Cat and Koala's Page of "Get Down Stay Down" Songs
Cat says: There was a time in the dim and distant past that only happy songs seemed important. Go on admit it; you love 'You Are My Sunshine' and 'These are a Few of My Favourite Things'. But some days you feel like saying I'm 'Only Happy When It Rains' and that's just fine too. There is always a place for misery … after all, how can you enjoy the highs when you don't enjoy the lows.
Koala says: Feeling depressed? Sick of being told to "get over it"? Feel like wallowing? Wallow with these. Click on the songs to access the lyrics which are at external sites. I do not host any lyrics here!
