Dennis Lyrics by Glenn Tilbrook

Happy Ending

0

Maybe he took his life for granted
How can I say I never knew
Pretty much finished as I started
When the fun fun was no longer new

[Chorus]
Oh, the flat-topped, hard-nosed kid from Hawthorn
Everybody always wanted to be
Loved his distractions wild and free-form
Lived in the fast lane, naturally

Tonight I find myself in Blackburn
Playing songs that people want me to play
If I'm indulgent I can empathize
With burning the candle, fading away

[Chorus]
Oh, the flat-topped, hard-nosed kid from Hawthorn
Who everybody always wanted to be
Loved his distractions wild and free-form
Lived in the fast lane, naturally

He was beautiful and difficult, too
There was always a party and somebody new
The fingers on one hand counting
The disappointment mounting
Wild-eyed crazy shouting
Wild-eyed crazy shouting

Maybe he took his life for granted
How can I say I never knew
Pretty much finished as I started
When the fun fun was no longer new

[Chorus]
Oh, the flat-topped, hard-nosed kid from Hawthorn
Who everybody always wanted to be
Loved his distractions wild and free-form
Lived in the fast lane, naturally
