13. HAPPY FACE
A track about trying to keep up appearances in the face of adversity
when work, sleep and worry are wearing your resistance down…
PJ Higgins on voice, Winston Blisset on bass

lyrics

HAPPY FACE

Written : PJ HIGGINS / DUBULAH:
VERSE 1
 
I CANNOT HIDE THE PAIN BEHIND THESE EYES
IT IS SO CUMBERSOME, A BURDEN DEEP INSIDE
I’M FEELING THE STRAIN, YOU CAN’T PULL ME UP OH NO
WHERE IS MY HAPPY FACE, YOU SAY
SINCE I’M FEELING LOW – IT’S LONG GONE
 
CHORUS
 
I GOT MY HEAD SPINNING (SPINNING, SPINNING)
STRUGGLING A FAKE SMILE (SMILE, SMILE)
RIGHT NOW I’M NOT WINNING (WINNING, WINNING)
I KNOW IT’S GONNA TAKE A WHILE (WHILE, A WHILE)
 
VERSE 2
 
SO DISPLACED
SAID I CAN’T, I CAN’T FIND MY RHYTHM
WASH THESE BITTER BLUES AWAY, GIVE ME A REASON
I CAN’T PRETEND, OH NO, HERE’S MY EXPRESSION
I WEAR MY HEART ON MY SLEEVE FOR PUBLIC DOMINION
 
CHORUS
 
I GOT MY HEAD SPINNING (SPINNING, SPINNING)
STRUGGLING A FAKE SMILE (SMILE, SMILE)
RIGHT NOW I’M NOT WINNING (WINNING, WINNING)
I KNOW IT’S GONNA TAKE A WHILE E(WHILE, A WHILE)
