Verse 
Where do we start, 
Lets start at the beginning,  (Scott)  
After I saw her face,  
It became everything I was thinking 
So what did I do,  
You gave up everything, (Scott)  
It wasn’t meant to be,  
I was chasing something I was missing 
 
Chasing something I never needed 
 
Verse 
So what did I say 
You didn’t say anything (Scott)  
But it's still my fault,  
Because I was blind, doing other things,  
 
Now I’m left with nothing....  
 
Chorus 
I’m leaving now,  
I’m leaving town,  
With nothing but my wallet, my shoes and my frown, 
Now I've found, (Scott)  
I've found a way, (Scott) 
And now, 
To make it through this day (Scott) 
I’m leaving town 
 
Verse 
What happens next,  
What if she apologised, (Scott) 
That ship has sailed, 
Those demons have been exorcised, 
But it's better now,  
A massive weight has lifted,  
Those shackles are gone,  
Yes I am no longer restricted 
 
No she don’t mean nothing  
 
Chorus 
I’m leaving now,  
I start to drown,  
Stay afloat,  
When your world gets turned upside down,  
Now I've found, (Scott)  
I've found a way, (Scott) 
So now,  
To make it through this day (Scott) 
I’m leaving  
And...  
I’ll settle down,  
Now I’m leaving town,  
Leave behind the tears we spilt on the ground, 
Now I've found, (Scott)  
I've found a way, (Scott) 
Somehow 
To make it through this day (Scott) 
I’ve been found 
 
Outro 
I've have found, I've found a way, 
A way to make it through this cloudy day

Verse
There was a time when,
A friend of maybe more,
Confiding,
Not hiding,
Secrets begin to pour

Pre Chorus
The feelings, I’m feeling,
Like I have, this evening,
So hard to, get through to,
Someone who, just met you.

Chorus 
Whyyyyyyyyy, 
Did I try, 
To fill your heart, before your mind,
Now I I I ,
Have run out of time

Verse
Deceived by, my conscience,
As emotions run true, 
I tell you, 
I crave you, 
You tell me our friendships through.  

Pre Chorus 
The feelings, I’m feeling, 
Like I have, this evening, 
So hard to, get through to, 
Someone who, just likes you. 

Chorus 
Whyyyyyyyyy,  
Did I try,  
To fill your heart, before your mind, 
Now I I I , 
Have run out of time

Verse
There was a time when,
I used to glance your way, 
Misreading, 
The signs that, 
Your aurora portrayed. 

Pre Chorus 
The feelings, I’m feeling,  
Like I have, this evening,  
So hard to, get through to,  
Someone who, despises you.   

Chorus  
Whyyyyyyyyy,   
Did I try,   
To fill your heart, before your mind,  
Now I I I , 
Have run out of time

Out Of Time

Verse
You listen to, the promises and lies directed at you,
You digest them, like a virus slowly to work their way through,
The blatant issue, cuts the truth right from under your eyes,
The unclean truth, increases from a murder to a horror site.

Chorus
You chewed it up and spat it out,
Left to die, on your own couch,
In the deceit you were doused,
You ran laughing out of town

Verse
They babble on, making pacts of war to lead upon,
Brainwashed by, the static shape programmable nation,
Sharp lined tongue, spits the words that cut your ears so deep,
Hide your face, disguise the look of fear while you sleep.

Chorus
You chewed it up and spat it out,
Left to die, on your own couch,
In the deceit you were doused,
You ran laughing out of town

Chorus
You chewed it up and spat it out,
Left to die, on your own couch,
In the deceit you were doused,
You ran laughing out of town

Back in July 2018, we recorded our new single "Safe Place" with the brilliant Rob Jones at Manor Studio, Braintree, Essex. 

Safe Place which some of you may have heard at some of our gigs, focuses on a massive issue plaguing a huge proportion of the population and some people very close to the band, Mental Health. 

We will be releasing the single with all money raised going to mental health charity CALM (The CALMzone). Every donation and sale will help them in their quest to raise awareness and provide support to those affected by Mental Health.

Safe Place

Mr Happy Chainsaw are a 4 Piece Poppy Punk Rock band from Essex

After reforming early in 2017, Mr Happy Chainsaw recorded and released single “Standing There” and EP “It’s Not My Ball”. "Standing There” gained local, national and international airplay, earnt the band the opportunity to appear on various radio shows in both a live performance and interview capacity, saw the band booked to perform at various festivals and regular national dates. “Standing There” wasn't the only track on the EP to receive exposure, some tracks were play listed on local and national radio stations, “Charlie” received airtime on BBC Introducing with the official music video receiving over 20,000 combined plays between Facebook and YouTube in it's first 2 weeks.

After 2017’s successful return Mr Happy Chainsaw were temporarily side-lined for spells of 2018 due to guitarist Scott undergoing back surgery. 

January 2019 saw the band release their new single “Safe Place” in aid of Mental Health Charity CALM which not only gained local and national radio play but also raised over £1200 for CALM in it’s first week.

Before reforming in 2017 and before our hiatus in 2009 we took our catchy rock music all over the UK playing with some of the best UK bands of old and new with likes of The Vibrators, UK Subs, Madness, TAT, New Town Kings, My Awesome Compilation, Koopa, We Are The Ocean, INME and Enter Shikari.

Still not sold…… well let me put it this way. If Mr Happy Chainsaw were a cocktail you’d have to take a pinch of Blink 182, Green Day and Alkaline Trio, add a splash of Foo Fighters, a hint of Barry Manilow and Elton John and top it all off with a generous serving of Essex and then you’d have a Mr Happy Chainsaw.
