Buddha (BBC session) Songtext
von The Auteurs

Happy birthday Buddha
Happy hunting, happy hiding
Happy New Year

I hope you get yourself together
I hope your absence is made clear

Happy birthday Buddha

I first learned
There was a value
In a little subterfuge

From some old
Peeping Tom or another
Woman′s refuge


Came in contact with a Svengali
He was housebound and unwell
Choked on a whale bone in a Cantonese restaurant
His nervous system
Had broken down
Buddha, Buddha, Buddha
Buddha, Buddha, Buddha
Buddha, Buddha, Buddha
Happy birthday Buddha

Happy birthday Buddha
Happy hunting, happy hiding
Happy New Year

I hope you get yourself together
I hope your absence is made clear

Happy birthday Buddha
Happy birthday
