  Verse 1

  One candle waiting on a plastic stand Nobody's told it what tonight's about We brought you here without a marching band But watch the whole room start to shout

  Chorus

  Arthur, get up, this one's for you We've been counting down since starter Nobody lights a room like you do Happy birthday, Arthur, shine harder

  Verse 2

  You always laugh before the punchline lands You make the quiet corners feel alright Every year you somehow understand How to turn a small thing into light

  Pre-chorus

  So strike the match, don't let it wait Feel the whole floor start to sway We're not asking you, we're saying

  Chorus

  Arthur, get up, this one's for you We've been counting down since starter Nobody lights a room like you do Happy birthday, Arthur, shine harder

  Bridge

  You never asked to be the reason We stood around and clapped this hard But here we are, another season Glad you're the one we're gathered for

  Chorus

  Arthur, get up, this one's for you We've been counting down since starter Nobody lights a room like you do Happy birthday, Arthur, shine harder

  Outro

  That one small candle finally caught You're worth so much more than we've got

  Verse 1

  Rain came down at the fairground Sugar spinning round and round Nobody thought to run for cover Not while you were still around

  Pre-chorus

  You turn a soaking night Into something worth the while We're all stood here grinning Waiting on that smile

  Chorus

  Arthur, Arthur, light the spark Sweetness spinning in the dark Nothing wet can dim your shine Nobody smarter, nobody like Arthur

  Verse 2

  You hand out the pink clouds Like the weather don't apply We're laughing with our collars up You never ask us why

  Pre-chorus

  You turn a soaking night Into something worth the while We're all stood here grinning Waiting on that smile

  Chorus

  Arthur, Arthur, light the spark Sweetness spinning in the dark Nothing wet can dim your shine Nobody smarter, nobody like Arthur

  Bridge

  Let the whole machine keep turning Let the rain keep coming down We came here for the sweetness And we found it, safe and sound

  Chorus

  Arthur, Arthur, light the spark Sweetness spinning in the dark Nothing wet can dim your shine Nobody smarter, nobody like Arthur

  Outro

  Rain or shine, we're staying Sweet as ever, Arthur, stay

  Verse 1

  Wet towel thrown across a chair Poolside lights still humming there You stayed to watch the last one dive You keep this whole night feeling alive

  Pre-chorus

  Everybody's counting down the years But we're just glad that you are here So let the music find the beat

  Chorus

  Arthur, turn the volume up tonight Nobody shines as steady or as bright Arthur, we came here just for you There's no one we would rather bring into view

  Verse 2

  Chlorine air and neon blue Every chair still holds on to you You make the ordinary glow You're the reason we don't want to go

  Bridge

  Another candle, another spark You light this whole place like the dark Never needed to try too hard

  Chorus

  Arthur, turn the volume up tonight Nobody shines as steady or as bright Arthur, we came here just for you There's no one we would rather bring into view

  Outro

  Leave the towel out under the light We'll be right here, holding onto tonight
