Quotes[]

Andy: “The dumbest but happiest song I ever wrote. I found the one riff that Keith Richard hadn't. Hopefully says in music what the singer (me) experiences. I'm in love and in a happy groove.”

Lyrics[]

I'm stupidly happy

Everything's fine

I'm stupidly happy

My heart pumping wine

I'm stupidly happy

With idiot grin

I'm stupidly happy

It's surely a sin


All the birds of the air call your name

As they land on my kitchen roof

All the fish in the lake do the same

Should you need extra proof


I'm stupidly happy

My vision is skewed

I'm stupidly happy

I'm coming unscrewed


And if the Devil walks up

Dressed in any disguise

I'd take him by the collars

Look him in the eyes


I'm stupidly happy

Now you're my defence

I'm stupidly happy

This world's making sense

I'm stupidly happy

I roll like a train

I'm stupidly happy

With you in my brain


All the lights of the cars in the town

Form the strings of a big guitar

I'm a giant to play you a tune

For wherever you are


I'm stupidly happy

Like the words to that song

I'm stupidly happy

No nothings not wrong


And should the Devil drive up

With his business card out

I'd tear it to confetti

With a grin and shout


Stupidly happy

All of the time

I'm stupidly happy

Now you're mine
