Nellie Mckay Happy Flower
You and me
We sweat, we slave
We gamble recklessly
As if a dagger in the dark
Me and you
We misbehave
We trample fecklessly
Upon the bladder of our hearts
But it?s a happy flower in the mornin' sun
And it?ll keep perfumin' when the mornin's done
This ain?t no tacky flower in a masquerade
And it?ll keep on bloomin' 'til it steals the shade
Of the garden 'neath our window pane
You and me
We leave, we lie
We're runnin' through the ramble
Off the road of sad goodbyes
Me and you
We tease, we try
We're cuttin' off the ample charms
Put forward from the skies
But it?s a happy flower in the mornin' sun
And it?ll keep on glowin' when the mornin's done
And though our happy flower doesn't make a sound
Well, it?ll keep growin' 'til it fills the ground
Of the garden 'neath our window pane
Happy flower, happy flower
Happy flower, happy flower
Happy flower, happy flower
Happy flower, happy flower
Happy flower
