[Verse]
Mummy versus daddy in the marital arena
But they still love you
'Cause you're their kid
And everything you ever did
Just made them proud, you told her
You told her when you seen her
On the high street with a stereo
Typical teen from head to toe
He talks too loud, it's not too
It's not too late to
Open up a porn mag with a different picture
Wait until she wants to get you
Never will in this life
And this life is now broken
And you would do anything for kicks 'cause
Death is nasty, life's a dick

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I'm glad I know
That this can only get much worse but

[Chorus]
You just wanna get happy
You just wanna get happy
You just wanna get happy
You just wanna get happy
You just wanna get happy
You just wanna get happy
You just wanna get happy
You just wanna get happy

[Verse]
Walk up that hill on your own
On your own like a pilot with no plane to fly
But you don't cry 'bout
Who or why the kid inside you
Buggered off, I wonder
I wonder who the guy that's standing
Here would be right now because love
Isn't what they said it was
So shrug it off and all they
And all they say is
"Baby this" and "Baby that"
But you don't mind, you've
Realised you don't have the time
To care for things that matter
That matter, you're unlucky like an
Old blind gynecologist who
Spends his evenings sad or pissed (he stares at things)

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I'm glad I know
That this can only get much worse but

[Chorus]
You just wanna get happy
You just wanna get happy
You just wanna get happy
You just wanna get happy
You just wanna get happy
You just wanna get happy
You just wanna get happy
You just wanna get happy

[Verse]
Forwarding your circumstances
Up and down the country
But they still love you 'cause
They have to and if they didn't, they leave you
For someone else and that's it
And that's it please don't touch me, drain it
Out of you and use it up and
Every door has now been shut
You're on the shelf so call me
So call me, tell me right now what I'm 'sposed to do
'Cause I don't know and you don't know so
Lets just go to
Russia now, you're looking
You're looking in a window at the top of town
It's fill of clothes will
Mr. Loud pay for your robes

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I'm glad I know
That this can only get much worse but

[Chorus]
You just wanna get happy
You just wanna get happy
You just wanna get happy
You just wanna get happy
You just wanna get happy
You just wanna get happy
You just wanna get happy
You just wanna get happy

[Chorus]
You just wanna get happy
You just wanna get happy
You just wanna get happy
You just wanna get happy
You just wanna get happy
You just wanna get happy
You just wanna get happy
You just wanna get happy

[Outro]
This can only
This can only
This can only get much worse

Cosmo Jarvis

Critic, journalist, sometime musician, onetime actor, and full-time Midwesterner Mark Deming provides a discographic-based biography for Cosmo Jarvis:

“Singer, songwriter, and filmmaker Cosmo Jarvis has earned a devoted following for his witty, often satiric tunes about the foibles of relationships and contemporary life, often rooted in personal experience, as well as his own self-produced videos and short subjects that have given his work a global online audience. Harrison Cosmo Krikoryan Jarvis was born on September 1, 1989 in Ridgewood, New Jersey. Jarvis' family relocated to the United Kingdom when he was young, and he grew up in Devon in Southwest England. Jarvis began writing songs when he was only 12 years old, around the same time he began making short films using a VHS video camera. While Jarvis' early videos were little more than documentation of pranks played with his friends, with time he began constructing more complex narratives, and similarly his songs began to evolve, ranging from folk-inspired acoustic guitar pieces and elaborate pop tunes to tongue-in-cheek hip-hop tracks.

At the age of 16, Jarvis quit school to focus on his creative work, and in 2009 he wrote and produced his debut album, an 18-song set called Humasyouhitch/Sonofabitch, which was released by the British indie label Wall of Sound. The album combined Jarvis' observational tunes with a cycle of songs reflecting the emotional turmoil of his parents' stormy relationship. Humasyouhitch/Sonofabitch received enthusiastic notices from the British music press, but it didn’t sell especially well, and Jarvis teamed with 25th Frame for his second release, Is the World Strange or Am I Strange? A track from the album, “Gay Pirates,” became an Internet sensation after Jarvis' low-budget video for the song was endorsed in a Twitter post by actor and author Stephen Fry, and subsequent airplay helped make the second album a commercial success. While continuing to tour, write songs, and record music, Jarvis has also been writing and directing a feature film, provisionally titled The Naughty Room. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi"
