Anne Reburn - Happy Birthday

It’s your birthday, come to the kitchen
We’re gonna sing now, so sit and listen
Oh wait, you’re changing faces
I hope we get the nice version tonight
Tired of the mean one and I don’t want to fight

Everyone who’s patient enough to put up with you
Is gathered around to sing and eat cake
I got you a hat, but where will you wear it?
Difficult to choose when you’re more than two-faced

I gave you space and time and I hoped you’d make up your mind
You took my time and you threw me away
I gave you space and time and you gave me nothing
Happy fucking Birthday

It’s your birthday, you’ll get your way now
When you’re the king though, that’s every day now
Our glorious leader
Among your subjects universally known
And I’m here with them but I feel so alone

Everyone you haven’t managed to drive away
Is out spreading lies in your name
You’ve talked down about everyone here with me
And I’m sure with them you’ve done the same

I gave you space and time and I hoped you’d make up your mind
You took my time and you threw me away
I gave you space and time and you gave me nothing
Happy fucking Birthday

And we all kinda hate each other
And we all only want to win you over
Oh, but now I see
You played party games with me
You blew out the candles and I made a wish that this time next year I’d be far away from here

Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday dear...

I gave you space and time and I hoped you’d make up your mind
You took my time and you threw me away
I gave you space and time and you gave me nothing
I learned my lesson
Happy fucking Birthday
