NYE - lyrics
All the girls are drunk
Maybe so am I
Here beneath the old expressway
I watch them walk on by
All the harbour’s hummin’
They’ll 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
You say I’m movin’ 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 aboard, tonight is New Year’s Eve
Mum and Dad are in the backyard
With Gladys Knight and her Pips
My little brother’s in his bedroom
With nicotine on his fingertips
My big brother’s downtown
Scaring girls and fighting surfies
I said I meet him by the Donny Kebab stand
Next to Colin Murphy’s
I can hear those Westies blow their horns
Desert boots draggin’ off the dunes
Downtown’s got its own sound
Whistlin’ through these ruins
And the streets are full of action
The burnin’ signs are hangin’ high
I just gotta get some traction
Let the lights shoot through my eyes
All the punks are lighting fires
Drinking ‘Long Necks’ in the park
Some girl’s 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
As the last train left the station
Every red light was a blur
Now all the junkie kids are hired
The train driver’s gettin’ tired
The moon is hangin’ low
The rails are rockin’ slow
Shut your eyes and breathe
I don’t know why you feel so sad
It’s the best time that I ever had
Let me hold you tight, let me hold you tight
Tonight is New Year’s Eve
Alright, alright now
Just come on, come on
Who’s gonna miss us?
