When you're down to the last skin And the
limelight splutters to darkness in the death of a
Zippo. At the backstage door the last fan has long
disappeared With a plastic bag stuffed full of
memories. If only you'd signed them, if only to
testify, if only to recognise that he existed.
That for a moment he stood there. Side by side in
the gutter on the hard cold shoulder of destiny.

You say never again this is the end and it's all
gonna change you're determined this time. Year
after year you pretend it's for real and it's all
gonna change you're determined this time. Well
happy birthday to me!

When you're the worm in the bottle. You're the
last one to leave and there's nowhere to go to.
And the minicab driver politely suggests you go
home. If you could only remember, just where
that's at, Just where you been, just where it went
wrong. You'll eventually find it.

You say never again this is the end and it's all
gonna change you're determined this time. Year
after year you pretend it's for real and it's all
gonna change you're determined this time. Well
happy birthday to me!

When you're down to the end line and they're
writing you up and writing you off and it feels
just like an obituary. You feel it's all over. You
want to drive on down to the beach And just keep
on swimming. But you're still treading water.

You say never again this is the end and it's all
gonna change you're determined this time. Year
after year you pretend it's for real and it's all
gonna change you're determined this time. Well
happy birthday to me!

Happy Birthday!
