No more champagne
 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 unlike yesterday
 Now's the time for us to say...

 Happy new year
 Happy new year
 May we all have a vision now and then
 Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
 Happy new 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
 You and I

 Sometimes I see
 How the brave new world arrives
 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 astray
 Keeps on going anyway...

 Happy new year
 Happy new year
 May we all have a vision now and then
 Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
 Happy new 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
 You and I

 Seems to me now
 That the dreams we had before
 Are all dead, nothing more
