"Happy For The First Time In My Whole Miserable Life"

Copyright. Words and music by Xanthe Littlemore

1) When I was a child I learned to escape
With records and reefers behind blackout drapes
Suddenly lately things have come out right
And I'm happy for the first time in my whole miserable life

2) Since I was born a big black cloud has hung
Over everything that I have ever begun
Today I look 'round and I don't see no strife
And I'm happy for the first time in my whole miserable life

Bridge) Oh don't bother me now, just let me exist
Let me soak in the sunshine and bathe in the mist
Oh and don't interrupt - I'm just getting the gist
You don't know what you're missing 'til you find what you've missed

3) Now I have a garden and I have a cat
The sky is so blue here and that's where it's at
I make my own dinner and I work late at night
So happy for the first time in my whole miserable life
I am happy for the first time in my whole miserable life
