Les Sampou - Happy AnniversaryLyrics

I watch you chase the parakeet escaping through the grass pitifully flapping within inches of your grasp Delivered from the sky, this ill-fated thing huddles in a cage and mournfully sings Happy Anniversary Happy Anniversary Giving gifts that die is not a great idea especially when our own demise is so very near shuddering, it spread its wings-stiff in deathly flight How can you abandon me on such a special night Happy Anniversary Happy Anniversary I know you meant to give your best "It's the thought that counts" What bigger line of bullshit was ever spoke out loud It's what I do to you everyday that makes me want to fly...away So bury it, my dear, it's what we do best Brush the feathers from your mouth and I'll put on your favorite dress We'll dance across the sky to Billy Holiday "Smoke, drink, don't think", She used to say Happy Anniversary Happy Anniversary sorry....
