Hogmanay Lyrics

If I keep this up, I will be dead before I'm born

Something's gotta change for change to come

Burn out all the contents pages, the chapters keep me warm

Keep the pretty pictures out the sun

'Til it's done

Rubbing out the names only solves it for the wall

I've still got the taste under my tongue

Snuff it out again and watch the Redbreast make the call

Nature knew this leaf, but now it's done

What use is a ring if it is stinging in my ears?

What use is a call the train drowns out?

What use is a question that only strangers hear?

What use is the door you're walking out?

Well, trickle down my neck

Liquid self respect

Just a sip until my stomach's still

It's good to see you, friend

I hope that luck comes with the next

Just walk a mile until there's boots to fill

If I keep this up, I will be onward in my mind

My legs are just as restless now you're gone

Well, thank you for the patience, but I won't take up your time

Can't do moving out without moving on

So I'm gone

Happy new year, happy new you

I hope you're keeping well

Keeping up appearances wears thin

I'm waiting for the lang syne to be auld, babe

Can't you tell?

Acquaintances forgot find their way in

And start again
