ITT: people who have a strange definition of "happy"

e.g. 'Leader of the Pack' - song about dumping a boy then he gets killed in a car accident. Happy how?

Christyles, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 09:36 (seventeen years ago)

The lyrics of "Twilight" deal with wanting to get out of there. While the rest of them don't make too much sense at all, I still cannot see them as particularly happy. The general theme of the "Time" album is actually very bleak.
