Happy Most of the Time Songtext

von Brendan Benson

Lately I've been thinking
That this world keeps on shrinking
And it just keeps getting smaller every day

And last time I checked
I was about the size of an insect
And with just about as much to say

One look into those pretty green eyes, dear
Tells me, I'm hooked
And it comes as no surprise, dear
Oh, no
I know, I've been walking around here
Like a zombie
But I'd say, I'm happy most of the time, dear
Most of the time, dear

So why am I so teary eyed?
Never less than mystified.
So impressed with everything you do

You could hoot and holler
You can wear a starched white collar
But there's just no way of gettin' over you

Cuz one look into those pretty green eyes, dear,
Tells me, I'm hooked
It's really no surprise, dear
Oh, no!
I know, I've been walking around here
Like a zombie
But I'd say, I'm happy most of the time, dear
Most of the time, dear

I can just remember the 14th of November
The year of the dog and rightly so

Choking on the atmosphere
Screamin' get me out of here
There's too much goin' on and I just don't know

But I think I've seen the worst of it
I'd say I'm quite well versed in it
So I think I'll lay 'em down and call your bluff

The taste of blood upon my lips
The heavenly sway of your teenage hips
Nothing in this world comes close enough

One look into those pretty green eyes, dear
Tells me, I'm hooked
I don't look surprised, dear
Oh, yeah!
It came out of the clear blue sky, dear
And it struck me
I'd say, I'm happy most of the time, dear
Most of the time, dear
