"Happy Families" lyrics

"Happy Families"

Life can be unkind, I've seen it in your eyes
I've loved you all my life, and loving you is fine

But I won't let you go straight
No I won't let you go

Cos we're just one big happy family
And we're not touched by the hands of tragedy

And I'm so, so cold in here
And I'm so, so alone in here
And just a little vague

For and on behalf of the people gathered here
You know I've waited years, for this moment to pass
One of these days, I'll have to get a life
You know I don't do things right
And I'm so bored in here
For you I'll give, everything
Everything that I have
The night is on, the DJ's gone
There's only us, the friendly ones
So take the bait, I just can't wait
I just can't wait at all
