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 our time 



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
