Happy
KAÉ Lyrics

Everybody Down!
Everyone, get ready for what's about to happen!

He'll be here in a second, I reckon'
He will arrive shortly, I believe.

And Becky beckoned them round
Becky gestured for everyone to gather around her.

And made them get on their knees
She instructed them to kneel down.

Behind the bar
They hid behind the bar counter.

They held their breath
They took in a deep breath and held it.

And stifled giggles
They suppressed their laughter.

Crouched down
They lowered their bodies into a crouching position.

Like a twenty-headed beast
They resembled a large, complex creature.

That writhed and wriggled
Moving and twisting.

'Happy Birthday, Pete!
Wishing Pete a happy birthday!

Another year older, eh?'
You're another year older, right?

'I never expected a thing
I didn't anticipate anything.

I don't know what to say.'
I'm at a loss for words.

Harry couldn't look at the way
Harry couldn't bear to see

Pete held Becky's hands
Pete was holding Becky's hands

Still he passed him a beer and said
However, he gave him a beer and said

'Well, there you go, big man.'
Here you go, my friend.

'Harry, this is Ron
Harry, meet Ron.

Ron, this is Harry, my brother
Ron, meet my brother Harry.

You guys should really talk to one another
You two should definitely have a conversation.

Ron runs the caff and
Ron is in charge of the cafeteria and

Harry's starting up a place of his own if he can.'
Harry is planning to start his own business, if possible.

They raised their glasses up
They lifted their glasses in a toast.

'Good to meet you, Ron.'
It's great to meet you, Ron.

'Ah, pleasure's all mine.'
I'm delighted to meet you as well.

Ron looks into Harry's eyes and recognises how they shine
Ron gazes into Harry's eyes and notices their sparkle.

Harry. He says the name to himself
Harry. He repeats the name quietly to himself

Before he's led away and introduced to someone else
Before he is taken elsewhere and introduced to another person

'Becky, this is Dale,'
Becky, meet Dale.

Pete's drunk now, warm inside
Pete is now intoxicated, feeling warm and comfortable.

Dale's awkward with a sort of
Dale appears uncomfortable with a kind of

Distorted and cautious pride on his face
A pride that is twisted and guarded is evident on his face

'Actually, we've met'
Actually, we have crossed paths before.

'Really? I'm sorry,' says Becky
'Really? I apologize,' says Becky

'Don't pretend that you forgot me already?'
'Don't act like you already forgot about me?'

'Where'd you meet?' says Pete
'Where did you meet?' asks Pete

Big smile, white teeth
With a big smile, showing off white teeth

'She was working, you remember
'You remember, she was working

It was you that made me ring her?'
It was you who convinced me to call her?'

It hits Pete, like a fist
It strikes Pete, like a punch

Where every finger wears a ring
A blow where each finger is adorned with a ring

He couldn't blink or breathe or think or anything
He was completely stunned and unable to move or process anything

'Yeah, you remember?
'Yes, you remember?

The twenty-third of November
On November 23rd

I met you in the Hotel Hacienda
I encountered you at the Hotel Hacienda

We had a couple drinks
We had a few drinks

You knew the bartender
You were acquainted with the bartender

You had a Whisky Sour
You ordered a Whisky Sour

And I had a Monumenta
While I had a Monumenta

We went up in the lift
We rode the elevator

They was playing Enya
Enya's music was playing

That made you laugh
That made you laugh

You said that Enya sent ya round the bend
You jokingly claimed that Enya drove you crazy

Pete was scared that you'd been sleeping with men
Pete was worried that you had been having affairs with other men

So he asked me to investigate
So he asked me to look into it

Now, in your defense
In your defense

You was very professional
You were very professional

I was very tense
I was very anxious

But I have to say my favorite part
However, I must admit my favorite part

Was the Happy End.'
Was the satisfying resolution.

Ron was in the toilets, washing his hands
Ron was in the restroom, washing his hands

When he heard what sounded like a man
Suddenly, he heard a noise resembling a man

Sniffing a whole gram
Snorting a full gram

In one go
In a single instance

Harry walked out of the cubicle, 'Oh!
Harry emerged from the cubicle, 'Oh!

Alright, Ron?'
Everything okay, Ron?

Ron tapped his nose
Ron tapped his nose

'You ain't got a spare line?'
'Do you happen to have an extra line?'

Harry smiled, 'No sweat.'
Harry smiled and said, 'No problem.'

Handed him the wrap and said, 'I'm going for a cigarette
He passed him the package and said, 'I'm going outside to smoke

I'll meet you at the bar, mine's a pint of Sea View.'
I'll meet you at the bar, I'll have a pint of Sea View.

Ron only had to look at the coke
Ron only needed to glance at the cocaine

And he knew
And he understood

She was dumbstruck
She was speechless

She could feel herself going numb
She could sense herself becoming numb

Clutched thumbs in her fists
She tightly clenched her thumbs in her fists

Felt unstuck
Felt disconnected

'This is wrong!
'This is not right!

Fuck this!'
To hell with this!'

Her stomach heaved
She felt her stomach lurch

'You set me up
'You tricked me

Instead of just talking to me?
Instead of simply having a conversation with me?

What about trust?'
What about trust?'

Guts twisted
Her insides convulsed

Pete was stuck to the spot, his lips shifted
Pete was frozen in place, his lips trembled

He couldn't make a sound
He couldn't utter a word

Dale stood still, calm
Dale remained motionless, appearing calm

Pete stared dumb
Pete stared blankly

Reached out, touched her arm
He extended his hand and touched her arm

She shook it off
She shrugged it off

So livid, so hurt
So furious, so wounded

She walked away without saying another word
She walked away without uttering another word

He was about to follow
He was about to go after her

But saw Dale hiding a smile
But then he noticed Dale concealing a smile

Then he couldn't help it
Then he couldn't control himself

He saw red, he went wild
He became angry and lost control

'Alright, look, son
'Listen, young man

I know we've come to have a party
I understand that we're here to celebrate

So have a couple of drinks
So enjoy a few drinks

And a dance with your auntie
And dance with your aunt

But hear this
But listen to me

Let's clear this up right now
Let's address this matter immediately

Your numbers are up, son
Your luck has run out, young man

I have found you out
I have discovered your secret

You don't know who I work for
You have no idea who I work for

Men who have hurt more
Men who have caused greater harm

Men than the world wars
Men who have caused more damage than the world wars

When you were first born
When you were born

They were killing men who were worth more
They were killing men who were considered more valuable

Than ten of your kind
Than ten people like you

Are you out of your mind?
Are you crazy?

Look, don't worry, son
Listen, don't worry, young man

I'm in no hurry, son
I'm not in a rush, young man

I'll have you on the run
I'll have you running scared

Like a funny curry, son
Like a strange meal, young man

Go back inside and make sure
Go back inside and make sure

Your brother's having fun
Your brother is enjoying himself

Just know this:
Just remember this:

Any day now, I'll be coming son.'
I'll be coming for you very soon, son.'

Becky ran out to the street feeling weak
Becky rushed out to the street, feeling powerless

She took a breath
She took a deep breath

Heart slamming its head against the wall of her chest
Her heart pounding forcefully against the wall of her chest

She looked to her left
She glanced to her left

Saw Ron, shoulders squared
Saw Ron standing firmly, with squared shoulders

Talking to Harry
Engaged in a conversation with Harry

Harry looked awkward, scared
Harry appeared uncomfortable and afraid

'What's this, mother's meeting?
'What's going on here, a secret conversation?

Come on, Harry, need your help.'
Come on, Harry, I need your assistance.'

She walked him off as Ron watched
She guided him away while Ron observed

Harry felt himself melt
Harry felt himself becoming overwhelmed

'Becky,' he began
'Becky,' he started

But he couldn't finish
But he couldn't complete his sentence

He fiddled with a cigarette
He played with a cigarette

Held it between his fingers
He held it between his fingers

'What's up?'
'What's wrong?'

She didn't need to ask, she could feel it there
She didn't need to inquire, she sensed the tension

'You got yourself in trouble with my Uncle?'
'You've gotten yourself into trouble with my Uncle?'

'Yeah'
'Yes'

He stared at the skyline
He gazed at the horizon

He tried find the right words
He attempted to find the appropriate words

'I gotta leave town
'I have to leave town

And tonight at the latest.'
And tonight, at the very latest.'

They stopped walking, turned
They halted their pace, turned around

Looked into each other's faces
Stared into each other's faces

'And I want you to come with me.'
'And I want you to come with me.'

Time stopped
Time seemed to stand still

Harry waited
Harry waited anxiously

She said nothing
She remained silent

She raised her eyebrows
She raised her eyebrows

Like he did on the night they met
Just as he had done on the night they first met

In this way they spoke at length
In this manner, they conversed extensively

And his heart heard what her eyes said
And his heart understood the message conveyed by her eyes

He said nothing
He said nothing

He just felt and hoped that he was understood
He simply felt and hoped that he was understood

Then she felt something in her melt
Then she felt something within her dissolve

And lightening flashed and thunder shook
And lightning flashed across the sky, followed by thunder

He stared at her until she heard him
He gazed at her intensely until she heard him

Felt an energy go surging through her person
Felt a surge of energy flowing through her being

Something in his eyes
Something in his eyes

She felt her body bursting
She felt her body overwhelmed with sensation

She kissed him
She leaned in and kissed him

And it reached a part of her that had been sleeping
And it awakened a dormant part of her

And she felt his heart beating in her own
And she sensed his heartbeat merge with hers

She felt complete and so known
She felt whole and deeply understood

They didn't speak
They remained silent

Ran down the street
They sprinted down the street

Leon had the motor running
Leon had started the car's engine

And they jumped in the back seat
And they quickly got into the back seat

Becky felt peace when she looked at his face
Becky felt a sense of peace when she gazed at his face

'Lets us three get on a plane and open up Harry's Place'
'Let the three of us board a plane and start Harry's Place'

He stared at her, 'Really?'
He stared at her, 'Is that really what you want?'

She nodded, his pulsed raced
She nodded, his heartbeat quickened

He reached down beside him
He reached down by his side

Brought out a suitcase
Took out a suitcase

Stuffed full of cash
Filled to the brim with cash

Leon smiled at them both
Leon smiled at both of them

'Let's fucking do it,' He said
'Let's do it,' he said excitedly

Away they drove
They drove away

Dale and Pete
Dale and Pete

Were in a pile of trainers and feet
Found themselves in a heap of sneakers and feet

Clenched fists and black eyes and chipped teeth
With clenched fists, black eyes, and broken teeth

Their dads had tried
Their fathers had attempted

To get in-between them
To intervene between them

It was like they couldn't wait to get involved
It seemed as if they couldn't resist getting involved

Graham was beating David's skull with his elbows
Graham was relentlessly hitting David's head with his elbows

David was kneeing Graham's nether regions
David was kneeing Graham in his groin

And Miriam was at the bar weeping
Meanwhile, Miriam was crying at the bar

Ron was pleased as punch
Ron was extremely pleased

With the outcome of the evening
With how the evening turned out

While Becky, Harry and Leon headed for the beyond
Meanwhile, Becky, Harry, and Leon departed for the unknown

Off to Dover for the ferry
On their way to Dover to catch the ferry

And from there, wherever
And from there, to wherever

Harry looked at Becky
Harry gazed at Becky

'Let's feel this way forever?'
'Can we continue feeling like this forever?'

Off to Dover for the ferry
On their way to Dover to board the ferry

And from there, wherever
And from there, to any destination

Harry looked at Becky, said
Harry looked at Becky and said

'Let's feel this way forever!'
'Let's continue feeling like this forever!'
