lyrics

Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday to you.
You’re on your own, you check your phone, and the clock says 12:02.
I wish you a merry birthday. A warm custard and cherry birthday.
Happy birthday to you. What friends you’d have around your flat
if you hadn’t systematically alienated each and every single one.

Can you remember how sweet and pure she was
before you dictated every aspect of her life.
Well now she’s someone else’s wife
so happy birthday to you.

Can’t it be the worst day, your birthday,
just a marker of a lap around the sun.
You were here before when you were four,
when they handed out fairy bread to everyone.

And so you wonder just how it could be possible
that your life has come to a head
while you’re a grown man craving fairy bread.
So happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday to you.
