happy new year

i like to lose my mind

rip things off the map

hours of minus time

paint my memory black

'cause i'm never gonna be this young

and everything i do one day will just be done

so i don't remember

bringing in the new year

no i don't remember

i'm happy to lie with the sleeping dogs

i'd love to tell the tale

but my memory is

like trying to push an elephant through a sieve

'cause i'm never gonna be this young

and everything i sing one day will just be sung

so i don't remember

bringing in the new year

no i don't remember

i'm happy to lie with the sleeping dogs

i'd love to eulogise but my memory's

well

as grey as a garden snail

and doesn't stick so well

but i'm never gonna be this young

and everything i love one day will just be

never gonna be this young

and everything i love one day will just be loved

so i don't remember

bringing in the new year

no i don't remember

bringing in the new year

oh i don't remember

i'm happy to lie with the sleeping dogs

happy new year

happy new year

happy new year

happy new year
