Happy Endings - lyrics Chas Byrne, music Andy Lane

Romeo was born to die - Joan of Arc is burned alive - some things don't go down too well - why do you want to change it all? - I guess sad stories just don't sell - sometime the hero has to fall

No more happy endings - no more sugared lies - no more happy endings - got to let the hero die

Let the hunch back learn to fly - let the mermaid love and die - changes that take and do not give - was the story not that good before? - loonie tunes to cartoon kids - try to spot the truth once more

No more happy endings - no more sugared lies - no more happy endings - got to let the hero die

No more happy endings - no more sugared lies - no more happy endings - got to let the hero die

Take a sad story good and bad - gotta change the ending drive me mad - morals thin behind all the scenes - predicting all the laughter and the screams - heroes when the credits on the screen - is this happy ever after?

No more happy endings - no more sugared lies - no more Happy Endings - got to let the hero die

No more happy endings - no more sugared lies - no more Happy Endings - got to let the hero die

....says Chas about 'Happy Endings', "this is a full on rock song and written as a dig at large American cartoon makers who refuse to have sad endings to adaptations of classic stories. The Little Mermaid... dies at the end. The Hunchback of Notre Dame... throws himself off the tower, does this happen in the films? Like hell it does, and that p*sses me off, so hence the song and the Mickey Mouse skull on the cover!".
