Congratulations, you made it To the end of the calendar year And everything that ever was and ever will be Will be right now and right here Sometimes it feels like life is full of meaning And like fate had us connected to the stars Sometimes it feels like it's an uphill struggle Sometimes it's like a deck of playing cards Well it don't matter what cards you were dealt with What matters is the way you play the game Don't worry about the last year while you moan about the next And don't you dare forget about today You got one foot in the future, one foot in the past And you're doing the Hokey Pokey Everybody's singing Auld Lang Syne I guess it's New Year's Eve already So count your blessings and face your fears Happy New Year Have you made yourself a resolution? And do you think that you could be a better man? You know you could try harder But you really can't be bothered And you don't think anybody understands You're dressed up so you look just like your rival Hoping you can get the things he's got You base all of your hopes and dreams On your immediate personal needs And still you fucking moan about your lot You got both fingers in your ears And both of your eyes closed And you're missing out on all the action Come on in, jump on in, my friend The water... is freezing But when it hits you it will hide those tears Happy New Year Welcome to the last verse of the album I'd be amazed if anybody got this far Just in case you're listening, a little voice formed from within Says that if the world still turns around Then you should smile at the simple things And understand the pace of things And make sure you find someone you can love And treat it like a game that you get to play again And you can be whoever you want So come and dance, man Don't be so scared Happy New Year
