Shiny Happy Simple Times
Shiny happy people holding hands
To reach this state of mind here's your demands
You need your freedom and you need your drugs
You need cool beer and your nicotine lugs
You need to be loved and you need good sex
and you need good tunes on your record decks
Shiny happy people taking drugs
Snorting, drinking, inhaling deep, deep buzz
Be it your alcohol or nicotine
Be it your cocaine or your caffeine
These are the things that keep you sane
Don't deny it pamper your brain
Shiny happy people taking drugs
Snorting, drinking, inhaling deep, deep buzz
You need your dose and you need your high
You need to be flat out or up like the sky
I just like to write these simple lines
My name is Jim Bob I'm revelling in simple times
Shiny happy people holding hands
To reach this state of mind here's your demands
All the interesting things you could write about
Transvision Vamp wouldn't fill a postage stamp
I don't care more than Wendy does
'cause I've got a brain and I've got my buzz
Shiny happy people your desire tugs
When your source runs dry you crawl like slugs
(bugle mouth piece solo)
Get your protein and your vitamins
Get your dreamers or amphetamines
These are the things that keep you sane
Don't deny it pamper your brain
Tug, tug
Tug, tug
Shiny happy people your desire tugs
Shiny happy people your desire tugs
Shiny happy people your desire tugs
Shiny happy people your desire tugs
