Aubrey Straw - Alan Beynon Said Lyrics

Alan Beynon said
If you're happy and you know it
Put your hands on your ears
Hear what you want to hear
You will never have to fear
Rejection again
Everybody else can
There's no obligation to
Say where you're going to
Know where you're coming from
You will come out in the front
And know where you are
You'll know where you are
You can waste
A lifetime in haste
Waiting for what's been promised
To show its face
Then it's much too late
You should wake up and take up
Sleeping out of the house
That makes you fall out of line
It's the part of me that will never change
It's so hard to explain
But you get used to the coins in your boots
And when everyone stares
You don't even care
If you're happy and you know it
Put your hands on your ears
Hear what you want to hear
You will never have to fear
Rejection again
Everybody else can
If you're happy and you know it
You don't really have to show it
God already knows it
I'll never be a poet
But I'll sing to myself
Listen to myself
Happiness was something I missed
With my head swimming 'round
Someone else's dream
And not my ravine
Just to wake up with nature is greater
You go where you like
Just get on your bike
Hey diddle-dee-dee
It's a hobo's life for me
The food's as free as me
And the birds
We have learned
Not to hear
You don't wipe away tears
With your hands on your ears
If you're happy and you know it
Put your hands on your ears
Hear what you want to hear
You will never have to fear
Rejection again
Everybody else can
If you're happy and you know it
Hear what you want to hear
If you're happy and you know it
Hear what you want to hear
If you're happy and you know it
Hear what you want to hear
Thank you Alan
