"Happy For The First Time In My Whole Miserable Life" 

Copyright. Words and music by Xanthe Littlemore 

1) When I was a child I learned to escape 

With records and reefers behind blackout drapes 

Suddenly lately things have come out right 

And I'm happy for the first time in my whole miserable life 

2) Since I was born a big black cloud has hung 

Over everything that I have ever begun 

Today I look 'round and I don't see no strife 

And I'm happy for the first time in my whole miserable life 

Bridge) Oh don't bother me now, just let me exist 

Let me soak in the sunshine and bathe in the mist 

Oh and don't interrupt - I'm just getting the gist 

You don't know what you're missing 'til you find what you've missed 

3) Now I have a garden and I have a cat 

The sky is so blue here and that's where it's at 

I make my own dinner and I work late at night 

So happy for the first time in my whole miserable life 

I am happy for the first time in my whole miserable life
