Happy New Year Lyrics - Singles - 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 set off the best of friends 

I know where I stand 

I don't need you to hold my hand 

Well, I've tried to get along with you 

I have asked myself "What are we gonna do?" 

I'm coming round to take a stand 

Going to put us together with glue or an elastic band 

I know where I stand 

I don't need you to hold my hand 

I am softer than my face would suggest 

At times like these I'm at my lowest ebb 

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 

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? (So do you) 

Do you want to? (So do you)
