I Could Be Happy Lyrics

I would like to climb high in a tree
I could be happy, I could be happy

Or go to Skye on my holiday
I could be happy, I could be happy

Maybe swim a mile down the Nile
I could be happy, I could be happy

All of these things I do
All of these things I do
To get away from you
Get away, run away, far away, how do I
Get away, run away, far away, how do I
Escape from you?

Cannot believe no one has commented on this song. It's so simple. She is unhappy and longs to go to a bliss place away from the bearer of her pain.

@crimsoncharmed27 Thank You and indeed. For me , it's related to Love on it from her Bf or hope of Love and Happniness

What a great sound this little band had. Had that Japanese punkyness about it. Lovely!

Not as simple as it looks! I think she is expressing ambivalence and confusion. There is contradiction in the words. At first she talks about the desire to do various things that would get her away. Then later She says that she does them.

The song's video is very revealing. There is someone dressed in a lion costume that very propablly represents the 'man' she is trying to escape. A cuddly lion that she kisses at the end of the video.
