each birthday is a victory (mp3)

Lyrics

backing vox throughout:
lizzy
lizzy and mk
each birthday
each birthday is a victory
but that ain't
it isn't, it wasn't what i meant to say
i mean to say
happy birthday

chris: 
lizzy v and mk eh 
you are presently with the ov in ca 
as your emcee chirs v md 
i recommend we proceed to party 
can i get fifty cc's of hooray i'll need fifty cc's of hooray 
i mean to say happy birthday

emilie:
we wear our shiny boots 
we wear our panty hose 
we wear our birthday suits 
just beneath these clothes 
and underneath all those we wear our flesh and bones 
the sum of which compose our eternal souls 
we grow old we grow old we wear our trousers rolled 
but you know we know what the poet don't he meant to say happy birthday

jenny:
just do the shout and dance 
and then turn around 
then raise your hands 
then put them down 
and then make a face like your grading tests 
and then tear them up 
and now raise your fist 
and just raise your voice 
because we must be heard by the birthday boy and the birthday girl 
we need to say happy birthday 

robert:
we're going to rock it hard just to rock it soft 
we're going to turn it on just to log it off 
we're going to stand it up just to shut it down 
we're going to right it just to turn it inside out 
we're going to look it up to remove any doubt 
we're going to hold it in and then we're going to shout it 
what we mean to say happy birthday
