Happy Hour
Happy Hour Revelations: Decoding Life's Quirks Through The Housemartins' Lens
Lyrics
It's happy hour again
Expressing the recurrence of a joyful time
I think I might be happy if I wasn't out with them
Contemplating happiness if not in the current company
And they're happy it's a lovely place to be
Describing the enjoyable atmosphere
Happy that the fire is real the barman is a she
Highlighting positive elements like a real fire and a female bartender
Where the haircuts smile
Referring to people with trendy haircuts
And the meaning of style
Stating the significance of style
Is a night out with the boss
Describing a night out with the boss, potentially involving social judgments
Where you win or you lose
Highlighting the element of choice in social situations
And its them who choose
Emphasizing the power dynamic in social decisions
And if you don't win then you've lost
Reflecting on the consequences of winning or losing in social scenarios
What a good place to be
Expressing contentment with the current situation
Don't believe it
Suggesting skepticism or disbelief
'Cause they speak a different language
Not connecting with the language or culture of the group
And it's never really happened to me
Expressing a lack of personal experience in the situation
Don't believe it, oh no
Reiterating disbelief in the current circumstances
'Cause it's never been happy for me (oh)
Denying personal happiness in similar situations
It's another night out with the boss
Describing another night out with the boss
Following in footsteps overgrown with moss
Following a path already well-trodden
And he tells me that women grow on trees
Quoting a statement about women and their perceived availability
And if you catch them right they will land upon their knees
Suggesting a specific approach to interacting with women
Where they open all their wallets
Highlighting the materialistic nature of some social interactions
And they close all their minds
Emphasizing closed-mindedness in certain situations
And they love to buy you all a drink
Describing the act of buying drinks for others
And then we ask all the questions
Posing questions to the group
And you take all your clothes off
Describing a provocative or revealing action
And go back to the kitchen sink
Returning to a traditional domestic role
What a good place to be
Reiterating contentment with the current situation
Don't believe her
Advising against belief in a female perspective
'Cause they speak a different language
Reiterating the communication barrier with the group
And it's never really happened to me
Restating a lack of personal experience in such situations
Don't believe her, oh no
Continuing to advise against belief in happiness in these circumstances
'Cause it's never been happy for me
Affirming personal dissatisfaction in similar situations
What a good place to be
Reiterating contentment with the current situation
Don't believe her
Advising against belief in a female perspective
'Cause they speak a different language
Reiterating the communication barrier with the group
And it's never really happened to me
Restating a lack of personal experience in such situations
Don't believe her, oh no
Continuing to advise against belief in happiness in these circumstances
'Cause it's never been happy for me (it's happy hour again)
Reiterating personal dissatisfaction in similar situations
Don't believe her, don't believe her (it's happy hour again)
Repeated warning not to believe in the female perspective
Don't believe her(it's happy hour again)
Further emphasizing skepticism
And again, and again
Stating the recurrence of the happy hour
It's happy hour again, and again, and again
Reiterating the repetition of happy hours
It's happy hour again, and again, and again
Emphasizing the ongoing cycle of happy hours
It's happy hour again
Reiterating the current occurrence of happy hour
