Happy New Year

Did the ironing in a cowboy hat
Felt as fresh as the paint in this new flat
And I will never tell you what to do
Have ambition simply to see things throughDid you know I could be a lot of fun?
I'm aware that friendship can die young
As the glow from the street light bled
Down the Langlands Road we set off the best of friendsI know where I stand
(I know just where I stand)
I don't need you to hold my handWell, I've tried to get along with you
And I have asked myself, "What are we gonna do?"
I'm coming round to take a stand
Going to put us together with glue or an elastic bandI know where I stand
(I know just where I stand)
I don't need you to hold my handI am softer than my face would suggest
At times like these I'm at my lowest ebb
And now I can confide in you
If I cry to set the mood, oh please could you cry tooHappy new year, you are my only vice
What if we compromised? I am openHappy new year, you are my only vice
(Do you have to wear a frown like that?)
(You could have hit me with a baseball bat)
What if we compromised? I am open
(Do you have to wear a frown like that?)
(You could have hit me with a baseball bat)Do you want to?
(Yes I do)
Do you want to?
(Yes I do)
Do you want to?
(So do you)
Do you have to?
