Harry James Angus Singapore
There's gotta be more than this she said
As she cooks your fish and chips
And you said I'm an accountant
But on the weekend I sail sailing ships
The baker sees the world awake
Every morning from its dreams
And the truckie drives across the land
From the mountain to the sea
Oh You gotta make that money
Is this what you wanna be?
It doesn't matter angelina
Won't you spend a while with me?
And oh, are you happy
Are you happy my dear?
Life is like a fish
That is very hard to spear
Oh Singapore
Do you hear the pirates roar
McDonalds and Christian Dior
Where there used to be the finest whores
And when the trade winds blow
You look up from your desk
To where your grandfather sailed for war
In 1944
And He didn't wanna be famous
And He didn't want no gold
He died for Queen and country
Like the warriors of old
And Oh, are you happy
Are you happy my dear?
Life is like a fish
That is very hard to spear
Oh, oh I love you
And While the seas are booming
You should try to live a life
That could be turned into a movie
There are millions of fires
In the frangipani night
And One day we will die
By dust or by the wire
By friendship or by tiredness
By water or by fire
Let's live a lovely life
And let's make love tonight
And oh, are you happy
Are you happy my dear?
Life is like fish
That is very hard to spear
