Slow Buildings Happy I Am lyrics

Happy I am when I see you my friend
Magical stars and knives cut through bars
Promise me now or promise me then
I will always find this old friend
When you come back to town
Please come round

You're my teacher, you're the preacher to my soul
Fill this cup up with a dollop of rock and roll

Tucked in snug in bed at night
When it's done you do it right

Think about the friends and lovers I've left behind
Maybe now they're dads or mothers, my God, well,
I'd love to see them one more time

Happy I am when I see you again
You're always away on a well-deserved holiday
Happy I am and I do and I can
With the marmalade jam on the moon
I'll be landing real soon and here to stay


You can reach her
You're the creature who tripped in cool
Fill your cup up with a dollop of her gruel

Never have, but then I might
I'll track you down when you're out of sight

Think about the trouble that comes from a little white lie
I put it in a letter, I could've said it better
But I never meant it as goodbye

Happy I am though you broke up your band
Into various solo projects, well, who cares
Happy the man at the end of his day
Who can stand up and say he'd a plan
Which he saw to its end
I hope I can

Sitting up in bed at night
I hope my friend is still alright
