"Happening In English"
(Howard Devoto / John Doyle / Noko)

I know that argument
And it's always revealing
Even when they say all the words
With absolutely no feeling

It's always happening in English
It's always happening in English

I know this dreary wait
I know what's behind that door
I no longer hold my breath
Not as stubbornly as before

It's always happening in English
It's always happening in English

You were never ever shy after you'd been bitten
And I know your hefty price and I know on what it's written
I know that high, and I've read about the mighty
And when there's nothing left to my name or psyche...

I'll still know that tune
And I'll still know I'm dreaming
Oh, don't I know that face?
Weren't we at the same screening?

All this is happening in English
All this is happening in English

You were never ever shy after you'd been bitten
So I know your hefty price and I know on what it's written

I know those dulcet tones
I know how they resound
I've passed on many a day
Listening closely to your clowns

It's always happening in English
It's always happening in English
All this is happening in English
All this is happening in English
