background
Happy Is The Man was originally written by Mark Kerr for Sly Silver Sly.

This song was unofficially premiered by Jordi Tarda on the 11th November 2000.

"It was me who was 'bouncing off the walls' when this tune got under my skin. Written by Mark Kerr, I reckon he stole the song from me, while I was dreaming it up thinking about Zimmermann. Only fair to steal it back then. What are brothers for, if you cannot play with their toys?" - Jim, Silver Box.




lyrics
The lyrics have never been published: a transcription follows

Happy is the man born again.
He's growing hollow with age.
Makeshift heaven sins.
And he hopes you've been saved.

Yeah we hear him.
He makes no sense at all.

Happy is the man who has known,
He's made a fool of everyone.
The cut short the inside out.
Before long he's something to shout about.

Please start me bouncing off your wall.
Please start me bouncing off your wall.
No, he makes no sense at all.

Happy is the man who can't trust.
He's overcome return to just.
Lullaby look in your eye.

Yeah we hear him.
But he makes no sense.

Please start me bouncing off your wall.
Please start me bouncing off your wall.

It came over me again I said, I said.
To see you eyeing around.
Lullaby high.

Lullaby high.
And he makes no sense at all.

Please start me bouncing off your wall.
And he makes no sense at all.
Please start me bouncing off your wall.
And he makes no sense at all.
Please start me bouncing off your wall.
