lyrics

happy birthday to you
(lyrics: p.d. hamilton, 2006)

standing on the courtroom step
will someone please give me a cigarette?
i gave them up for the kids and her
now i need to see something else get burned
and go up in smoke, then left flat by a soulless boot
... happy birthday to you.

standing in my least worst clothes
seeing her take the house tied up in bows
happy never after for this black-hearted baddie
here comes prince charming, my girls' new daddy
handsome and dashing, driving to their rescue
... happy birthday to you

happy birthday to you
every day's a happy birthday to you
enjoy the present, return the past
happy birthday... i hope it's your last.

in his car on the forecourt
i can see you shuddering
but you got what you wanted
i've lost all i had
surely it's me who should be blubbering
and suffering?
come on, admit it
that you loved me once
when we were daft
and we laughed
before we turned into cunts.
the realisation's smacked me in the head;
the girl i would have died for - has left me for dead.

i've got to pay you to clothe and feed
children you won't let me see
it sticks in my throat to mention
you're taking half my pension
i gave you my youth - now you've taken my future too
... happy birthday to you

happy birthday to you
every day's a happy birthday to you
enjoy the present, return the past
happy birthday... i hope it's your last
