Rainbirds - One Sad Boy

Album:

he is one sad boy
but he would`nt shed a tear
he is one sad boy
with a conviction
he is one sad boy
which is obvious to me
for he claims to be happy
with a vengeance

and from all the girls in his world
he had to love the one
that pokes him in the eye
whenever his liveliness is souldeep
and his smile comes from within
and starts caressing her distressing boring self
with an idea
he`s one sad boy
busy proving differently
as he claims to be happy
with a vengeance

he is swimming in her pool of self-conceit
swimming round in circles
while the water`s getting turbid
swimming round in circles
when she`s gone

he is one sad boy
though he never sheds a tear
he is one sad boy
with a conviction
he is one sad boy
which is obvious to me
for he claims to be happy
with a vengeance

and from all the souls in his world he tries
to win the heart of those who just
could`nt give a damn
unless pretending to
would come in handy
when times are rough and roads are sandy
for jealousy is their
driving motion

he is swimming in their pool of self-conceit
swimming round in circles
while the water`s getting turbid
swimming round in circles
when they `re gone
