Happy to Be Here - The Hotknives

When someone told me that you’re better off dead

Thanks for the 'heads up'.

but it’s all in your head

You have to keep on working keep the body alive

You need the weekend, to let the soul survive

They try all they can just to bring you down

And they say to give up in this one horse town

Who are we to give in, there’s no doubts allowed, who are we, who are we

So raise your hands give a good cheer

Like me you’re happy to be here

So raise your hands give a good cheer

Like me you’re happy to be here

When someone told me that the harder they fall

It turned a switch on, put a light on the wall

The sound of broken bottles under boots on the floor

It made me step back, it made me crave for more

The message that comes from the old school ones

Is to be someone, not be a someone

And we’re making the most of our kindly host

Who are we, who are we

So raise your hands give a good cheer

Like me you’re happy to be here

So raise your hands give a good cheer

Like me you’re happy to be here

We have to queue up to get ink on our hand

And to explain it, they wouldn’t understand

Your ears are loosing treble and your eyes oh they stream

Is it a nightmare, it’s a euphoric dream

To get what we want, when we say what we want

Needs a good clear choice, but a clearer voice

When we say what we want, do we mean somewhere?

Such as here, such as here

So raise your hands give a good cheer

Like me you’re happy to be here

So raise your hands give a good cheer

Like me you’re happy to be here
