Happiness is a 1998 American comedy-drama film written and directed by Todd Solondz, that portrays the lives of three sisters, their families and those around them. The film was awarded the FIPRESCI Prize at the 1998 Cannes Film Festival for "its bold tracking of controversial contemporary themes, richly-layered subtext, and remarkable fluidity of visual style," and the cast received the National Board of Review award for best ensemble performance.
Trish Maplewood (Cynthia Stevenson), the eldest sister, is an upper middle class housewife happily married to psychiatrist Bill Maplewood (Dylan Baker) and has three children. Unbeknownst to Trish, however, Bill is a pedophile. He develops an obsession with 11-year-old Johnny Grasso (Evan Silverberg), a classmate of his son, Billy (Rufus Read). When Johnny comes for a sleepover, Bill drugs Johnny and then sodomizes him while he is unconscious. Later, he learns that another boy, Ronald Farber, is home alone while his parents are away in Europe. Under the guise of attending a PTA meeting, Bill drives to the boy's house and rapes him. After Johnny is taken to the hospital and found to have been sexually abused, the police arrive at the Maplewood residence to question Bill. After alerting his wife to the police presence, Bill begins by asking the two detectives, "So, you wanted to talk about Ronald Farber?" The two detectives, looking puzzled, say nothing. Bill then stammers, "I mean, Johnny Grasso." Out on bail, he tearfully admits to Billy that he abused the boys, that he enjoyed it, and that he would do it again. When Billy asks, "Would you ever fuck me?", his father replies, "No. I jerk off instead."
Happiness happiness the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the Lord I've been blessed with more than my share of happiness
To me this old world is a wonderful place
And I'm just about the luckiest human in the whole human race
I've got no silver and I've got no gold just a whole lot of happiness in my soul
Happiness happiness...
Happiness to me is an ocean tide or a sunset fading on a mountain side
Or maybe a big old heaven full of stars up above
When I'm in the arms of the one I love
Happiness is a field of grain lifting its face to the falling rain
I can see it in the sunshine I breathe it in the rain happiness everywhere
Happiness happiness...
A wise old man told me one time that happiness is nothing but a frame of mind
I hope when you go to measuring my success
That you don't count my money count my happiness
Happiness happiness...
I was born with so much love I burst each time the sun rises
I reserved the hurt I feel to make happy suprises
In my heaven here on earth I found my paradise
All the laughter in my heart I credit to your smile
Happiness is seeing all the stars in your eyes
Happiness is knowing you are loved
I berode the fears I had and sorted them all out
Took a love offered me and pushed away the dark
In my heaven here on earth I found my paradise
What a satisfying feeling reaching for the skies
Happiness is seeing all the stars in your eyes
Happiness is knowing you are loved
(instrumental break)
Oh oh oh, in my heaven here on earth I found my paradise
What a satisfying feeling reaching for the skies
Happiness is seeing all the stars in your eyes
Happiness is knowing you are loved
I berode the fears I had and sorted them all out
Took a love offered me and pushed away the dark
In my heaven here on earth I found my paradise
What a satisfying feeling reaching for the skies
Happiness is seeing all the stars in your eyes
My happiness is knowing you are loved
(instrumental part until end)
With your love I was complete
Like a haven safe from harm
Till the bitter stole the sweet
I was perfect in your arms
A precious while I had your smile
Till it all fell apart with one change of heart
The pain and regret will fade but a fact of love will still remain
You can't always trust happiness
Love like a sweet parade till the saddest part when the music fades
You can't always trust happiness
If a single star I see
Ever made a wish come true
It would bring you back to me
But the best my heart can do
Is to love again, I don't know when
Still it's worth all I fear, the heartaches and the tears
Love like a lesson learned when we pass the point of no return
You can't always trust happiness
There in love's steady glow hides the power to hurt us so
Take a gamble with your heart
Take a chance on happiness
Odds are on your better half
You'll be glad you placed the bet
Think it over - what's to lose?
All the odds are in your favour
Play your cards right - no excuse
You know life is what you make it
Scared to move case you get shortchanged
But nothing venture, baby - nothing gained
Take a gamble with your heart
Take a chance on happiness
Toss a coin or turn a card
Time to give those blues a rest
Play for keeps - bet your life
I see loving in your future
You'll never know if you don't try
Missionary or kama sutra?
If there's room for you to improve
There's only one thing left for you to do
Take a gamble with your heart
Take a chance on happiness
Take the plunge - leap in the dark
Put your instincts to the test
Take a gamble with your heart
Take a chance on happiness
Turn or leave me - coming start
Find out what you like the best

I don't believe what I'm hearin'
You can't impress me by what you show me
Don't think I am goin' through changes
Or you might see me change for the last time
Having a bad day
Better deal with it
If you're playin' games
No time for it
If you're bringin' pain
Gonna run from it
Don't mess up my day
I'm the only one who's responsible
For me havin' fun
And you can't change that
CHORUS:
Happiness is what my life's about
Happiness no I can't do without
Happiness nothing can stop me now
Through ups and downs I'm still happy
Life is as good as I make it
I can't sit while you make it for me
I like those jewels you gave me
But I wanna buy some jewels for myself
To lose the ball and chain
Gotta reach for it
Nothin' comes for free
Gotta reach for it
No I'm not gonna have to depend on you
I'm the only one
Who's responsible
For me having fun
And you can't take my
Don't know what I want to do
My laziness'll see me through
Happiness is all I need
The truth is never guaranteed
I'll let my state of mind content me
'til I know where my life has sent me to
All day long is long enough
To fill my head with useless stuff
Wisdom sometimes comes my way
Stolen from the words you say
I'll let my state of mind content me
'til I know where my life has sent me to
My life feels so worthwhile
When I go where you send me
When I can't find a smile
You've got one to lend me
What I don't see will sometimes find me
The truth is not what love will blind me to
My life feels so worthwhile
When I go where you send me
When I can't find a smile
You've got one to lend me
My life feels so worthwhile
When I go where you send me
When I can't find a smile
Activity's killing the actor
And the cop's standing out in the road
Turning traffic away
There was nothing she could do until after
When his body'd been buried below
Way back in the day
Oh my, nothing else could have been done
He made his life a lie so
He might never have to know anyone
Made his life a lie you know
I told him that he shouldn't upset her
And that he'd only be making it worse
Involving somebody else
But I knew that he'd never forget her
While her memory worked in reverse
To keep her safe from herself
And oh my, nothing else could have been done
She made her life a lie so
She might never have to know anyone
Made her life a lie you know
What I used to be will pass away and then you'll see
That all I want now is happiness for you and me
What I used to be will pass away and then you'll see
That all I want now is happiness for you and me
What I used to be will pass away and then you'll see

Lea:
You know some kids ask us what happiness really is.
Well, to me happiness is a hamburger, going to the movies, new clothes.
Well, what's your happiness, gerard?
Gerard:
My happiness is a hotdog sandwich, new rubber shoes, new t-shirts,
New jeans and also my favorite part of happiness is love.
Lea:
Happiness is two kinds of ice cream
Finding your skate key, telling the time
Happiness is learning to whistle
Tying your shoe for the very first time
Happiness is playing the drum in your own school band
And happiness is walking hand in hand
Gerard:
Happiness is five different crayons
Knowing a secret, climbing a tree
Happiness is finding a nickel
Catching a firefly, setting him free
Happiness is being alone every now and then
And happiness is coming home again
Lea:
Happiness is morning and evening
Gerard:
Daytime and nighttime, too
Both:
For happiness is anyone and anything at all
That's loved by you
Gerard:
Happiness is having a sister
Lea:
Sharing a sandwich
Both:
Getting along
Happiness is singing together when day is through
And happiness is those who sing with you
Happiness is morning and evening
Daytime and nighttime, too
For happiness is anyone and anything at all
You really hurt me so
It really made my sense slow, but now
I've come to peace
You're knckin' on my door
Ain't never touchin' me ne more, that's how
my life will change
I don't want to be with you on my new way
And I'm tellin' you it's gonna start today
Happiness can't last forever
So I guess we'll better dissever
Can leave behind your love, you see
you can make it hard for me now
But I will get trough this thing somehow
I'm gonna be o.k.
It wasn't worth the time
All mountains you were gonna climb for me
you never did
I was your speechless toy
As if i that'd be my only joy, I say
you've donne me wrong
Down by the lost highway cafe
I met a man there with a map in his hands
He said I'm a little bit confused
And I'm not sure where I am
He said I'm trying to find this place
Been trying to get there for a long, long time
Then he smiled and looked away and asked me if I'd heard of happiness
I told him it just might take a while
Maybe some years and a lot of miles
Go down the road till you hit partyville
Don't stop unless you're looking for cheap thrills
Go past love till you hear wedding bells
Stop at honeymoon and rest a spell
You might get lost on the way's my guess
It ain't easy finding happiness
He said I think I understand
I better go before the sun goes down
Cause it's hard to see at night
And I just don't trust my eyes anymore
I said good luck and watched him leave
He hit the fast lane then he disappeared
Just another weary traveler like so many trying to find his way back home
There's so many stops along the way
You keep hoping that they'll come a day
I should've told him
But I think he knows
So many places he shouldn't go
So many souls that get turned around
Looking and wondering why it can't be found
It's a straight shot past loneliness
Why can't we seem to find happiness
Its easy to get turned around I guess
You really hurt me so
It really made my sense slow, but now
I've come to peace
You're knckin' on my door
Ain't never touchin' me ne more, that's how
my life will change
I don't want to be with you on my new way
And I'm tellin' you it's gonna start today
Happiness can't last forever
So I guess we'll better dissever
Can leave behind your love, you see
you can make it hard for me now
But I will get trough this thing somehow
I'm gonna be o.k.
It wasn't worth the time
All mountains you were gonna climb for me
you never did
I was your speechless toy
As if i that'd be my only joy, I say
if something's there for everyone,
got to know how to get it,
it's only there if you want it now,
it's a song it's a good time it never ends.
time's going by, gotta try and try,
seeds we sowed yesterday,
can bloom before we die.
hey good angel, when are you coming back,
we're looking for colours,
there's so many colours.
time spent on tries,
is not wasted time.
a day is coming,
hope is surfacing.
how soon is now?
when will it be time?
time is running and i see nothing.
there's only one sun for this big big world,
and i know we're all running the same race,
but are we looking in the same place?
it isn't always black or white,
or simply good and evil.
we all share a part in this ,
let's get down to work together.
if something's there for everyone
Congratulations, oh baby I'm back again
I'm loaded down with my god and my medicine
I know wisdom is change
So why can't you function that way
Here I am flaunting my self control
'Cause happiness is more than a kiss you know
I'm activating all your promises once again
And pushing forth dear with the rage of my reverence
We could close our eyes
And recklessly run on through
Any space and time
havent had half a hand ____ half of what i am havent heard of half the things that happened in the past havent given half the time to half the people who have the things ive planned you dont have to be so cruel, 'cause all i do is a little lesson when i can happiness will only happiness will only happen when it can happen when it can havent had the half of mind to ___ to start to take a stand havent held on half as long, as i had hoped as i had hoped ___ havent missed half the shit, they said id never have? a chance happiness you dont have to be so cruel 'cause all i do is a little lesson when i can happen happiness happen happiness happen happen happiness
With your love I was complete
Like a haven safe from harm
Till the bitter stole the sweet
I was perfect in your arms
A precious while I had your smile
Till it all fell apart with one change of heart
The pain and regret will fade but a fact of love will still remain
You can't always trust happiness
Love like a sweet parade till the saddest part when the music fades
You can't always trust happiness
If a single star I see
Ever made a wish come true
It would bring you back to me
But the best my heart can do
Is to love again, I don't know when
Still it's worth all I fear, the heartaches and the tears
Love like a lesson learned when we pass the point of no return
You can't always trust happiness
There in love's steady glow hides the power to hurt us so
You can't always trust happiness
Happiness is a drug
Happiness don't pull the rug on
Happiness has begun
Happiness that's never undone
Take me and blow all my cares away
And I hope that this feeling stays
'Cos I'm loving your love each day
Summer has gone and the winter's here
And I hope that the spring is near
'Cos I'm living the favourite year
Happiness is hard to get
Happiness is being wet
Happiness is a song
Happiness, it never lasts long
Happiness is the way
Happiness is being gay
Happiness is a song
Happiness never lasts long
Summer has gone and the winter's here
And I hope that the spring is near
Happiness yeah
Happiness is like tv
On or off
It's up to me
Happiness yeah
Relationships
Are like a cow
Growing strong
Just for now
Poor little cow
Mom and dad
Are like my head
I won't listen to them
Until they're dead
Or I'm dead
Sad but true
Sad but true
Self indulgence
Inconsiderate bitch
Inconsiderate bitch
You're nothing more than this girl
C'mon everybody, sing
Pain and sadness
Are real to me
They stick around
And let me be
Give it up
Try again
Give it up
Try again
Ain't life fun?

Self indulgence
Insonsiderate bitch
Inconsiderate bitch

Ain't life fun
Happiness?
Sad but true
Sad but true
Self indulgence
Inconsiderate bitch
Inconsiderate bitch
Ain't nothing more than this
Happiness showed up today and rang it's bell above the din
Long enough to change the spin and turn my wheels around
I had driven past my last regret, down the side road of despair
Where the answers don't come up for air and grace just can't be found
All my fears disguised as truth danced the dark night of my soul
But the light of day revealed no proof that God would let me down
Happiness showed up today drunk again and full of wit
Singin "let's see how far we can spit and leave those tears to dry"
The past is gone and all for naught, the future cannot be controlled
And the only moment we can hold is this one going by
All those lies I told myself, all those brutal self-hate jabs
Makes a heart feel like a concrete slab. well kiss those days goodbye
Happiness showed up today, a silver throated mocking bird
All hail the higher, I'm higher every day and there is a will
There is a skill a powder a pill to make me stay that way.
Happiness for a day or 2, that's my limit I'm a junkie how
'bout you? Someday I'm gonna blow and when I do, happiness
for a day or 2.
Down here for worship I'm higher every day and how much I
Pray how much I pray that I don't stay that way.
Happiness for a day or 2, that's my limit I'm a junkie how
'bout you? Someday I'm gonna blow and when I do, happiness
for a day or 2.
I was well on my way, yes I was well on my way to the
Sun - to fun.
Happiness for a day or 2, that's my limit I'm a junkie how
'bout you? Someday I'm gonna blow and when I do, I had
the happiness.
I want to know...
Happiness for a day or 2, that's my limit I'm a junkie how
'bout you? Someday I'm gonna blow and when I do, I had the
You're the only girl that I've been dreamin' of...

Now I'd be the first to admit it...
Had me straight flippin' out when a nigga hit it...
See love was so right...
Ass was so tight...
Just the way I like it (right, right, right)...
A ghetto queen on my team...
If love was a game, you'd be first down, second string...
Shorty you play your position well...

Girl you bring me Happiness...
Whole lot of lovin' without the stress...
You're not my only but my favorite...

Happiness so hard to come by
So good while it lasts, some people
Say that it ain't worth pursuin'
'Cos it's always moving too fast
Still I wonder, what could it be
And I wonder, what does it mean
Cos' I'm oh, so in love with you
If this ain't happiness baby, it'll do
Let us call it happiness, yes
Happiness so hard to deal with
When there is sadness in your eyes
As you come through the door
It may leap out of the darkness
It's always yelling, 'Surprise'
So I wonder, what could it be
And I wonder, why me
'Cos I'm oh, so in love with you
If this ain't happiness baby, it'll do
Let us call it happiness, yes
Oh, there's no denying, it's one of those things
That money can't buy but still we try
May we all mop up and our cup runneth over
May we all have more than enough of
Happiness, yes, happiness
'Cos I'm oh, so in love with you
If this ain't happiness baby, it'll do
Let us call it happiness, yes
'Cos I'm oh, so in love with you
If this ain't happiness baby, it'll do
Let us call it happiness, yes
Wait until happiness is here
Happiness she says is a state with no fear
Wait until happiness is here
Cause happiness she says is a state with no fear
Sitting backwards
Down in the pool
The water's sleazy and sort of cool
Waiting till happiness is here
Cause happiness she says is a state with no fear
Nevermind me 'cause I've been dead
Out of my body been out of my head
Nevermind the songs they hum
Don't want to sing along
There's nothin' that I said
That'll bring you happiness happiness
Is hard to come by I confess
I'm bad at this thing happiness
If you find it share it with the rest of us
Nevermind the words that came
Out of my mouth when all that I could feel was pain
The difference in the two of us
Comes down to the way
You rise over things I just put down
That'll bring you happiness happiness
Is hard to come by I confess
I'm bad at this thing happiness
If you find it share it with the rest of us
Rest of us
Ooh ooh ooh
Nevermind me 'cause I've been dead
Out of my body been out of my head
Nevermind the curse I wore
Proud like a badge
Till it just don't shine no more
That'll bring you happiness happiness
Is hard to come by I confess
I'm bad at this thing happiness
If you find it share it with the rest of us
Life goes on....at least that's what they say
Though dreams may die...they never fade away
Yesterday is gone forever-Would you trade tomorrow for today
I had given up all hope, of ever feeling like I had
In the days of our perfection, 'fore everything went bad
When I think of all those heart aches...it amazes me, no end
We could rise to this occassion...find our happiness again
Locked in time...together in the past
Our innocence...was never meant to last
So we share our final sunset...and we got our separate ways
I had given up all hope, of ever feeling like I had
In the days of our perfection-'fore everything went bad
When I think of all those heart aches...it amazes me, no end
We could rise to this occassion...find our happiness again
Find our happiness again
Find our happiness again
I can never find our happiness again
Ohh...na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Oh we'll never find our happiness again
(to fade)
uh...yeah (x4)

i love pointless effluent
it seems to love me
it's sticking to my heart like polythane glue
making everything seem so sweet
big wide world of bitterness baby

rotting my brain once again

drug me fuck me dull the pain
i don't ever want to know
knock me down and i'll get up again
you know that i'll do what i'm told
i've got a spec of truth caught in my eye
stings like hell and it's making me cry
getting up would only leave me wondering why
everything's turning grey
and now i'm...
rotting my brain once again
it's always the same and it never ends (x4)
You've given me happiness and I really love you
I've been thinkin of you ever since the day we met
Given me happiness and I feel the fire burning with desire
And I swear I won't forget
Can you tell what you have done for me
You opened up my eyes and I see
We've stood through the test of time
And oh I'm glad that your mine ooh
And you've given me happiness and I know it's real
Girl you make me feel so good and I know
That you belong to me
Given me happiness the way you show you care
And how your always there for me
It's like I'm in a dream
You just came along and won my heart
It happened from the very start
I thank god for who you are
Your my bright shining star ooh
I will follow you now wherever you go
I'll be with you now, stick around forever
And I never wanna see those tears again, no, no
When will you realize that I ain't that tough?
Save what you got, keep it safe, don't ever stop
There's nothing more, it's nothing less
It's all we got, it's happiness, it's happiness
Ain't that right? Ain't that right?
And I will have a thousand dreams of how I care for you
Through these careless dreams, look into the future
And I never wanna see those tears again, no, no
When will you realize that you make me breath out?
Save what you got, keep it safe, don't never stop
It's nothing more, it's nothing less
It's all we got, it's happiness, happiness
Oh, it's always been you, it's always been you
And I know you got to make it right
Handing out my feelings on these goods are too loud
Oh and it don't matter, yeah I pay my dues
And you know there's one thing that keeps us together
It's gonna keep us together now, now, now, now
Save what you got, keep it safe, don't ever stop
It's nothing more, it's nothing less
It's all I got, it's happiness, happiness
Drowning in the lake
I only left her for a couple of seconds
And now she's gone
Waking up for what?
As I pace back and forth
Maybe it's time to move away
But what would that prove anyway?
Listening to the answering machine
Over and over
Only to hear your voice one more time
Just one more time
[x2]
It's not your fault, that's what they all keep saying
(That's what they all keep saying)
Ruining my sight, there's nothing left
Why do I bother praying?
(Why do I bother praying?)
ohhh whoaaa ohhh..
Beg me for directions
Like I have all the answers
I neglected her life
Now what, what do I do with mine?
Listening to the answering machine
Over and over
Only to hear your voice one more time
Just one more time
[x2]
It's not your fault, that's what they all keep saying
(That's what they all keep saying)
Ruining my sight, there's nothing left
Why do I bother praying?
(Why do I bother praying?)
Drowning in the lake
I only left her for a couple of seconds
(Drowning in the lake)
(I only left her for a couple of seconds)
I only left her for a couple of seconds
We're on our way to next train station
Passing fields, my mind is wondering of,
they don't mean much to me
Happy is a silly word if you
Think about all the joy we had
There's so much left to see
Is happiness a word without meaning?
heaven a place in utopia?
But in the end, we keep on moving
Reverse is not, it's not part of our style
Forward is the only way
Is happiness a word without meaning
heaven a place in utopia?
We cannot shout silently
We shouldn't run away so slowly
There's so much left for us to do
We got to figure out
If happiness has no meaning
if heaven is part of utopia
If happiness has no meaning
If heaven is part of utopia,
Join our group and you will find
Harmony and peace of mind
Make you better
We're here to welcome you
We're all on a journey to
Finding the real inner you
Make you better (make you better)
(We're here to welcome you)
Time stops still when
You've lost love
Happiness
How'd you get to be
Happiness
How'd you get to find
Love, real love
Love, love, love
Floating in the magic world
Donate all your money we'll
Make it better (make it better)
(We're here to welcome you)
We can see you troubled soul
Give us all your money we'll
Make it better (make it better)
(We're here to welcome you)
Time stops still when
You've lost love
Happiness
How'd you get to be
Happiness
How'd you get to find
Love, real love
Love, love, love
We'll be swimming in the sea
Of wisdom and serenity
Make you better
Happiness
How'd you get to be
Happiness
How'd you get to find
Love, real love
There's just one thing
That we all crave
From the cradle
To the grave
A state of grace
A point in space
Or point in time
In time of peace
In times of war
The self same goal
That we yearn for
Some have it all
But still have less
What we all need is happiness
Happiness is what you need
Yeah happiness is all around
It's not easy to define it
It can't easily be found
No it can't easily be found
It can't easily be found
You know that it's true
'cause' happiness
Just can't be bought
Such purity more precious still than gold
And happiness
Can't just be taught
When you're young or if you're old
No matter how - how hard you try
In your own life, and through your years
With every up - must come a down
Enjoy the laughter and the tears
I didn't know it could feel like this
I didn't know the hurt
And I try to explain to myself
But I can't find no word
So I lie about it
And I tell 'em, I'm feelin' fine
And I'll cry about it
Hoping tomorrow will change my mind
Happiness has come to this
And God, it's such a heavy burden to bear
I didn't know it could be like this
I didn't know it could go so far
And I try to reveal the part of me
But you can't find no scar
And I lie about it
And I tell 'em I'm feelin' fine
And I cry about it
Hoping tomorrow will change my mind
Happiness has come to this
And God, it's such a heavy burden to bear
Life goes on... at least that's what they say
Though dreams may die... they never fade away
Yesterday is gone forever-Would you trade tomorrow for today
I had given up all hope, of ever feeling like I had
In the days of our perfection, 'fore everything went bad
When I think of all those heart aches... it amazes me, no end
We could rise to this occassion... find our happiness again
Locked in time... together in the past
Our innocence... was never meant to last
So we share our final sunset... and we got our separate ways
I had given up all hope, of ever feeling like I had
In the days of our perfection-'fore everything went bad
When I think of all those heart aches... it amazes me, no end
We could rise to this occassion... find our happiness again
Find our happiness again
Find our happiness again
I can never find our happiness again
Ohh... na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Oh we'll never find our happiness again
feeling strong i must confess
overcome with happiness
faith and love are the greatest things
i'll just spread my wings
and ill fly straight up t'wards our heavens with the strength of my doubts
giving thanks with what we have
still we are go to doubt
patience in watching the evil wave goodbye
now that fortune is nothing we give when
we belong, to all of this
the devila hand, the angels kiss
making love of the sweetest things
is what tomorrow brings
and i find strength and we might never know what it all is about
though i give thanks for what i have
and what i have is no doubt that
patience is walking and breathing with you now
know that fortune is nothing we give hand out
happiness seems like an even reward
as we try to get home and we give for this
patience, now
happiness, how
patience is walking and breathing of the sky
now that fortune is nothing we get when we die
happiness seems like an even reward
as we try to shift all of the blame for this
patience, now
We were sitting in a t-bird
It has not consented to run since 1970
Brothers bent on the destruction of innocent t-birds
Crowbarred everything but the
Radio, windshield, driver's side mirror
Love is alone with the radio on
And love is a newly blind
Fumbling fumbling
Tell me what to do with all this
Happiness
Lobsters nesting in a dead man
Waiting at the bottom of the lonely ocean
Neighbors swimming in their fishbowls
Television blue glow if you go i won't know anyone
Taking a bath in the deadly sunshine
Time is a car with the radio on and
Time is a broken boat
Ruddering ruddering
Tell me what to do with all this
Happiness
Busted and broken didn't get very far
Busted and broken sittin right where you are
[let it last another summer]
But i'm a feather flying, i'm a leaf on the wind
There's no school like driving with the wind on your skin
[let it last another summer]
Love is a newly blind
Time is a broken boat
Taking a bath in the deadly sunshine
Time is a car with the radio on
And time is a broken boat
Ruddering ruddering
Tell me what to do with all this
Verse One:
Yo, it's a beautiful day, and everybody's feelin' wonderful
The ladies is out, lookin' fly, dressed comfortable
I love to wake up, and feel the breeze through my window
Slip on a fatigues, grab a dutch and roll some indo
It be days like these, that make life so much easier
Fish thawin' out, Guinness Stout in the freezer
Walk the block at my leisure (my leisure)
Summertime is like a anesthesia
So many pretty things to please ya
The greenery
Beautiful birds, natural scenery
Or even just a infinite sky
We be forever puffin' lah
On the block, or tellin' jokes in the ride (ha ha ha)
When the weather be hot, everybody be outside (whut)
Havin' fun (aight?), eatin' fresh fruits and vegetables
And good food put me in the mood for a festival
Some say the summer make a woman more sexual (s'up, boo)
It's instinct -- that's why my game be right on schedule
I put the great Mother Nature on a pedestal
She always fly, but today, she's exceptional
If I had a chance to make a wish
Every day would be just like this, full of Happiness
Chorus:
I feel great
Even though we got mad things to deal with
Happiness is all in the mind
Let's unwind, and find a reason to smile
I'm just glad to be livin'
Feelin' fine
Leavin' my bad times behind
Feels great
And no, we can't escape from the realness
Happiness is all in the mind
Let's unwind, and find a reason to smile
I'm just glad to be alive
Feelin' fine
Livin' life one day at a time
Feelin' great
Yeah, knaw'msayin'?
I just wanna give a shout out
To everybody who got a birthday today
Happiness (Happiness)
Verse 2
Have you ever heard the children play?
Sometime, I feel the same way, roll up a j, and get away
Put some food on the grill
And just chill
Maybe build with my elders (uh)
Never know the things they could tell ya
Learnin' why the caged bird sings (why it do that?)
'Cuz it's the vital things you know that separate the men from the Kings
The flowers that bloom and the Sun (uh)
And everybody singin' the tune, 'cuz it's time to have fun
We out, rollerbladin' (uh, uh), a day where no one coulda stayed inside
Wash the car, now it's time to take a ride
Me and my crew hangin' out, all night to sunrise
Celebration of life, 'cuz every day is a surprise
Think of the rich countryside on the land of Jamaica
Mountains, springs and green acres
Or any other place in the world your mind takes you
It's the good times in life that everybody can relate to (uh)
And you can leave your troubles behind
And have a wonderful time
Lay back and just ease your mind (whut)
You can leave your troubles behind
And have a wonderful time
Lay back and just ease your mind
Uh...yeah (x4)
Uh...
I love pointless effluent
It seems to love me
It's sticking to my heart like polythane glue
Making everything seem so sweet
Big wide world of bitterness baby
Poisoning up this tongue
Give her this life it's sweet respite
Let's rip that packet of fun
Rotting my brain once again
It's always the same it never ends (x2)
Love me lovely cathode-ray
Mother me in your glow
I'll do anything you say
If you tell me i'll never be alone
Touch me shiny magazine
Touch me way down there
I can't help imagining
That you really care
Rotting my brain once again
It's always the same it never ends (x4)
Drug me fuck me dull the pain
I don't ever want to know
Knock me down and i'll get up again
You know that i'll do what i'm told
I've got a spec of truth caught in my eye
Stings like hell and it's making me cry
Getting up would only leave me wondering why
Everything's turning grey
And now i'm...
Rotting my brain once again
Now that I found peace at last
Tell me, Jesus, will it last?
Now that I found peace at last
Tell me, Jesus, will it last?
The birds are laughing in the trees
It's only make believe
It's only love
It's only love
It's only love
I Swear
I wanna hold you, and treat you right
The cigarettes, and the morning light
I can do wrong, but I will do right
I see you later
It'll be alright, yeah
Now that I found peace of mind
Tell me, Jesus, is it mine?
Now that I found peace of mind
Tell me, Jesus, is it mine?
Birds are laughing in the trees
And in the empty breeze
It's only love
It's only love
It's only love
I Swear
I wanna hold you, and treat you right
The cigarettes, morning light
I can do wrong, I can do right
I see you later
Be alright, yeah
Happiness, happiness
Happiness, happiness
I wanted more, but live with less
Live again
Happiness
Now that I found peace at last
Tell me, Jesus, will it last?
Now that I found peace at last
Tell me, Jesus, will it last?
Happiness
I love the way you love to live

your heart's so freely
you're a sweet sensation
you're my invitation to happiness
you're full of sweet surprises happiness
you fill my heart desire
more, more, more and more
and over and over again
keep that goodness coming
I love the way you watch the world
through kind eyes
that's why you're never sad, sad
things don't bother you like dos, don'ts and whys

Yeah, yeah
happiness

more, more, more and more
and over and over again

Have you ever felt before
That everyone around you knows the deal
Except you
And it makes you feel
Like a moray eel
Green and blue
But listen up because
I know just how it feels to want more than you have
In life
Have you ever felt uncool
On the way to school, you drag your feet around.
Sometimes you act like a fool
Just to get her to look over at you
But listen up because i know just how it feels
To be the only one without a clue
Happiness is when you're not stressed
Though you messed up many things
And all the rest
You can forget 'cause its not worth suffering
Maybe i'm not all that you expect me to be
But one day
Happiness is overrated
It always lets me down
It's artificially inflated
She's a flirt and she burns me every time
Happiness is just a dream and nothing's what it seems
Happiness broke my heart
But You caught all the pieces
I thought that I'd found it all
But Your love is so much deeper
Even though my life's a mess
I love You more than happiness
Before I knew it, it was over
Without a kiss goodbye
No more candy hearts and roses
I've got to get this off my chest, I'm done with
happiness
Happiness broke my heart
But You caught all the pieces
I thought that I'd found it all
But Your love is so much deeper
Even though my life's a mess
I love You more than happiness
Why am I so obsessed?
I'm totally unimpressed
This happiness is getting me down
Happiness broke my heart
But You caught all the pieces
I thought that I'd found it all
But Your love is so much deeper
Even though my life's a mess
I love You more than happiness
Now that I found peace at last
Tell me, Jesus, will it last?
Now that I found peace at last
Tell me, Jesus, will it last?
The birds are laughing in the trees
It's only make believe
It's only love
It's only love
It's only love
I swear
I wanna hold you, and treat you right
The cigarettes, and the morning light
I can do wrong, but I will do right
I'll see you later, It'll be alright, yeah
Now that I found peace of mind
Tell me, Jesus, is it mine?
Now that I found peace of mind
Tell me, Jesus, is it mine?
The birds are laughing in the trees
And in the empty breeze
It's only love
It's only love
It's only love
I swear
I wanna hold you, and treat you right
The cigarettes, the morning light
I can do wrong, I can do right
I'll see you later, be alright, yeah
Happiness, happiness
Happiness, happiness
Happiness, happiness
I wanted more, but live with less
Happiness, happiness
Live again, happiness
Happiness
Now that I found peace at last
Tell me, Jesus, will it last?
Now that I found peace at last
Tell me, Jesus, will it last?
What I'm a longing for is some happiness (x2)
Happiness is when you share dat love wit one another
Happiness is when you ?? together
you got to ??? ??
they can get no time to press
because of all the distress that the society leads
What I'm a longing for is some happiness
Happiness is when you give Jah praises
Happiness is when you livin with the feel of mind, oh yeah
Friday 13, lights go red, green, in a coffee shop
I'm giving you the look
While someone else
Is fingering your wallet in my pocketbook
It's a mean town but I don't care
Try and steal this
Can't steal happiness
Got a charger, no cell phone, I can't call out
Unless it's to cry your name out the open window
To a sky that looks right back
And says it's never seen rain
Sometimes you gotta start clean
You gotta begin not begin again, oh no
And as we fly around the sun
We know we're not the only ones
Love for the lonely
It's been a long time coming
Can you hear that hopeful heart?
Night settles, still working on a way to breathe
Don't you go, don't you go down
Lalala la la (Repeated)
Everything will be perfect
Tonight and forever
The light shine off, the light shine on
Making our faces many colors
Everyone is moving
Like waves make an ocean on and on
Everybody's singing, yes
This is happiness happening
Lalala la la (Repeated)
Everything will be perfect
Everything will be perfect
Everything will be perfect
Tonight and forever
Everything will be perfect
Tonight and forever
The light shine off, the light shine on
Making our faces many colors
Everyone is moving
Like waves make an ocean on and on
Everybody's singing, yes
This is happiness happening
Everything will be perfect
Everything will be perfect
Everything will be perfect
Tonight...
Everything will be perfect
Tonight and forever
The light shine off, the light shine on
Making our faces many colors
Everyone is moving
Like waves make an ocean on and on
Everybody's singing, yes
This is happiness happening
Lalala la la (Repeated)
Everything will be perfect
Everything will be perfect
Everything will be perfect
Tonight and forever
Ba ba pa la la ba pa (Repeated)
Everything will be perfect (will be perfect, will be perfect)
Tonight
Everything will be perfect (will be perfect, will be perfect)
I was born with so much love
I burst each time the sun rises
I reserved the hurt I feel
To make happy suprises
In my heaven here on earth
I found my paradise
All the laughter in my heart
I credit to your smile
Happiness is seeing
All the stars in your eyes
Happiness is knowing
You are loved
I berode the fears I had
And sorted them all out
Took a love offered me
And pushed away the dark
In my heaven here on earth
I found my paradise
What a satisfying feeling
Reaching for the skies
Happiness is seeing
All the stars in your eyes
Happiness is knowing
You are loved
Oh oh oh, in my heaven here on earth
I found my paradise
What a satisfying feeling
Reaching for the skies
Happiness is seeing
All the stars in your eyes
Happiness is knowing
You are loved
I berode the fears I had
And sorted them all out
Took a love offered me
And pushed away the dark
In my heaven here on earth
I found my paradise
What a satisfying feeling
Reaching for the skies
Happiness is seeing
All the stars in your eyes
Happiness is knowing
We're so in love with fighting that we're blocking out the lighting of the sun.
There's no one left to lead us. We're a nation of retreaters, every one.
I won't be afraid.
Show me the light that You promised.
Happiness comes through despair.
Make it so bright, You kill the darkness everywhere.
You've given me a reason, and You're surely gonna see me if I run.
And when I wanna quit it, well, You won't let me forget it 'till it's done.
Now that I've found my tune, help me to sing it through,
And not be drawn away.
And if I should be let down by one of those standing 'round,
I will not turn away.
Do I really need a reason?
Is it really such a big deal?
It just seems like the right situation
To say how I really feel.
I love the way that you look at me.
And I can't stop looking at you.
And the sweetest thing that you do for me-
Is all the little things that you do.
And when the world don't feel like turning,
And the sun just wants to hide,
All the stars come out to remind me
Of the universe by my side.
All that happens is Happiness.
Happiness- when I'm with you.
We ain't got a whole lot of money...
How about a five star Happy Meal?
Every day with you is just like a party,
There's nothing left of me for you to steal.
And when the winter wind is blowin',
I feel you blowin' kisses in my ear.
And when you think that you're just talkin'-
You know its singin' that I hear.
All that happens is Happiness.

I've reached the end
My life has been deranged
From tears to joy
My life's about to change
I'm coming out
Now things will go my way
It's gonna be a perfect day
I've earned my happiness forever
A change is gonna come
Happiness together
With love and wine and song
But when I seize the perfect moment
And life's about to shine
Happiness salutes me everytime
I'm always last to grasp what's going on
I'm on the right but always end up wrong
I break a leg with heartache still attached
What can I do to shape my act
I've earned my happiness forever
A change is gonna come
Happiness together
With love and wine and song
But when I seize the perfect moment
And life's about to shine
Happiness salutes me everytime
I've reached the end
The point of no return
From here it's only crash and burn
I've earned my happiness forever
A change is gonna come
Happiness together
With love and wine and song
But when I seize the perfect moment
And life's about to shine
Happiness salutes me everytime
But when I seize the perfect moment
And life's about to shine
I can see the sun coming up, and I need it - ooh yeah
I feel like I've been down for a while
Cause if the grass was always greener, then you know I haven't seen her,
I feel like I been dying for a smile
OoOooh ooOooh, and I'm not gonna stop, ooOooh
Cause times waits for no one
Oooh ooOooh I gotta warn me what I got ooOooh
While I'm alive (live)
I can feel the world spinning round, can you feel it? - ooh yeah
Before everything comes tonight
I've been blinded by the light, and can't see a thing in si-ight
Sit tight sit tight, it'll be alright - woooaaah
OoOooh ooOooh, and I'm not gonna stop, ooOooh
Cause times waits for no one
Oooh ooOooh I gotta warn me what I got ooOooh
While I'm aliiive
Happiness, you belong to me!
Happiness your mine - ooOOoo-wooah
Happiness, you belong to me!
Happiness your mine - ooOOoo-wooah
I said I been looking for you, but I haven't found ya
I said I been looking for you, but I haven't found ya

Happiness, you belong to me!
Happiness your mine - ooOOoo-wooah
Happiness, you belong to me!
Happiness your mine - ooOOoo-wooah
Happiness, you belong to me!
My world was empty and cold
Never had someone to hold
Never had someone to love me
And then you came in my life
Now the stars all shine so bright
Oh I feel like I'm in heaven
I can't believe we're together
And I can't get you out of my mind
I want you here forever
Until the end of time
*Happiness is when you're here with me
My heart's filled with joy oh can't you see
Happiness is when you're here with me
My whole world just comes alive
Ihad no reason to feel
That I'd find a love so real
That I'd give my heart so sweetly
I'll always cherish you I swear
Can't you see I'm yours completely
I can't stop thinking about you
My emotion is stronger each day
My life is lonely without you
Don't ever go away
*repeat
So hold me close and believe me
I'm yours only
My love never fade away oh
Are you looking for happiness?
Are you looking for something better?
Do you ever feel emptiness?
Are you scared it’s gonna last forever?
Don’t give it away, don’t give it away.
I don’t want your happiness.
I don’t need your happiness.
So never show me happiness.
I don’t want your happiness.
Everybody needs sanctuary.
Everybody needs hope and freedom.
Not everybody needs a preacher.
So don’t tell me what you me to hear.
And don’t give it away, don’t give it all away.
I don’t want your happiness.
I don’t need your happiness.
So never show me happiness.
I don’t want your happiness.
I don’t want your happiness.
I don’t need your happiness.
So never show me happiness.
I hope you find happiness.
We don’t need your cheap salvation.
We don’t want your sympathy.
We don’t need your cheap salvation.
Over and over again.
We don’t need your cheap salvation.
We don’t want your sympathy.
We don’t need your cheap salvation.
Happiness.
I don’t want your happiness.
I don’t need your happiness.
So never show me happiness.
I don’t want your happiness.
I don’t want your happiness.
I don’t need your happiness.
So never show me happiness.
Where?
Where can I buy happiness?
Does anybody know?
Where can I buy happiness?
I was raised in the desert by an unknown tribe
Had no exposure to the world outside
‘Til I was captured, I was taken to this place
Where the faces are many and they race just like
shooting stars!
I miss my home and I know that it’s gone
But I don’t know how to carry on
In this world where I don’t come from
I guess I’ll just do the same
Well I got a little money, now I hope I got change!
Where?
Where can I buy happiness?
Does anybody know?
Where can I buy happiness?
'Cause I don't know
Deep in the city where the lights are like a bad dream
There’s people selling trees and snow in every window
I heard a story of a man called Christ
And to celebrate his birthday everybody pays a high
price
They must keep happiness behind closed doors
'Cause I can’t seem to find no happiness store
Is to raise a smile against the law?
'Cause they all look just how I feel
And if they got a little joy then
I’m happy to make a deal
Well I’ll beg and I’ll borrow but
I’m not gonna steal!
Where?
Where can I buy happiness?
Does anybody know?
Where can I buy happiness?
Where?
Where can I buy happiness?
Does anybody show me?
Where can I buy happiness?
'Cause I don't know
Can anybody tell me?
Where?
Where can I buy happiness?
Could anybody show me
Where can I buy happiness?
To be without desire
Destroys a different style
To let her pass you by
It's no good
If only we could walk away
With all this out my way
To be without you
It's no good
To grab the biggest cake
Gives life its zest and taste
This is the truth, my friend
It's not good
Happiness is success
Success brings hope
I gotta turn this car around
I never should have left you there
Boy this traffic is making me sick
Boy I can't wait to have you near
I gotta hurry, hurry, hurry
Now quick, quick, quick
Just step on the gas 'cause I don't wanna miss this
This opportunity will only come once in my life, my life
I gotta hurry, hurry, hurry
Now quick, quick, quick
Just step on the gas 'cause I don't wanna miss this
See what you're bringin' me boy is priceless
I gotta be out of my mind not to try this
Through strength I found love
In time I found myself in happiness with you
Through strength I found love
In time I found myself in happiness with you
Boy, I need to say what's in my heart
I was scared but I'll do my part
I came back to tell you face to face
So what we have won't go to waste
I gotta hurry, hurry, hurry
Now quick, quick, quick
Just step on the gas 'cause I don't wanna miss this
This opportunity will only come once in my life, my life yeah
Sorry, sorry, sorry, I'm coming down to fix this
You should know how I feel, I know I got you twisted
See what you're bringin' me boy is priceless
I gotta be out of my mind not to try this
Through strength I found love
In time I found myself in happiness with you
Through strength I found love
In time I found myself in happiness with you
The things that you can give to me
I can feel it when you're holding me close
You're like one of the world wonders
I know I'm going under
Come see that I'm ready for this
And you're so good for me
You're my true joy
You make me wanna say
Through strength I found love
In time I found myself in happiness with you
Through strength I found love
I'd like a world that's filled with happiness and sorrow
The way you're thinking means there's no days like tomorrow
Oh, oh
Togetherness, foreverness means nothing less than happiness
Togehterness, foreverness means nothing less than happiness
And that's the way it should be
Oh, living happily
I'd like a world that's filled with happiness and sorrow
The way you're thinking means there's no days like tomorrow
And that's the way it should be
Oh, living happily
Oooh, happily
As happy as we can be
And that's the way it should be
Big boys don't cry big boys don't cry Big boys don't cry
I've reached the end my life has been deranged From tears to joy my life's about to change I'm coming out now things will go my way It's gonna be a perfect day
I've earned my happiness forever A change is gonna come Happiness together With love and wine and song But when I seize the perfect moment And life's about to shine Happiness eludes me every time
Big boys don't cry big boys don't cry Big boys don't cry
I'm always last to grasp what's going on I'm on the right but always end up wrong I break a leg with heartache still intact What can I do to shape my act
I've earned my happiness forever A change is gonna come Happiness together With love and wine and song But when I seize the perfect moment And life's about to shine Happiness eludes me every time
Big boys don't cry
I've reached the end the point of no return From here it's only crash and burn
Oh happiness is two kinds of ice cream
Finding your skate key, telling the time
And happiness is learning to whistle
Tying your shoe for the very first time
Happiness is playing the drum in your own school band
And happiness is walking hand in hand
And happiness is five different crayons
Knowing a secret, climbing a tree
Happiness is finding a nickel
Catching a firefly, setting it free
And happiness is being alone every now and then
And happiness is coming home again
Happiness is singing together when day is through
And happiness is those who sing with you
And happiness is morning and evening
Daytime and nighttime too
For happiness is anyone and anything at all...
Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I possess
I thank the Lord I've been blessed
With more than my share of happiness
To me this world is a wonderful place
And I'm the luckiest human in the whole human race
I've got no silver and I've got no gold
But I've got happiness in my soul
Happiness to me is an ocean tide
Or a sunset fading on a mountain side
A big old heaven full of stars up above
When I'm in the arms of the one I love
Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I possess
I thank the Lord that I've been blessed
With more than my share of happiness
Happiness is a field of grain
Turning its face to the falling rain
I can see it in the sunshine, I breathe it in the air
Happiness happiness everywhere
A wise old man told me one time
Happiness is a frame of mind
When you go to measuring my success
Don't count my money count my happiness
Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I possess
I thank the Lord I've been blessed
With more than my share of happiness
Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I possess
I thank the Lord I've been blessed
[CLARA]
I'm so happy,
I'm afraid I'll die
Here in your arms
What would you do
If I died
Like this -
Right now,
Here in your arms?
That we ever should have met
Is a miracle
[GIORGIO]
No, inevitable -
[CLARA]
Then inevitable, yes,
But I confess
It was the look --
[GIORGIO]
The look?
[CLARA]
The sadness in your eyes
That day
When we glanced
At each other in the park
[GIORGIO]
We were both unhappy
[CLARA]
Unhappiness can be seductive
[GIORGIO]
You pitied me...
[BOTH]
How quickly pity leads to love
[CLARA]
All this happiness
Merely from a glance
In the park.
So much happiness
So much love --
[GIORGIO]
I thought I knew what love was
[CLARA]
I wish we might have met so much sooner
I could have given you --
[GIORGIO]
I thought I knew what love was
[CLARA]
-- My youth
[GIORGIO]
I thought I knew how much I could feel
[CLARA]
All the time we lost...
[GIORGIO]
I didn't know what love was.
[CLARA]
I've never known what love was.
[GIORGIO]
But now --
[CLARA]
And now --
[BOTH]
-- I do.
It's what I feel with you.
The happiness I feel with you.
[CLARA]
So much happiness --
[GIORGIO]
You are so beautiful...
[CLARA]
-- Happiness by chance in a park.
[GIORGIO]
Not by chance,
By necessity --
[CLARA]
Surely, this is happiness -
[GIORGIO]
- by the sadness that we saw in each other.
[CLARA]
- no one else has ever felt before!
[BOTH]
Just another love story,
That's what they would claim.
Another simple love story -
Aren't all of them the same?
[CLARA]
No, but this is more,
we feel more!
[BOTH]
This is so much more!
(Smiling at each other)
Like every other love story.
Some say happiness
comes and goes.
then this happiness
is a kind of happiness
No one really knows.
[GIORGIO]
I thought I knew what love was.
[CLARA]
I'd only heard what love was.
[GIORGIO]
I thought it was no more than a name for yearning.
[CLARA]
I thought it was what kindness became.
[GIORGIO]
I'm learning -
[CLARA]
I thought where there was love there was shame.
[GIORGIO]
- that with you -
[CLARA]
But with you -
[BOTH]
- there's just happiness.
[CLARA]
Endless happiness ...
[spoken] What?
[GIORGIO]
[spoken] Not now ...
[CLARA]
[spoken] Tell me ... please.
[GIORGIO]
[spoken] I received my orders from headquarters.
I've been transferred to the Fourth Brigade.
[CLARA]
[spoken] When?
[GIORGIO]
[spoken] I leave in five days. Clara, don't look so sad.
[CLARA]
[spoken] You're the one that makes me happy.
[GIORGIO]
[spoken] We'll make the most of the next four days.
I'll steal as much time as I can. Then after I leave,
we'll write to each other ever day.
We'll make love with our words.
You'll be with me ever day, Clara.
[CLARA]
[spoken] I must go. I'm expected.
[GIORGIO]
God, you are so beautiful.
I love to see you in the light,
Clear and beautiful, memorize
Every inch,
every part of you
to take with me.
[CLARA]
[spoken] Giorgio...
[GIORGIO]
Your feet so soft,
As if they'd never touched the ground.
[CLARA]
[spoken] I must go ...
[GIORGIO]
Your skin so white, so pure, so delicate.
Your smell so sweet, your breathe so warm.
I will summon you in my mind,
I'm painting you indelibly on my mind.
[CLARA]
Let me go ...
[GIORGIO]
We must fill every moment.
[CLARA]
All this happiness ended by a word in the dark.
[GIORGIO]
Oh my love, oh my darling ...
[CLARA]
So much happiness wasn't meant to last.
[GIORGIO]
I am here,
I am with you
I am yours.
[CLARA]
I never knew what love was.
[GIORGIO]
Your skin,
your silken hair ...
[CLARA]
I always thought I didn't deserve it.
[GIORGIO]
Your breasts, your lips ...
[CLARA]
I didn't know what love was.
[GIORGIO]
I want you every minute of my life ...
[CLARA]
I don't know how I'll live when you're gone!
[GIORGIO]
I will always be here.
[CLARA]
I don't know how I'll live ...
Giorgio ...
Don't leave me ...
[COLONEL]
[spoken] Thank you Lieutenant.
[DOCTOR]
[spoken] How was "Rigoletto"?
[TORASSO]
[spoken] Terrible. These touring companies get no better.
[LOMBARDI]
[spoken] Nor do you.
[TORASSO]
[spoken] I sing to lighten the weight of your cooking.
[BARRI]
[(spoken) (examining his plate)] Sergeant, what is this?
[LOMBARDI]
[spoken] It's veal.
[BARRI]
[spoken] Again? We had veal four days ago.
And from the looks of it, it was this veal.
[LOMBARDI]
[spoken] Lieutenant Barri, if I hear -
[RIZZOLLI]
[spoken] Colonel, I've heard a rumor that the King is
about to sign a treaty with the French.
[DOCTOR]
[spoken] Really?
[COLONEL]
[spoken] I've heard no such rumor, Major.
[DOCTOR]
[spoken] Where did you come by this information?
[RIZZOLLI]
[spoken] In town.
[COLONEL]
[spoken] You can't believe everything you hear in a whorehouse.
[RIZZOLLI]
[spoken] That is where Garibaldi got much of his information, sir.
[DOCTOR]
[spoken] Ah, so that's why you go there!
[COLONEL]
[spoken] Ah, Captain Bachetti. Welcome.
We wondered when you were going to arrive.
May I introduce Doctor Tambourri, Major Rizzolli ...
[TORASSO]
[spoken] Lieutenant Torasso.
[BARRI]
[spoken] Lieutenant Barri.
[LOMBARDI]
[spoken] Sergeant LOMBARDI
[BARRI]
[spoken] Our cook.
[COLONEL]
[spoken] Come. Come and join us.
[GIORGIO]
[spoken] Could you post this one for me?
[LOMBARDI]
[spoken] You'll have to excuse our rather limited menu,
Captain.
It's difficult to grow vegetables in this mountain soil.
[DOCTOR]
[spoken] We're a bit isolated here, Captain.
Not only from anything green and edible,
but also from life and ideas.
[RIZZOLLI]
[spoken] I just add vinegar to everything
[TORASSO]
[spoken] Captain Bachetti, the COLONEL has been telling
us of your triumphs pinning down the Russian infantry.
[GIORGIO]
[spoken] I'm not sure that my actions worried your attention.
[TORASSO]
[spoken] Come, come. Didn't you rescue a wounded man
in the midst of fire and then carry him on your horse to camp?
[GIORGIO]
[spoken] Only to our battalion.
[BARRI]
[spoken] Say you brought him back to camp!
Why settle for being half a hero when full-fledged
is just a white lie away?
What you gonna do?
What you gonna do with people like that?
What you gonna say
What you gonna say that will make them change their minds
Woo you gonna find
Who you gonna find to listen anyway
Where you gonna go,
Where you gonna go to try and get it straight
I once found the recipe, for what to do to cure my needs
I packed some things just what I need
Only bare necessities
Asked Mrs Walsh to feed my cat
Calling Lord Tate to tell him that
I'm going home where my people live
Need a little bit of happiness, yeah
Who's it gonna be
Who's it gonna be who'll tell it like it is
Who you gonna blame
Who you gonna blame for all our differences
Where's it gonna end
Where's it gonna end if anywhere at all
Where you gonna go
Where you gonna go if you can't take it all?
I once found the recipe, for what to do to cure my needs
I packed some things just what I need
Only bare necessities
Asked Mrs Walsh to feed my cat
Calling Lord Tate to tell him that
I'm going home where my people live
Need a little bit of happiness, yeah
Write a little note and apologise
To the next door so they realise
Call up little Max and her sister Jean
Say sorry for inconveniencing
Order a cab, take it to, the bus station up on 42
I'm going home, where my people live
I need a little bit of happiness yeah
I need a little bit of happiness yeah
I need a little bit of happiness yeah
CHARLIE BROWN

February skies
You cause the resurrection of my butterflies
We got dressed up in disguise
And I tried my best but I just can't recognize you
Well you, you got no excuse
Is this making you happy?
Is this making you happy?
'Cause it's true, you're all I have to lose
So if it's making you happy
Then it's making me happy too
Go do what you like
'Cause you always find a way to be satisfied
But when all that glory dies
You can find me trapped behind your tired eyes
Yeah you, you got no excuse
This is making you happy
This is making you happy
And it's true, you're all I have to lose
So if it's making you happy
It must be making me happy too
Well, I don't know who you are

You know the pressure is building up on me.
The news has got me convinced that everyone is guilty.
Outside the rain is dripping, "oh so nice?"
But wouldn't go out, couldn't just smile, I couldn't be me.
Confusion's got the better part of me.
And all you gotta do is pretend that we are working,
On a better world that's lost all of its turning.
It's like we never do a thing.
Does that give you happiness?
Oh happiness! Yeah happiness is all I need from you.
Yeah happiness is all I need from you.
And everybody seems to be feeling the same way I do.
What's new in the tabloids? "The sky is falling on you!"
Maybe we are all crazy, maybe we are just lazy,
In time you'll realize, yeah you just might.
Maybe the world keeps turning on its other side.
And all we gotta do is pretend that we are walking,
Around a world where a sun's still shining.
The weather never does a thing,
But it gives you happiness!
Oh happiness, yeah happiness is all I need from you,
You're walking hand in hand
You're smiling smiles and I can't stand it
It's beautifully ugly
I have to fall apart
Just so my pieces look like art
That's as beautiful as I get
But you take it all away
When I see the smile on your face
I don't mind, it keeps me in my place
You can tear my heart right out
Leave me here with all my doubt
You don't scare me more than I do
' cause I don't think I'm scared of anything'
Except happiness
You think I'm copping out
But there's no argument or doubt
That you don't know what you're missing
That's why I bring you down
So there's no place to go but up
It's positive thinking
But you take it all away
When I see the smile on your face
I don't mind, it keeps me in my place
You can tear my heart right out
Leave me here with all my doubt
You don't scare me more than I do
' cause I don't think I'm scared of anything'
Except happiness
But I guess maybe love wouldn't kill me
If I let it in
Oh no there I go again talking like a fool
I would never be the same again
You can tear my heart right out
Leave me here with all my doubt
You don't scare me more than I do
' cause I don't think I'm scared of anything'
Pull over
Pull over
Pull over and talk to me
I know you're much to young to spend all your time with me
And I want to drag you into my car
I want to give my love to you
And I want to give my time to
Don't need your help
Don't need your help
Don't need your help
Don't need your help
I need your happiness
I need your happiness
I need
Whoa
I need your happiness
Pull over
Pull over
Pull over and talk to me
I know you're much too young to spend all your time with me
And I want to drag you into my car
And I want to give my love to you
I want to give my time to
Don't need your help
Don't need your help
Don't need your help
Don't need your help
I need your happiness
I need your happiness
I need
Whoa
I need your happiness
Pull over
Pull over
[Chorus: Darien Brockington]
Good people, good loving
Good music in my life, it makes me happy
Good people, good loving
Good music in my life, it makes me happy
So happy
[Phonte:]
Aiyyo man, I don't ask for much
I just wanna chill at home and sip my drink out of my plastic cups
Even though my roommate have me mad as fuck
Nigga be acting crackish, fucking up my money hustling backwards
Financially I took some hard blows
But shit I also rocked some hard shows
Niggas came to check us out by the carloads
Screaming my name like I scanned a million barcodes already
My squad flows till we all sweaty
We struggling to pay our bills so we really can't ball heavy
And God knows I be calling on him
Cause I be writing mad cheques that might as well have Spalding on 'em
The shoulders of my team, I be falling on 'em
Providing support that help the pain go away
And helping me to see the light like Towa Tei standing by me
That's all I really need to satisfy me
It's just my peeps y'all, for real
[Chorus: Darien Brockington with Phonte]
Good people, good loving
Good music in my life, it makes me happy
Aiyyo, it's real easy to see
Don't take much to please a cat like me, that's how we doing it
Good people, good loving
Good music in my life, it makes me happy
Uh uh, now bring it back
So happy
[Rapper Big Pooh:]
There's been nights I wanted to quit, broke, crying to God
It's kinda hard going far with a lot to carry
Waking up still tired from sessions
Going to class, dozing off, waking up, never learning the lessons
But thanks to my faith and blessing
Struggles pass and I go about life without half the stressing
I know who got my back, no need for raising the question
Cause when times get hard, it's to my brothers I call
Taking the weight, no matter large or small
I smile everyday, thanks to y'all, we gonna eat for real
Ease the mind so we can sleep for real
It took longer than we wished but the blow meant I knew we could
Find the best way to live life, it's so right
We jail tight, ain't no strip stopping our move
We one nation all under a groove
Sending peace to that cat Nicolay, we gonna meet real soon
I'm so happy
[Chorus: Darien Brockington with Rapper Big Pooh & Phonte]
Good people, good loving
Good music in my life, it makes me happy
Uh, we doing this for y'all

And it's just the way we gots to keep it on
For my man Big Dho and Chaundon, let's get it going y'all

Taking y'all on a high with it, feel it, c'mon
Good people, good loving
Good music in my life, it makes me...

Happiness
Billy Lawrence
Ooooh'
Ohh happiness
Ooh ooh
Oh Happiness is what I feel when you're around me
And baby don't you know that's all I feel
Hey loving you is something so easy to do
You are a part of me, Baby that's all I need
Bridge1
You came into my life,
When my world seemed so un-right
You walked inside my dreams,
Dreaming to me is now reality
You are my precious one,
You're my sunshine when it's raining
Now that you know all these things
I wanna welcome you in my arms of happiness
Chorus
Ohh Happiness (ohh happiness)
Feels so good to be alive
Ohh Happiness (ohh happiness)
Now that I know I have you by my side
Ohh Happiness (ohh happiness)
(I feel so happy baby)
Feels so good to be alive
Ohh Happiness (ohh happiness)
Now that I know I have you by my side
Ohh Happiness is all I feel when you're around me
Whenever I'm feeling down, I just make sure you're around
And I wish I could give you what you've given to me
Just to know how I feel, Baby I know it's for real
Bridge 2
You came into my life,
When my world seemed so un-right
You walked inside my dreams,
Dreaming to me is now reality
You are my precious one,
You're my sunshine when it's raining
Now that you know all these things
Let me welcome you in my arms of happiness
Chorus
(music break)
Ohh Happy Baby (ohh happiness)
Feels so good to be alive
Ohh Happiness (ohh happiness)
Now that I know I have you by my side
Ohh Happiness (ohh happiness)
(I feel so happy baby)
Feels so good to be alive
Ohh Happiness (ohh happiness)
Now that I know I have you by my side
Bride2
Chorus
Happiness was just outside my window
I thought it'd crash blowing 80-miles an hour
But, happiness is a little more like knocking
On your door, you just let it in
Happiness feels a lot like sorrow
Let it be, you can't make it come or go
But you are gone, not for good but for now
And gone for now feels a lot like gone for good
Happiness is a firecracker sitting on my headboard
Happiness was never mine to hold
Careful child, light the fuse and get away
‘Cause happiness throws a shower of sparks
Happiness damn near destroys you
Breaks your faith to pieces on the floor
So you tell yourself that's enough for now
But happiness has a violent roar
Happiness it's like the old man told me
Look for it, and you'll never find it all
But let it go, live your life and leave it
Then one day, wake up and she'll be home
Home, home, home
She'll be
She'll be
She'll be home
She'll be home
She'll be home
She'll be home
She'll be home
She'll be home
She'll be home
She'll be home
I woke up at 4 PM, and I stayed in bed till 8
I got up to call my dentist, but it was too late
I had to make an appointment,
But who needs teeth when you don't smile anyways?
They'll just rot away
I sleep most of the day so I don't see the sunlight
I learned all of my skills in the middle of the night
But I woke up early in the morning
I saw the sun exploding in the sky
I thought, "Why, oh why was I spared when my best friend died?"
So stay in bed and keep your head close to the door
Don't say a word
'Cause if you do, they'll be after you
Like they were with me
When I was a kid, I always said I'd be a king
Of my own country, and I'd let you all in
Now that I'm older and I'm wiser, I realize that I'd be counting sins
So you can't come in
Don't point me towards the mirror, 'cause I don't like what I see
It's so easy to be lonely when you've got a face like me
And is it wrong to see a doctor every time I think I've got a new disease
Once or twice a week?
Maybe they'll name one after me
So stay in bed and keep your head close to the door
Don't say a word
'Cause if you do, they'll be after you
Like they were with me
So stay in bed and keep your head close to the door
Don't say a word
'Cause if you do, they'll be after you
Like they were with me
So stay in bed and keep your head close to the door
Don't say a word
'Cause if you do, they'll be after you
Like they were with me
So stay in bed, these kids made a mess
They made high school a miserable wreck
The blood on your shoes, it came from you
And there's nothing you can do
My brain's dead and my body follows
I'm just another explosion of a random dreamer
With nowhere else to go
I said
My thoughts are stumped and my mind is hollow
Empitied from those trafficated thoughts
That I just couldn't follow cuz I might have been stoned
Ohh, all I need is happiness, yeah yeah
A little bit of happiness
Ohhh, a little bit of freedom, exactly what I need
Yeah I'll get down on my knees for it
Ohhh, all I need is happiness, yeah yeah
A little bit of happiness
Ohhh, a little bit of freedom, exactly what I need
Yeah, just to start the dreaming with you
Why do I have to be so damn problematic?
It's just another excuses, just another reason
For me not to be me
And as times change, everybody seems to stay the same
The same, and their names don't change, don't change..
Yeah yeah
And as times change, everybody seems to stay the same
The same, and their names don't change, don't change..
Ohhh, all I need is happiness, yeah yeah
A little bit of happiness
Ohh, a little bit of freedom, exactly what I need
Yeah, I'll get down on my knees for it
We'll all look out of each other
My thoughts are stumped, and my mind is hollow
Empitied from those trafficated thoughts
That I just couldn't follow, cuz I might have been stoned
Ohh, all I need is happiness, yeah yeah
A little bit of happiness
Ohhh, a little bit of freedom, exactly what I need
Yeah I'll get down on my knees for it
Ohhh, all I need is happiness, yeah yeah
A little bit of happiness
Ohhh, a little bit of freedom, exactly what I need
Yeah, just to start the dreaming with you
As times change, we stay the same
Our names don't change, we remain insane
We're all just a bunch of random dreamers
I wanna start my dreaming with you
I was down and out, 'till you helped me out
'Cause you came and took the wheel, drove me to the sun
I've been cold and mad, just about to crack
Lost my sense of what was real and fair, in this to come
I was lost for words and attitude
When you told me the simple truth, you showed me how it's done
You gave me a sense of relief
Giving me all the strength I need and let my heart and soul be one
Oh yeah! Maybe you've been an angel
I've never seen a bigger heart
All I wanted you to know
I'm here for you, no matter what
Overload with happiness inside
I feel so overjoyed, if you are watching over me
So I will dance a little more, I stamp my feet all around the floor
I won't let you get away, baby all I want is love, all I want is love
Hey, hey, hey, I want it, so come and get it, baby, hey, ah ah
Happiness, it feels like love
If you want it just push and shove, don't you see the way, oh you said
Even need a little more, mick your feet right through the door
Honey, it ain't so lame, no, no, maybe you've been an angel
I've never seen a bigger heart
All I wanted you to know, I'm here for you no matter what! Oh!
Overload with happiness inside
I feel so overjoyed, if you are watching over me
So I will dance a little more, I stamp my feet all around the floor
I won't let you get away, baby baby all I want is more, more, more hey
All I want is more, hey
Overload with happiness I feel inside
I feel so overjoyed, if you are watching over me
So I will dance a little more, I stamp my feet all around the floor
Overload with happiness inside
I feel so overjoyed, if you are watching over me
Nothing is all
I get after all
Something as quiet
As a man when he dies
Nothing is all
And I feel so small
Emptiness comes
After we cry
After the storm
Like we were born again
After the storm
Like we were born again
Nothing is all
I get after all
But nothing can last
Your secret is mine
Nothing's as real
As a heart when it bleeds
Would I feel free
If it stopped to beat
After the storm
Like we were born again
After the storm
Gotta give up on this feeling
It’s frustrating how easily you’re coerced
Into fits of anger
Daniel laughs he knows I’ve said a mouthful
Even as we laugh we can’t escape the feeling
That we’re falling down, falling down
It was a much shorter trip than I expected
Laughing at ourselves as we amount to nothing
Life is pretty hard but there is one thing that’s sure
The falling apart is easy
Fall apart now
Happiness comes when you get to the point
YOU GIVE ME HAPPINESS
YOU ARE THE LIGHT OF MY LIFE
YOU GIVE ME HAPPINESS
YOU ARE THE SUN IN MY LIFE
BABY, EVERYTIME YOU COME AROUND ME
YOU MAKE MY SOUL SHINE!
Don’t you know, before I met you
Baby, I used to be so blue
Boy, I didn’t know how it felt like
To really, really love someone
But since you came into my life
Baby I just feel so damn alive
CHORUS
It’s you that color all my days
It’s you that bring the passion at night
Baby, when you put your arms around me
I really feel like I’m in Paradise
Cause since you came into my life
Baby I just feel so alive
Suddenly the strangest feeling
Inside of me
I don't know what it is
Turning into someone else
Do i need it
Still i don't know what it is
Suddenly my only friend is
Loneliness
And all i'm wishing for is
Happiness
Searching for a part of me
My long lost friend
Where could she be?
Suddenly my world is turning
My life stands still
Calling my name
Suddenly my only friend is
Loneliness
And all that i am wishing for is
Happiness
Suddenly my only friend is
Loneliness
I can turn the gray more blue
Give me a chance and I'll show you
How to go from good to bad to worse
And then you see my greatest gift is, falling down and taking it
'Cause everything is better when it hurts
My biggest torture
[CHORUS]
Hapiness in all kinds of weather
For worse or for better
I'll have it anyway
But happiness can't last forever
You know there's never
Pleasure without the pain
Here it comes again, here it comes again
Happiness, happiness, happiness...
I used to dream of oceans wide
Somewhere in another life
I am floating far from everything
I need someone to pull me back
From the edge of where I'm at
Cause if I hit the bottom
One more time
I'll never find
[CHORUS]
All you have to do
Is put a smile on you
Now comes the weather
Worse or for better
I'lss have it anyway
[CHORUS]
Now comes the weather
Worse or for better
I'lss have it anyway
Happiness
Can't last forever
You know there's never, never
Pleasure without the pain
