The Shamen - Happy Days lyrics

The face of a nation was split with a smile today As we were politely informed of the fun and games Oh yeah, there's a ship on our sea, shall we send it down? It's only a toy in the tub, shall we sink it now? Light up the home fires, run up the flags Happy days are here again Just like the old days, riches to rags Happy people don't complain Now, ask your leaders for their reasons, Why is blue the colour of the season? Ask your father, ask your mother Better still don't breathe a word at all. Now, ask your leaders for their reasons, Why is blue the colour of the season? Ask your father, ask your mother Better still don't breathe a word at all. The voice of a nation has spelt it all out for you It's there on the page and the screen, so it must be true It's perfectly simple, it's perfectly understood Three cheers for the church and the state, and the boys in blue Light up the home fires, run up the flags Happy days are here again Just like the old days, riches to rags Happy people don't complain Light up the home fires, run up the flags Happy days are here again Just like the old days, riches to rags Happy people don't complain Now, ask your leaders for their reasons, Why is blue the colour of the season? Ask your father, ask your mother Better still don't breathe a word at all Now, ask your leaders for their reasons, Why is blue the colour of the season? Ask your father, ask your mother Better still don't breathe a word at all Now, ask your leaders for their reasons, Why is blue the colour of the season? Ask your father, ask your mother Better still don't breathe a word at all At all
