NYE (originally by Perry Keyes)All the girls are drunkMaybe so am I Here beneath the old expressway I watch them walk on by All the harbour's humming Gonna light the crackers soon I just wanna kiss you Beneath the new year moon All the junkie kids are tired Every single taxi's hired Say I'm moving slow That you wanna go But I don't wanna leave There's no need to feel so bad Growing up can make you sad You won't be ignored All on board Tonight is new year's eve Mum and dad are in the backyard With Gladys Knight and her peeps My little brother's in his bedroom With nicotine on his fingertips My big brother's downtown Scaring girls and fighting surfies Said I'd meet him at the döner kebab stand Next to Colin Murphy All the junkie kids are tired Every single taxi's hired Say I'm moving slow That you wanna go But I don't wanna leave There's no need to feel so bad Growing up can make you sad You won't be ignored All on board Tonight is new year's eve I can hear the westies blow their horns Desert boots dragging off the dunes Downtown's got its own sound Whistling through these rooms And the streets are full of action The burning signs are hanging high I just gotta get some traction Let the light shoot through my eyes All the punks are lighting fires Drinking long necks in the park Some girls swimming in the fountain Singing Buzzcocks in the dark Your sister always says she's lonely I stole a new year's kiss from her And as the last train left the station Every red light was a blur All the junkie kids are tired Every single taxi's hired Say I'm moving slow That you wanna go But I don't wanna leave There's no need to feel so bad Growing up can make you sad You won't be ignored All on board Tonight is new year's eve Now all the junkie kids are higher The train driver's getting tired Moon is hanging low Rails are racking slow Shut your eyes and breathe I don't know why you're feeling sad It's the best time that I ever had Oh let me hold you tight, Let me hold you tight, Tonight is new year's eve Alright! Alright! Aaaaalright! (Na na na na na na na Na na na na na na na) Just come on Just coooome on (Na na na na na, na na na na naaaa) Who's gonna miss us, who's gonna miss us? (Na na na na na na na Na na na na Na na na) Who's gonna miss us? (Na na na na na, Na na na, na na na na na) |
