Cathy Davey - Happy Slapping lyrics

When you're alone Do you worry about me When I'm alone All I do is worry, worry worry worry Worry 'bout a heart attack Wondering who's got your back If you had a healthy lunch If somebody spiked your punch Do the boys take care of you Or do they leave you home to brew Yeah Doin' fine without you When you're alone Do you sit and weep Or do you keep the fire lit With photographs of you and me Is the heaviness letting up Or do you feel like giving up And if you gave up what exactly What exactly would it mean Overflowing septic tanks And avoiding all the bins Till somebody says "I knew the girl She kept a tidy flat But now the garden's full of rats I know she used to sing But now she talks to buildings She's doing swell without you" When you go out Do you dread coming home To an empty house and stale bread And nobody to warm your bed Does it make you scared to die Cause that's what keeps me up at night Lying stiff for several days With nobody there to say "Wake up honey or are you dead" And that keeps running through my head Doing sweet without you When you wake up Do you get a fright When suddenly you remember You no longer have a life Cause it scares the sh** right out of me An avalanche of memories Come raging like a b**h on heat So I don't stay in bed soon as I wake I flee the room say "life is great" Stick on the radio and laugh And when the prime time jokes Pretend that they relate to me As if I'm not detached or lonely Or is that how we all feel And eating crap is how we deal With life and all its splendid trappings Robbery and happy slapping Yeah Doing sweet without you Doing swell without you
