Trivia

 * Joe Goddard (vocals, synthesizer and percussion) told The NME February 6, 2010: "That song we did in a lot of different ways - we tried a version that was influenced by The Velvet Underground. We've got MP3s of it somewhere. We thought it could be a good one to start an album with, like, the curtains opening to reveal something."

Musician Roles

 * Drums – Leo Taylor
 * Percussion [Steel Pans] – Fimber Bravo

Lyrics

 * My friend once told me something so right
 * He said to be careful of thieves in the night
 * Baby i've lost you here in the crowd
 * Open your arms I want to be found
 * Maybe I'm calling your name in the night
 * Open our eyes we'll feel with our sight


 * A want is a lack but also desire
 * A need can be nothing but should be held higher
 * A need is a want wearing disguise
 * It can be confused if fuelled by desire
 * Baby I'm calling your name in the night
 * No reason with need look into my eyes


 * Happiness is what we all want
 * May it be that we don't always want
 * Happiness is what we all want
 * May it be that we don't all want


 * My friend once told me something so right
 * he said to be careful of bugs that don't bite
 * My friend once told me something so right
 * He said to be careful of thieves in the night


 * Happiness is what we all want
 * May it be that we don't always want
 * Happiness is what we all want
 * May it be that we don't always want
 * Happiness is what we all want
 * May it be that we don't always want
 * Happiness is what we all want
 * May it be that we don't all want
 * Happiness is what we all want
 * May it be that we don't always want
 * Happiness is what we all want
 * May it be that we don't always want
