Buzzcocks - Everybody's Happy Nowadays Lyrics

I hate the expression"so underrated" the Buzzcocks were so underrated, God forgive me.

If you go full screen and shake your phone it looks funky.

Honestly though Ash’s cover of this was killer

Awesome original song and the cover is in the movie Shaun of the dead.

I was so tired of being upset
Always wanting something I never could get
Life's an illusion, love is a dream
But I don't know what it is

Everybody's happy nowadays
Everybody's happy nowadays

I was so tired of being upset
Always wanting something I never could get
Life's an illusion, love is a dream
But I don't know what it is

'Cause everybody's happy nowadays
Everybody's happy nowadays

Life's an illusion, love is the dream
But I don't know what it is
Everyone's saying things to me
But I know it's okay, okay

Everybody's happy nowadays
Everybody's happy nowadays

Everybody's happy nowadays
Everybody's happy nowadays

Life's an illusion, love is a dream
Life's an illusion, love is the dream
Life's the illusion, love is a dream
Life's the illusion, love is the dream

Everybody's happy nowadays
Everybody's happy nowadays, days

Bet you are tired of being upset
Always wanting something you never can get
Life's no illusion, love's not a dream
Now, I know just what it is

Everybody's happy nowadays
Everybody's happy nowadays

what is his point?

plasticweapon everybody’s happy nowadays

everybody's happy nowadays

4 note perfection,keynote,top tier of my teenage snotty disaffection soundtrack,will always makes me 16 again,Thanks Pete!

rip …..

RIP Pete... The Strokes definitely listened to this a few times... classic.

Thanks for many memories. RIP, Pete...

Damn, it sucks when the first headline you read after work is Pete Shelley's death. R.I.P., sir!

Rest in peace Pete.

Remember when this song sounded different and aggressive?
Now it sounds like a good radio ready pop song.

If anything it sounds like a version of some Beach Boys song with guitars.

Even as a spotty 15 year old it was always both. I am not saying that with the benefit of hindsight either

Holy shit. The strokes definitely took inspiration from the Buzzcocks.

I'm happy for this 2001 remastered version!
