Song about several people I knew who either came back from brinks or coursed beyond them. The title is a word play on a happy still photograph and/or someone who is still happy.
We did a lot of versions of this. Must have liked the lyrics as well as the music because it made it all the way to the last gig I did with Red Flower Crescent in 2010.
