Happy New Year EP Lyrics
Happy New Year Next Year
Written by Gordon Gano
I’ll have a happy new year next year
‘Cause things ain’t goin good round here
And it seems to be so sad
That it’s January first and I already feel bad
I’ll have a happy new year next year
I’ll have a happy new year next year
I’ve done run out of that Christmas cheer
There’s a times square throng and a toning bell
When the ball dropped down all went to hell
I’ll have a happy new year next year
Oh how I wish that you were not here
To witness this loathing and fear
Darling darling I feel the strain
The years just begun and it’s down the drain
I’ll have a happy new year next year
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
A-HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY
Love Love Love Love Love
Written by Jake Brebes
Step one I did it for fun it was a simple way to start.
Lights out what's it all about I've only got one cheek to turn.
Some do it for the summit la cumbre, some do it for the clime.
Some people know when to settle down me I can't help but wonder what's
on the other side.
I want love love love love love,
love love love love love,
love love love love love all around me all around me.
Step two led to step three led to my heading home in a rush.
Some kid won't admit what he did just say a hey Hail Mary get forgiven
forget about it.
Some say they'll know it when they see it, while others follow it
blind. Some science appliance has made it all calculated it's just a
chemical imbalance in the weaker mind.
I want love love love love love,
love love love love love,
love love love love love all around me all around me.
Oh uh uh uh oh oh oh oh I know something you don't know I said hey,
hey, hey, hey I'm not ever gonna give it away.
Oh oh oh oh oh I know something you don't know I said hey hey hey hey
hey I'm not ever gonna give it away.
Step one I did it for fun it was a simple way to start.
Some doors don't close anymore once you have opened up your heart.
Some people gotta sell it, cause some people wanna pay.
Some people like to stand on a steeple and tell me this is not the way
it's the wrong way I want love love love love love,
love love love love love,
love love love love love all around me all around me.
Love love love love love,
love love love love love,
love love love love love all around me all around me.
Good For/At Nothing
Written by Gordon Gano
I can’t do nothing for anybody anymore thank God
I can’t do nothing for no nobody no no more thank God
I once did something / for some somebody / but what for / ask God
Now I ran for something / any everybody / on the floor / oh God
Tell me what are you good for / are good for nothing
Is that what you’re good for / aren’t you good at something
Yes, that’s what I’m good for / I am good at something
That’s exactly what I’m good for / I am good for nothing
I can’t do nothing for anybody anymore thank God
I can’t do nothing for no nobody no no more thank God
I once did something / for some somebody / but what for / ask God
Now I ran for something / any everybody / on the floor / oh God
I tell you that it’s something and it’s something that is nothing, well
I tell you that it’s nothing and it’s nothing that is something, well
Samuel says…Samuel says… Samuel says…
Fast Horses
Written by Gordon Gano
there’s something that I, I can’t say
something that guys don’t like to hear anyway
it’s not that I don’t love you
and it’s not that I can’t cry, ‘cause I wanna cry I love you when I think
that everything and everyone I love will die
Fast Horses
racing around the track
although the course is slow
win, place, or show
everything in life must go
there’s something John Lennon never wrote
tell me what you hear when you listen closely to the notes
he never sang a beautiful song, not like Frank or what’s his name, Elton John,
some crazy Christian killed him, the poor bloke
but he was running with some fast...
Fast Horses
racing around the track
although the course is slow
win, place, or show
everything in life must go
stand, stand, stand up for me
‘cause I will stand, I will stand up up up up up for you
there’s something I think I lost and I might need to recover
there’s nothing that stand-up guys won’t do for each other
they tore down the bar, and I totaled the car
you can have a drink to futility
you’re not as bad as you think and you are beautiful to me
and you can be like fast
Fast Horses
racing, ripping, running down the track
of course, the course is slow
win, place, or show
even the loser should know
that he was a fast, fast horse
and he was racing, wrecking, and raggin’ round the track
of course, the course is slow
win, place, or show
everything in life must go
everything in life must go
everything in life must go
everything in life must go
everything in life must go
