There's a reason I picked this song on this day...
So, it's my birthday today. Happy Birthday to me!
I've always liked this song and so, today, I figured I'd share the lyrics here. The song is by Concrete Blonde and named Happy Birthday. All rights and credit to them (specifically, Johnette Naplitano and Jim Mankey) and all. It's a short song originally off their album titled Free and but it's also on Recollection: The Best of Concrete Blonde. You can find it on iTunes and several other online music services, I'm sure. Check it out. You may like it. And if you do, check out their other music. We'll call it my birthday present to all of you, my dear readers.
Outside in the hall there's a catfight
It's just after midnight
I guess I'll be all right
I'm laying out on the floor
Drunk and poor
How much longer how much more
Rock me to sleep
Strong and deep.
The screaming cats they give me the creeps
But aside from all that I feel no pain
Staring up at the ceiling stain
...neon in the window
...sirens far away
...news on the radio happy birthday happy birthday happy birthday
They're at it again next door
This whole floor I swear
They're out to drive me crazy
But not right now I'm high as a cloud I'm soft and gray and lazy
...smoking out the window
...feeling far away
...news on the radio happy birthday happy birthday happy birthday
Fly me
Out the window.
Somewhere far away
News on the radio happy birthday happy birthday happy birthday
Happy birthday happy birthday happy birthday
