    Lyrics below:
    Ooh-ooh-ooh
    Ooh-ooh
    Ooh-ooh-ooh
    Ooh-ooh
    This is the happy house
    We′re happy here in the happy house
    Oh it's such fun, fun, fun
    Whoa-ohh
    We′ve come to play in the happy house
    And waste a day in the happy house
    It never rains, never rains
    We've come to scream in the happy house
    We're in a dream in the happy house
    We′re all quite sane-ane-ane
    Whoa-ohh
    This is the happy house
    We′re happy here, oh
    There's room for you if you say you do
    But don′t say no or you'll have to go
    We′ve done no wrong with our blinkers on
    It's safe and calm if you sing along
    Sing along, sing along
    Ho-ho
    This is the happy house
    We′re happy here in the happy house
    To forget ourselves and pretend all's well
    There is no hell
    Ho-ho
    Whoah-ohh-ohh
    Ooh-ooh-ooh
    Ooh-ooh
    Ooh-ooh
    Ooh-ooh
    Ooh-ooh
    Ooh-ooh
    Ooh-ooh
    Ooh-ooh
    Ooh-ooh
    Ooh-ooh
    I'm looking through your window
    Ooh-ooh
    I′m looking through your window

      My wife and I weren't married yet, so my kid can only say we were there. She does get to claim me as a 9/11 survivor though, which was not nearly as fun as Lollapalooza "91.

      music, the music we shared, to draw
      close to him. Again, I am sorry for
      your losing both of your parents at such

    As someone suffering from Agoraphobia after having my son, and literally being afraid to just leave my house, this song resonates with me greatly, expressing how we unreasonably believe our house is the only safe place, but we’re pretty much stuck here due to our own fears, and justify our fears by falsely thinking our house is the only safe and happy place in the world, when in reality, it’s trapping us and suffocating us.

      Same! I literally came here to say the same thing! It's one of my absolute fave songs of the post-punk era, and on listening to this again for the first time in years (I had the LP, who knows where that is now), I realised that proto-breakbeat is really just awesome. That's Budgie, who became Siouxsie's partner. The whole thing is just perfection - the lyric, Siouxsie's vocal (of course), John McGeoch's poignant lead guitar (why he isn't in the video...), and Steve Severin with that great bassline. All fabulous.

      Budgie is one of the greatest drummers around.
      From Wiki:
      In 2013, Spin rated him at No. 28 in their list of "The 100 Greatest Drummers of Alternative Music", writing: "Post-punk introduced a lot of amazing drummers, but none more influential than Budgie. With the Banshees, Budgie didn't just play rhythms-he played hooks and leads, brilliant parts that set the songs on fire. His tom-tom-intensive approach, [was] enlightened by his awareness of world music".Spin considered his "most booming moment" to be "Into the Light", from 1981's Juju, saying: "Budgie drums up a marvel of kinetic syncopation and invention".

      Before breakbeat existed -amazing. Budgie was into polyrhythms etc, and this was really a much better take on a "reggaeish" vibe than so many non-Jamaican musicians who attempted it. So, imagine in some alternate universe, instead of sampling the Amen Break ad infinitum, if somehow Budgie's beats became the basis of DnB

    And waste a day in the happy house-it never rains
    We've come to scream in the happy house We're in a dream in the happy house
    We're all quite sane
    This is the happy house-we're happy here There's room for you if you say "I do"
    But don't say no or you'll have to go
    We've done no wrong with our blinkers on It's safe and calm if you sing along
    This is the happy house-we're happy here in the happy house.
    To forget ourselves-and pretend all's well There is no hell.

    So good. Revisiting this band so many years later and they are still so relevant. Lots of influence on some newer music that my kids listen to. Of course they like this too.

    Used to go to a goth club, and this was one of the songs the DJ would play when he was switching from "shit nobody wanted to dance to in order to make them get their drink on" to "shit people wanted to dance to to get the floor packed by midnight."

      @@ciao214Z No, 2000's. The now defunct Lizard Lounge in Dallas-Fort Worth. They did Praise The Lord (PTL) club on Thurs and The Church on Sundays. When I started going, the main room DJ played a lot of old-school classics like this, Type-O Negative, etc. DJ Virus in the other room would play more modern stuff. Then the main room guy quit or something, and DJ Virus took over the man room and sometimes played old-school stuff.. but usually played more "stompy" stuff. Funs times. Folks were really chill and nice, and the music was great.

    This is the happy house
    We're happy here in the happy house oh
    It's such fun, fun, fun
    We've come to play in the happy house
    And waste a day in the happy house
    It never rains
    Weve come to scream in the happy house
    We're in a dream in the happy house
    Were all quite sane
    This is the happy house
    We're happy here
    There's room for you if you say I do
    But dont say no or you'll have to go
    We've done no wrong with our blinkers on
    It's safe and calm if you sing along
    This is the happy house
    We're happy here in the happy house
    To forget ourselves
    And pretend all's well
    There is no hell
