Happy Ending

George is a hipster,
and so is Marge, who’s his sister.
Will they find some clothes to wear?
I don’t know.

George drives a blue car,
but he drives to a place which is too far.
Will he find his way back home?
I don’t know.

(chorus:)
For a happy ending,
you should see a movie,
and hope that dreams can still come true.
I sure hope so.

I have a yearning
to increase how much I’m earning.
Will I make the move to Easy Street?
Who can say?

When you’re in the mood
to eat some tasty food
and you go down to the store,
will you find the perfect dish?
Who can say?

(chorus)
’cause even I can see
that reading the newspaper isn’t an end in itself.

Sometimes I feel uncertain
about that final curtain.
Will it fall with grace, or with a punch in the face?
I don’t know.

George is a hipster,
and so is Marge, who’s his sister.
Will they find some clothes to wear?
I don’t care.

(chorus:)
’cause even I can see
that reading the newspaper isn’t an end in itself.

about

David Garland New York, New York

Composer/singer/multi-instrumentalist David Garland has been steadily shaping songs in new ways since 1980.

"Like many great songwriters before him, Garland pushes the limits of acceptable harmony and dissonance, yet never at the expense of beauty. If it's not possible for popular music to reach the heights of the great classical masters, it seems no one has told David Garland."
--Sean Lennon
