I Just Can’t Be Happy Today - Live in London 2002

[Intro: Dave Vanian]
We're accepting sacrifices later by the way

Cha cha!

I just can't be happy today (today)
Yeah, I just can't be happy today (today)

Illegal to dance
Forbidden to cry
You do what you're told
You never ask why
Ignore all those fools
They don't understand
When we make our own rules

I just can't be happy today (today)
I just can't be happy today
(I just can't be happy today) no

The lot of you know
It’s not all a smile
There's no feeling fine
Without being fined
It puts a price on your head
No point being sad when justice is red

I just can't be happy today (today)
I just can't be happy today
(I just can't be happy today) no way, oh yeah!

Closing the schools
Burning the books
John Paul is in ruins
The priests hang on hooks
The tv's on ice
The telly's been banned
The army's in power
The devil, he commands
He commands
Horny old devil that he is, yeah

Cue Monty
Alright! Yeah!
Ha! Whoa
Wha! Yeah!
Whoa

Illegal to dance
Forbidden to cry
You do what you're told
Never ask why
Ignore all those fools
They don't understand
When we make our own rules

I just can't be happy today (today)
I just can't be happy today
(I just can't be happy today) no way, yeah

You know I just can't be happy
Just can't be happy
Just can't be happy today

I just can't be happy today
Just can't be happy
Just can't be happy today, yeah

Cha cha (whoa oh oh whoa)
Oh yeah well I just can't be happy (whoa oh oh whoa)
Can't make love, just can't be happy (whoa)
You know I just, whoa
You know I just can't be happy (whoa)

Oh whoa, oh oh whoa
Oh whoa, oh oh whoa
Oh whoa, oh oh whoa
Oh whoa on
Just can't be happy today

[Outro: Dave Vanian]
I wipe away a tear
Oh to save it all
