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

Fast Horses
