Have Fun

The Beautiful South

 Have fun 
 And if you can't have fun 
 Have someone else's fun 
 'Cause someone sure had mine 
 They came in 
 now they're having a whale of a time 

 You should grow a beard 
 A beard to tell a thousand stories never told before 
 A beard to tell you tales, whilst the fireplace roars 
 The closing of relationships and the opening of doors 
 The starting of hostilities and the ending of wars 

 Take care 
 And if you couldn't care 
 Take someone else's care 
 'Cause someone took my care 
 They went there and then they were not there 

 We should have a baby 
 And then I wouldn't feel quite so sad 
 Then I'd feel like Paul the Saint and not Jack the Lad 
 A baby that'll make me feel so very glad 
 I've had a life of booze, but that's all I've ever had 

 'Cause I'm the King of Misery 
 The Prince of the torn apart 
 And you're the lighthouse keeper 
 To the owner of a ship-wrecked heart 

 Take heart 
 And if you can't take heart 
 Take someone else's heart 
 Someone took my heart 
 They came in, now I'm torn apart 

 We should grey together 
 Not that pigeon-chested Trafalgar grey 
 The grey that greets you on that first October day 
 The grey of Russian front, whilst wolves bay 
 And the skeleton of life that love decays 

 'Cause you're the Queen of Sadness 
 The Princess of the House of Pain 
 And you're the final match 
 To the holder of this flickering flame 

 Have fun
