The Happiest Pretenders

Tradução

Clare Maguire

Compositor: Clare Maguire / Fraser T. Smith

He licks the paper, turns the page
He writes the spoken word again
Releases pools of untrapped blood
To camouflage what’s understood

Wrapped up in a golden throne
He undresses, overloads
Walks quietly to a distant place
Honest lies in washed out grace

Oh, oh, oh
Indicate we’re locked in
Oh, oh, oh
With the kings and queens

We are
The happiest pretenders
And we are
The happiest pretenders

Dressed down towards the Tyne
He chases evening’s wonder whys
Then misses hours time again
Sweeps him underneath its wings

Oh, oh, oh
Indicate we’re locked in
Oh, oh, oh
With the kings and queens

We are
The happiest pretenders
And we are
The happiest pretenders

And if they try
To catch us out
We’ll chase them down, yeah
We’re gonna chase them down

'Cause we are
The happiest pretenders

He wipes the crystal from his eyes
He hits the lights then leaves them dry
Undoes tomorrow's unknown will
Lets it slide, tastes the thrill
He wipes the crystal from his eyes
He hits the lights then leaves them dry
Undoes tomorrow's unknown will
Lets it slide, tastes the thrill

Oh, 'cause we are
The happiest pretenders
And we are
The happiest pretenders

And if they try
To catch us out
We’ll chase them down, yeah
We’re gonna chase them down

'Cause we are
The happiest pretenders

He wipes the crystal from his eyes
He hits the lights then leaves them dry
Undoes tomorrow's unknown will
Lets it slide, tastes the thrill
