Lyrics Missy Higgins

Missy Higgins

NYE

All the girls are drunk

Maybe so am I

Here beneath the old express way

I watch 'em walk on by

All the harbour's humming

Gonna light the crackers soon

I just wanna kiss you

Beneath the New Year moon

All the junky kids are tired

Every single Taxi's hired

Say I'm moving slow, that you wanna go

But I don't wanna leave

There's no need to feel so bad

Growing up can make you sad

You won't be ignored

All aboard! Tonight is New Year's Eve!

Mum and dad are in the back yard

With Gladys Knight and her Pips

My little brother's in his bedroom

With nicotine on his fingertips

MY BIG BROTHER'S downtown!

Scarin' girls and fightin' Surfies

Said I'd meet him by the Danica Bath stand

Next to Colin Murphy's

All the junky kids are tired

Every single Taxi's hired

Say I'm moving slow, that you wanna go

But I don't wanna leave

There's no need to feel so bad

Growing up can make you sad

You won't be ignored

All aboard! Tonight is New Year's Eve!

I can hear those Westies blow their horns

Desert dust dragging off the dunes

Downtown's got it's own sound

Whistlin' through these rooms

And the streets are full of action

The burning sands are hangin' high

I just gotta get some traction

Let the light shoot through my eyes

All the punks are lightin' fires

Drinkin' long necks in the park

Some girl is swimmin' in the fountain

Singing Buzzcocks in the dark

Your sister always says she's lonely

I stole a New Year's kiss from her

As the last train left the station

Every red light was a blur

All the junky kids are tired

Every single Taxi's hired

Say I'm moving slow, that you wanna go

But I don't wanna leave

There's no need to feel so bad

Growing up can make you sad

You won't be ignored

All aboard! Tonight is New Year's Eve!

Now all the junky kids are high

The train driver's gettin' tired

Moon is hangin' low, rays are rocking slow

Shut your eyes and breathe

I don't know why you're feeling sad

It's the best time that I ever had

Oh, let me hold you tight

Let me hold you tight Tonight is New Year's Eve

All right, All right, All right!

Na na na na Na na Na!

Na na na na Na na Na!

Just come on!

Na na na na na, Na-na Na Na-na na Na-a Na!
