MISERY WHAT A MYSTERY

Soko

This is pure speculation, but this song might have something to do with Oscar Wilde's "The Happy Prince", specifically the part where the Swallow tries to distract the Prince with positive stories. "'Dear little Swallow,' said the Prince, ‘you tell me of marvelous things, but more marvelous than anything is the suffering of men and of women. There is no Mystery so great as Misery.'"

LYRICS

Stop your whining
Stop your crying
Look how lucky you are
you can walk you can talk
you can dance, that's a chance we take you anywhere

misery misery
I beg you toh leave my body
and let me dance
and let me sing
for that always makes me happy

Misery what a mystery
oh why oh why me
why don't you try for once
toh get out of me

i got twoh arms twoh legs and twoh eyes
i got food at your place
and it can't be bad
you can walk you can talk
you can dance if you're sad.

misery oh misery
I beg you toh leave my body
and let me dance
and let me sing
for that always makes me happy

Misery what a mystery
oh why oh why me
why don't you try for once
toh get out of me

I got two arms, two legs,
And I got food in your place
And it can't be bad
You can walk, you can talk
dance if you're sad.

misery oh misery
I beg you to leave my body
and let me dance
and let me sing
for that always makes me happy

one day i wil be loved
all night
pray for the misery to set me free
sing along
to every single song
and tap my feet on the ground
until i'm fine
