lyrics

Potts the Painter’s Son would have visions.
New colours in his head, grand ambitions
It’s time to break away,
see what you can be

But now matter what you say, however far you stray
forever shall you play Happy Families

Great-grandfathers’ choices, Victorian voices,
all of them echoing still, echoing still.

Mrs Bun the Baker’s Wife spurned her daughter
who’d struggled all her life to support her.
Still it’s hard to turn away from all these sad things:

the struggle to belong, or just to get along,
Always choosing wrong – Happy Families.

All of the pain, all the searching in vain
all of it echoing still, echoing still.

And so I stole away the Baker’s Daughter
I didn’t do the things that I oughta.
But luck was on my side.
Love was on my side.
