1. No more cham- pagne 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 un- like yester- day, now's the time for us to say
Chorus: Happy new year, happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend 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 I (You and I)
2. Sometimes I see, how the brave new world ar- rives
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 a tray
Keeps on going any way
3. Seems to me now, that the dreams we had be- fore
Are all dead, nothing more, than con- fetti 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 eighty- nine
