Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lois Lane seemed a pretty strong woman
The kind woman that a girl could be
So you've got an HND in journalism?
Because journalism could change the world
[Verse 2]
And if you change the world
Then you could be happy
Yeah, you could be happy
[Verse 3]
Choices, you make good choices
To change our world, so you could be happy
[Verse 4]
Motivation of altruism, the selfishness
The desire for the pleasure of the reward
Of the fine young cynic, you cried
[Verse 5]
Would you rather not have a go
And change the world?
Come on, come on, come on, yeah
You could be happy
Come on, come on, come on, yeah
You could be happy
[Verse 6]
Choices, you make good choices
To change our world, so you could be happy
[Verse 7]
Oh, he changed you
I mean I did not like him, no, I never liked him
Which made me not like you
Not like I used to do
No, we were never, no, we were never
We were never friends
[Verse 8]
So you could be happy
So you could be happy
[Verse 9]
Choices, you make good choices
To change our world, so you could be happy
Choices, you make good choices
To change our world, so you could be happy
[Verse 10]
At the over thirties singles night
The over thirties singles night
It's bleak, it's bleak, it's bleak
It's bleak, it's bleak, it's bleak
It's bleak, it's bleak, it's bleak
[Verse 11]
At the over thirties singles night
The over thirties singles night
It's bleak, it's bleak, it's bleak
It's bleak, it's bleak, see you next week
