Grand Canal.
Scrawl your last words on some toilet door.
And as you go you will be borne aloft
By ducks and flying dogs,
And all the raggy dolls and amputees
Will sing about their loss.

I woke up in a shoe today.
I woke up with sticky hands and swollen glands and a blue dick
And all the peelers banging on about
The stain, the stain, the awful stain,
The stain upon my soul.
And now I’m close enough to hell to feel
The flames beneath the floor.
Tell yourself another lie.
Get drunk! What a guy!

So Franco make me laugh
Cos the kids are all asleep
And the drugs begin to sing beneath my skin.
And happiness takes hold like a sickness in the soul.
It is Summer, it is high time we were gone.

I wish I was a great big kiss.
I wish I was a brand new pair of pants.
I was I was a fresh tattoo.
I wish I was the smell of cheap perfume.
But of all the rain that ever fell down upon my bones
This time is burrowed in beneath my skin
And watered down my soul.
Happy as a pig in shit.
Happy as a pig in shit.

And Franco make me laugh
Cos the kids are all asleep
And the drugs begin to sing beneath my skin.
And happiness takes hold like a sickness in the soul.
It is Summer, it is high time we were gone.

You’re happy when the lights go out.
Happy when the hand has lost control.
And you’re happy in the wreckage after all.
Oh Happy Day.
