Happy New Year

Happy New Year - Camera Obscura

Did the ironing in a cowboy hat

Felt as fresh as the paint in this new flat

I will never tell you what to do

Have ambition simply to see things through

Did 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'll set off the best of friends

I know

Where I stand

I know

Just where I stand

I don't need you to hold my hand

Now I'm trying to get along with you

And I asked myself

What am I gonna do

I'm coming round to take a stand

Gonna put us together with glue or an elastic band

I know

Where I stand

I know

Just where I stand

I don't need you to hold my hand

Oh I'm softer than my face would suggest

And times like these I'm at my lowest ebb

But now I can confide in you

If I cry to set the mood

Oh please could you cry too

Happy New Year

You are my only vice

What if we compromised

I am open

Happy New Year

You are my only vice

What if we compromised

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 have to

Yes I do

Do you want to

So do you

Do you have to
