"Sweet Joy" lyrics
(originally by The Proclaimers & Michael Wojas)
Sweet Joy
Butterfly flaps its wings in Brazil
Tornadoes in Texas
Hold my hand, walking two by two
Noah forgot us
Protect us
If you were the only girl in the world and I was the only boy
The moon burnin' brighter than fire, stars falling from the sky
If you were the only girl in the world and I was the only boy
Walk down desperate avenues, sing a song, sing a song of sweet joy
Of sweet joy
I'm the only you could ever reach
You were the only one I ever told about hate
Why the gate is closed
Some people say the emperor's got no clothes
Ray Ban Aviators on the presidents eye's
Wife's melanoma is twice the of Virginia
If ya jumped in a river, got poisoned, they'd never forgive ya
If you were the only girl in the world and I was the only boy
The moon burning brighter than fire, stars falling from the sky
If you were the only girl in the world and I was the only boy
Walk down desperate avenues, sing a song, sing a song of sweet joy
Such a sweet joy
Such a sweet joy
...
Did the sisters' ever tell you the story about turning water into wine?
Did you ever get the feeling that what you're fighting for ain't worth a dime?
And did you ever start believing the text
You have been reading are Jean Baudrillard Simulacra
A testament to the power of oil
As the planet drowns in water and sulphur
If you were the only girl in the world and I was the only boy
The moon burning brighter than fire, stars falling from the sky
If you were the only girl in the world and I was the only boy
Walk down desperate avenues, sing a song, sing a song of sweet joy
If you were the only girl in the world
Such a sweet joy
...
And as we look across all we surveyed
We say 'Hey, looks like we gotta build another day
And one more on top of that'
It took the lord 7, but I'll woop that cat, and I'll do it in three
You and me, Larry and the rest of the kids and the army of love
We got a whole lot of shoveling to do
So let's get on through
Come on, babe
[?]
If you were the only girl in the world
Such a sweet joy
...
I am the only girl in the world
I am the only girl...
I am the only boy
Butterfly flaps its wings in Brazil
Tornadoes in Texas
Hold my hand, walking two by two
Noah forgot us
Protect us
If you were the only girl in the world and I was the only boy
The moon burnin' brighter than fire, stars falling from the sky
If you were the only girl in the world and I was the only boy
Walk down desperate avenues, sing a song, sing a song of sweet joy
Of sweet joy
I'm the only you could ever reach
You were the only one I ever told about hate
Why the gate is closed
Some people say the emperor's got no clothes
Ray Ban Aviators on the presidents eye's
Wife's melanoma is twice the of Virginia
If ya jumped in a river, got poisoned, they'd never forgive ya
If you were the only girl in the world and I was the only boy
The moon burning brighter than fire, stars falling from the sky
If you were the only girl in the world and I was the only boy
Walk down desperate avenues, sing a song, sing a song of sweet joy
Such a sweet joy
Such a sweet joy
...
Did the sisters' ever tell you the story about turning water into wine?
Did you ever get the feeling that what you're fighting for ain't worth a dime?
And did you ever start believing the text

If you were the only girl in the world and I was the only boy
The moon burning brighter than fire, stars falling from the sky
If you were the only girl in the world and I was the only boy
Walk down desperate avenues, sing a song, sing a song of sweet joy
If you were the only girl in the world
Such a sweet joy

I am the only girl in the world
I am the only girl...
I am the only boy
