Talk Talk - Happiness is Easy

If you're a fan of this band you've got quite a few different camps to fall in with - the pop oriented Duran Duran or there outer atmospheric post-rock. This, I think, is such an exceptional song in the catalog - first time I heard it I was floored completely.......and if that's not enough to convince you, I'm still really floored when I hear it. True story



Except for the occasional cover of there older songs, I've always been surprised how little attention this band gets....





Happiness Is Easy (6 31)

(Mark Hollis / Tim Friese-Greene)
Makes you feel much older
Sublime the blind parade
It wrecks me how they justify their acts of war
They assemble, they pray
Take good care of what the priests say
'After death it's so much fun'
Little sheep don't let your feet stray
Happiness is easy
Joy be written upon the earth
And the sky above
Jesus star that shines so bright
Gather us in love
Guilt upon their shoulders
How well the cause evades
Infecting your religions, claiming pacts
It's easy to shoulder the blame
Happiness is easy
Little ships of Galilee
Happiness is easy
Standing on the sea
Happiness is easy
Jesus tried to love us all
Happiness is easy
Be a friend to me
Happiness is easy
Try to teach my children
To recognise excuse before it acts
>From love and conviction to pray
Take good care of what the priests say
'After death it's so much fun'
Little sheep don't let your feet stray
Happiness is easy
Little ships of Galilee
Standing on the sea
Jesus tried to love us all
Be
a friend to me
Joy be written upon the earth
And the sky above
Jesus star that shines so bright
Gather us in love
