Lyrics
Yes and friday was some kind of night
When weariness was the world
and the strand of the river was wild
With the birds in the phosphorous light
On parliament bridge our souls are possessed
We're all following fashion I guess
Misery is the new happiness
On the packed out commuter train
Where I'm twitching like neon tonight
and in the hollow behind our lives
Where we make our way home in the rain
On monument hill, where the cars all congest
On tailbacks of patient distress
Misery is the new happiness
Yes and fire and brimstone will come
and the night will be torn in four ways
and the madness must fall to its knees
and the fires will be bright as the sun
