The Divine Comedy
"The Happy Goth"

The lonely road you chose to travel on
It must seen awfully long
Innocence all gone
I must be wrong to hide you lovely face away

That music you play
I'm not saying it's bad, no no
It just seems terribly sad

Is everything alright?
I'd like to think you'd tell me if something was wrong

Well her clothes are blacker than the blackest heart
And her face is whiter than snows above
She wears Dr Martens
And a heavy cross
But on the inside
She's a happy Goth

Don't worry mum
Don't worry dad
The hours that I spend alone
Are the happiest i've ever had

Thats what she'd say
If she ever spoke to you
But it's something she can never do

Cause it's only by herself
That she'll find out
What makes her different
From the rest

Well her clothes are blacker than the blackest heart
And her face is whiter than snows above
She wears Dr Martens
And a heavy cross
But on the inside
She's a happy Goth

(Well her) clothes are blacker than the blackest heart
(And her) face is whiter than snows above
(She wears) Dr Martens
And a heavy cross
But on the inside...
