Are You Happy Now?

Under lock and key
You sit there willing tears to fall
I climbed the tower
You wiped my footprints from the wall
After all these years you'd think that
something might have changed
But you're still wrapped in cotton wool
and the dragons roar beneath you unslain
Watch the pieces fall into place
Now you have
time to practise your poker face
When somebody's pulling your strings
You're not real
So tell me can you still feel a sting
Or are you happy now?
Hopeful perseverance can't push together
what's forced apart
Toxic sterile atmosphere
causing friction 'tween head and heart
Now I can see you never
cared for me at all
Keeping up appearances
a new miserable experience
Watch the pieces fall into place
Now you have
time to practise your poker face
When somebody's pulling your strings
You're not real
So tell me can you feel anything?
The choice was mine, you made it
Think of the time you wasted
Now and then I think of what might have been
I gotta tell you it makes me shiver
I've moved onto bigger and better things
and burned the clippings from the paper
You invite me back in your routine
to carry on as if nothing happened
As fickle as a fortune telling fish
but sorry honey you're no cracker
Watch the pieces fall into place
Now you have time to practise your poker face
When somebody's pulling your strings
You're not real
So tell me can you feel anything?
Watch the pieces fall into place
Now you have time to practise your poker face
When somebody's pulling your strings
You're not real
So tell me can you still feel a sting
Or are you happy now?
Are you happy now?
Are you happy now?
Are you happy now?
Because I'm happy now

As the nights draw in and the frosts begin
We find ourselves on the cusp of winter
Lighting candles to save electricity
No central heating, put on a jumper
Desecrate the halls with festive tat
The gaudy colours would make you nauseous
Going through the motions
for no-one to see but you and your cat
John is saying 'Yippee-ki-yay'
Buddy's off to New York City
You spent your holidays in front of the screen
Tell me are you longing for Spring
Or are you happy now?
You could spend some time with your family
But you locked and bolted the door
Ebenezer was better company
And socialising's become such a chore
Keeping with tradition you're slobbing out
Scoffing chocolates and bingeing boxsets
Walking barefoot on pinetree needles
Beneath the nails as real as it gets
John is saying 'Yippee-ki-yay'
Buddy's off to New York City
You spent your holidays in front of the screen
Tell me are you longing for Spring
Outside the snow is drifting
Indoors your arse ain't shifting
Wrapping up a present to yourself
Your christmas card list is getting shorter
Like an elf just sitting on a shelf
Hoping someday to find another
You dowse the fire and embrace the cold
Cause no-one's climbing down your chimney
Dust the cobwebs from the mistletoe
Then box it up till next year
John is saying 'Yippee-ki-yay'
Buddy's off to New York City
You spent your holidays in front of the screen
Tell me are you longing for Spring
John is saying 'Yippee-ki-yay'
Buddy's off to New York City
You spent your holidays in front of the screen
Tell me are you longing for Spring
Or are you happy now?
Are you happy now?
Are you happy now?
Are you happy now?
