Pet Shop Boys - Happy People

Happy people
Living in a sad world
Happy people
Living in a sad world

Everyone comes from somewhere
I leave and you arrive
I watch you on the staircase
Taking two steps at a time
I wonder if you need me
I think I'm gonna cry
The outside world demands me
And I have to say goodbye

Happy people
Living in a sad world
Happy people
Living in a sad world

All the pomp and circumstance
Can't drag me away from this
A simple suburban love affair
Where you fight and then you kiss (do you call me a fool)
The feeling of epic grandeur
At the end of a summers day
The sense of so much missing
When the world gets in the way

Happy people
Living in a sad world
Happy people
Living in a sad world

People
Happy people
People
Happy people

No-one comes from nowhere
I leave and you arrive
It's the rhythm of our history
It's the beat behind our lives (do you call me a fool)
Our blues would be in B flat
Pain defining wisdom
But the soul is in the hi-hat
Programmed in the system

Happy people
Living in a sad world
Happy people
Living in a sad world (happy people)

Happy people
Living in a sad world (happy people)
Happy people
Living in a sad world (happy people)

Living in a sad world (happy people)
Living in a sad world
