Happy Ever After Lyrics

[Backing Vocals]
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Shake my bones and rattle my grave
He's gone diggin' in the bitch again
Back tattoo of a big black snake
Don't go telling me she's just a friend

Hey, lil' mama
Who you gonna poison now
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
Hey, lil' papa
Who you gonna run to now

It's been a long time coming
And this house is burning down
Don't know how I ever loved you
I was blind and running into what's in front of me
If I only knew
That happy ever after wasn't you

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Hurt me, hate me, throw me down
Fifteen years I gave you me
To lie alone in this redneck town
A better lover did I have to be

And hey, lil' mama
What you gonna break up now
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
And hey, lil' papa
Who you gonna run to now

It's been a long time coming
And this house is burning down
Don't know how I ever loved you
I was blind and running into what's in front of me
And I never knew
That happy ever after wasn't you

It's been a long time coming
And this house is burning down
Don't know how I ever loved you
I was blind and running into what's in front of me
If I only knew
That happy ever after wasn't you

(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
Happy ever after wasn't you
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
Happy ever after wasn't you
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
Happy ever after wasn't you

Virginia "Gin" Wigmore is a New Zealand singer/songwriter who was born in Auckland, New Zealand, where she spent most of her childhood. However, while in Argentina at age 16 her father died of cancer. Upon her return to New Zealand, she articulated in song, the pain of losing her father. One of those early penned songs, “Hallelujah”, won the US-based International Songwriting Competition in 2004[2], when she beat 11,000 songwriting aspirants from 77 countries to become the youngest and only unsigned Grand Prize winner in the history of the ISC. "Hallelujah" was also featured in the season 6 finale of One Tree Hill.

Extended Play was Wigmore's first EP. It was produced by Tony Buchen (Blue King Brown, The Whitlams, Macromantics, Kid Confucius) and contains the tracks "Hallelujah", "These Roses", "SOS", "Under My Skin", and "Easy Come Easy Go". Released in 2008, it has peaked at number ten in the New Zealand charts. The EP was certified Gold in New Zealand on June 7, 2009, selling over 7,500 copies.[4]

Extended Play was released in Australia on 2 August 2008 by Island Records. Wigmore was the first artist signed with Island Records, a partner company with Universal Music Group, Australia[3].

The EP features renowned Australian musician John Butler on ukulele on Wigmore's song "SOS".[3]
