'HAPPY NEW YEAR'
by ABBA
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 ...
(Chorus)
Happy New Year
Happy New Year ...
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 year's 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.

ON AN ERA IN DANGER
(A Whingeing-Old-MP Reunion)
No more campaigns,
Now the lying work is through,
Here we are me and you,
Labour red and Tory blue;
It's the end of the Party
Well, at least for you and I;
Now our life has gone by,
Let's at least see eye to eye ...
Happy New Year
Heavy With Fear
May we fulfil one hope, one destiny,
Of a world where preaching hate is history;
Happy New Year
Happy New Fear
May we all have an inner honesty,
If we don't we may as well all be MPs,
You and me.
Oh, how I've prayed,
A new Savior will arrive,
If the world's to survive,
If mankind's to stay alive;
Yet the world's run by fools,
Thinking things are, yeah, ok,
Hand in hand, day by day,
One by one, they lose the way;
No, don't believe a word they say!
(Chorus)
Happy New Year
Happy New Fear ...
Oh, now I see,
Wooden promises we made,
Were a game, a charade,
Winning votes and getting laid;
It's the end of an era,
And the stakes are now much higher,
Heaven knows why man's ire,
Needs to see the world on fire,
What a good thing we retired!
Happy New Year
Heavy With Fear
May we fulfil one hope, one destiny,
Of a world where preaching hate is history;
Happy New Year
Happy New Fear
May we all have an inner honesty,
If we don't we might as well all be MPs,
You and me.
