Replacements, The - Happy Town Lyrics






The plan was to sweep the world off its feet
So you sweep the garage for the neighbors to see
The plan was to set the world on its ear
And I bet you don't know why you're here

Who knew
That avenue was bound for happy town
Happy town
Happy now
Happy town

Actors, authors, artists and thieves
Have afternoon parties where nobody heaves
Former strippers and junkies and men of the cloth
And we all fell in line and got lost

Who knew
That avenue was bound for happy town
Happy town
Hey, happy now

Happy town
Happy town

Happy town
Happy town

The plan was to set the world on its ear
And I'm willing to bet you don't last a year
The plan was to set the world on fire
But it rains every day on the liar

In happy town
Happy town
Happy town

Replacements, The Happy Town Comments
  1. S.... M....

    My favorite Replacements song on my favorite Replacements album. The album cover alone did it for me. I was 16, and those two dogs standing on a rainy dreary street reminded me a lot of my hometown (Albany, NY).

  2. M.... ....

    one of my all time favorite albums

  3. A.... P....

    Love how they fired up the Hammond Organ sound!

    A.... P....

    The sign of a great B3 player: a left hand floppin' all over the lower registers like a slippery fish!

  4. A.... P....

    Love that quirky, harmonic reverb note on the organ on the chorus.

  5. A.... P....

    Great arresting intro.

  6. �.... �....

    ааааа

  7. J.... B....

    So I guess they like the Stones....haha! That solo.....

    J.... B....

    Good one, True, very mid-70s Stones-like, Mick Taylorish on lead solo.

  8. w.... ....

    that avenue was bound for happy town...stop with the great lyrics already

  9. R.... L....
