No more champagne
And the fireworks are through
Here we are, me and you

Feeling lost and feeling blue
It's the end of the party
And the morning seems so grey

So unlike yesterday
Now's the time for us to say...


Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then

Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year

May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I


Sometimes I see
How the brave new world arrives

And I see how it thrives
In the ashes of our lives
Oh yes, man is a fool

And he thinks he'll be okay
Dragging on, feet of clay
Never knowing he's astray

Keeps on going anyway...

Happy new year

Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try

If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I


Seems to me now
That the dreams we had before
Are all dead, nothing more

Than confetti on the floor
It's the end of a decade
In another ten years time

Who can say what we'll find
What lies waiting down the line
In the end of eighty-nine...


Happy new year
Happy new year

May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year

Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die

You and I
