I'm happy, I'm happy
I'm happy, I'm happy

And I'll punch the man who says I'm not

I'm happy, I'm happy
PUNCH!

I'm happy, I'm happy

'the moon in the sky brings the tears to my eyes/
lighting my way tonight/ and i haven't felt so alive...IN YEARS !'

fantastic. depeche mode 'but not tonight'.

even more happy when u hear it in context; namely as it pops up as an extra track after the 50 solid minutes of abject misery known as the 'black celebration' album. it was their first happy song in *years* in fact.
