Lyrics:
Happy Fucking New Year
©Michael David Martin 2010
Back in the summer of oh-oh nine
Love was blooming like weeds
Across the border/and in all the cracks of the parking lots
The king is dead/long live the queen
God bless the lady on the magazine
And God love the girl who machine-gunned all my dreams
Cup of coffee/cup of tea
I like you and you might like me
If I can learn your language/make you understand my words
Me and you/birds and the bees
Great wall of China and the deep blue sea
I don’t believe in you/I don’t believe/anything you wrote me
I broke all your rules of engagement
I forgot to edit my reply
You don’t like the terms of our endearment
And neither do I
We went skiing under a blue moon
New Years Day/three A. M.
I couldn’t keep up with the likes of you and him
I tried real hard/stay on the track
Me and my good friend Yukon Jack
So easy to fall/so hard to get back up
I broke all your rules of engagement
I forgot to edit my reply
You don’t like the terms of our endearment
And neither do I
