The Only Happy Boy In Copenhagen Lyrics
When I was young I knew a boy who could run a million miles
without knowing where he'd been.
But this boy he caught a flu and his lips would turn to glue
as all the fields went green
There's no point in being mean
There's no point...
'Cause I'm happy now
I'm happy now
From the thrill of my poise I'd seek it out
That's gotta be something good
When I was young I dreamt of woods,
of robbing trains and wearing hoods
Just knowing that I could
That's gotta be something good
without knowing where he'd been.
But this boy he caught a flu and his lips would turn to glue
as all the fields went green
There's no point...
'Cause I'm happy now
I'm happy now
From the thrill of my poise I'd seek it out
That's gotta be something good
of robbing trains and wearing hoods
Just knowing that I could
That's gotta be something good

I think this song is purely about the innocence and simplicity of children, and whenever the singer thinks about his childhood it makes him happy.
This song is the only one I can think of about asthma. It's very sweet though.
