Lyrics

I’ve seen the movie,(I’ve) read the book
So I might know where to look
For an answer or a sign
That everything will turn out fine
I’ve travelled far I`ve travelled wide
I’ve been taken for a ride
Went undercover for a while
Faking service with a smile

Chorus:
Happiness… on demand
Happiness… wouldn`t that be grand

I’ve tried some ways and then some more
I’ve been through that revolving door
I’ve searched and found and done a course
Curb Your Worries calm The Source
I began to see the sunny side
And told my doubts to run and hide
Told that couple Doom and Gloom
They’re not welcome in my room

Chorus:
Happiness …on demand
Happiness …Wouldn’t that be grand

 

Jan Leentjes, February 2020

In the land of lost illusions, following a fading trail
I saw the remnants of a signpost
With the words “To no avail”
Down the road of good intentions
I`ve tried to keep an open mind
But I`ve built a wall around me
Of stones I thought I`d left behind

CHORUS
Sometimes I get lucky
Sometimes I fail a test
It isn`t always easy
But I-I`m doing my best

I always buy a lottery ticket cause I`d love to be a millionaire
There are winners there are losers but only winners think that`s fair
When everything is going faster, and I feel I can`t keep up the pace
It`s hard to look in the cruel mirror with a happy smiling face

Sometimes I get lucky
Sometimes I fail a test
It isn`t always easy
But I-I`m doing my best

Solo

Chorus x2

I`ve got a bit of trouble
But really not that muchLike the sound of crunching gears
When messing with the clutch
I`ve got some minor worries
There must be a reason why
I can`t see the silver linings
In an almost cloudless sky

I`m feeling a little lonely
Just the lightest shade of blue
And get a bit melancholic
When I`m thinking of you
I know I shouldn`t be moaning
Cos it isn`t all that bad
Nothing I can`t handle
I`m feeling just a little sad

I got the Bite-size blues….
