  Verse 1

  Boxes stacked up to the roof Dusty corners, tangled proof Fairy lights around the mower Nobody keeps junk like you, though

  Pre-chorus

  Every bit of mess you've made Tells us something, tells us plain We're about to shout it out

  Chorus

  Clive, you make us feel alive Give us reasons, give us drive Nobody else could ever thrive The way you do, the way you strive

  Verse 2

  Behind the door where no one looks You keep your treasures, keep your books We never know just what we'll find But we know you, and we don't mind

  Chorus

  Clive, you make us feel alive Give us reasons, give us drive Nobody else could ever thrive The way you do, the way you strive

  Bridge

  Switch the lights on, watch them glow Every year we love you more, you know So blow the candles, make a wish

  Chorus

  Clive, you make us feel alive Give us reasons, give us drive Nobody else could ever thrive The way you do, the way you strive

  Outro

  Somewhere out there, a mower waits Lit up bright for one more birthday

  Verse 1

  You left the door on the latch again waiting up while the morning slipped by milk bottles rattle where you have been and somehow the whole street feels alive

  Pre-chorus

  Paper's blowing loose round the step the kettle's on, the kitchen's warm something in the air won't let us settle

  Chorus

  Clive, you set the whole morning humming light comes up and finds you first Clive, the kind that makes a room glad one more year and nothing's worse

  Verse 2

  You still whistle walking up the path doorstep cold but you don't seem to mind every year you turn up just the same glad and grinning, easy to find

  Chorus

  Clive, you set the whole morning humming light comes up and finds you first Clive, the kind that makes a room glad one more year and nothing's worse

  Bridge

  Raise your glass, the kettle's boiled let the wrapping catch the wind here's to you, however old you are here's to another one to begin

  Chorus

  Clive, you set the whole morning humming light comes up and finds you first Clive, the kind that makes a room glad one more year and nothing's worse

  Outro

  The bottles still rattle on the step glad you're the one who's standing there

  Verse 1

  Chairs scraping cross the old waxed floor Somebody flings open the door Cold hall, but nobody's shivering Because we heard that you'd arrive

  Chorus

  Clive, the whole room comes alive Every candle wants to jive You make the dullest hall feel golden Happy birthday, Clive, oh Clive

  Verse 2

  Folding chairs in crooked rows Somebody's already stepped on your toes We don't care, we're all still grinning Because you're the reason we arrive

  Pre-chorus

  Hear that scrape, that metal cheer Feel the draught, but you're still here Something's building, get ready to strive

  Chorus

  Clive, the whole room comes alive Every candle wants to jive You make the dullest hall feel golden Happy birthday, Clive, oh Clive

  Bridge

  Blow out the candles, make it loud We came here just to make you proud Every year we're still amazed How one name lights a room ablaze

  Chorus

  Clive, the whole room comes alive Every candle wants to jive You make the dullest hall feel golden Happy birthday, Clive, oh Clive

  Outro

  Chairs scrape again as we all rise We're glad you're here, we're glad you're Clive
