Missy Higgins - NYE Lyrics
All the girls are drunk
Maybe so am I
Here beneath the old expressway
I watch them walk on by
All the harbour's humming
I just wanna kiss you
Beneath the new year moon
All the junkie 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
All on board
Tonight is new year's eve
Mum and dad are in the backyard
With Gladys Knight and her peeps
My little brother's in his bedroom
With nicotine on his fingertips
My big brother's downtown
Scaring girls and fighting surfies
Said I'd meet him at the döner kebab stand
Next to Colin Murphy
All the junkie 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 on board
Tonight is new year's eve
I can hear the westies blow their horns
Desert boots dragging off the dunes
Downtown's got its own sound
Whistling through these rooms
And the streets are full of action
The burning signs are hanging high
I just gotta get some traction
Let the light shoot through my eyes
All the punks are lighting fires
Drinking long necks in the park
Some girls swimming in the fountain
Singing Buzzcocks in the dark
Your sister always says she's lonely
I stole a new year's kiss from her
And as the last train left the station
Every red light was a blur
All the junkie 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 on board
Tonight is new year's eve
Now all the junkie kids are higher
The train driver's getting tired
Moon is hanging low
Rails are racking 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
Alright! Alright! Aaaaalright!
(Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na)
Just come on
Just coooome on
(Na na na na na, na na na na naaaa)
Who's gonna miss us, who's gonna miss us?
(Na na na na na na na
Na na na na Na na na)
Who's gonna miss us?
(Na na na na na, Na na na, na na na na na)

cudo aż się nóżka sama podrywa
Ja to usłyszałem na Trójce akurat jak drzemałem ale byłem w półśnie. Niesamowite doznanie.
wspaniała pięknie wykonana kocham Cię Missy
Ja!!!!!
chce mi się tańczyć !!!!!!
Swietny kawałek
Kto usłyszał w radiowej Trójce i miał ochotę na jeszcze? :)
Usłyszałam nie raz i przez 2 miesiące nie dawała mi spokoju aż wreszcie ją znalazłam! 😆
słucham non stop....
I Cemetary jest świetna.... też
I ja! Chyba Niedźwiedź przywlókł, nie?
zajefajne :D
Słucham nieustannie... i wciąż mi mało!!! Pozdrowienia dla Tinky
no, no przypominają się czasy pieśni hippies
Amazing! I can't stop listen. This is what i like :)
świetna
I cannot help but love this song! It's got a very retro feel.
I love this song to pieces. Perry Keyes wrote a fantastic song, and Missy's voice makes it so much better :)
Justin Lai Nah, she completely took out the melancholy which was the heart of the song for me.
I love this song...greetings from Peru ;)
I love this song and like to say that missy did a good job on this might do a cover on it in the future
is the entire album gonna be a cover song album?
Yeah. That's why it's called 'Oz'. All covers of Australian songs.
Oh my gosh I love Missy Higgins!
I belong with you, you belong with me, you're my sweetheart.
Incredible! I like it so much!!!
Great !!!
really awesome cover ,
Is it cover? What is the original then?
@Zuzanna Kapler Perry Keyes wrote and performed the song, he's a singer songwriter from Sydney.
She literally never disappoints me.
i'm already obsessed with this album.
This song rocks I have been to this world
hermosa cancion de mi M I S S Y <3
When does the album come out? Im dying here!!
Lovely as Always >3
Is this original song?
No it isn't, it was originally written by Perry Keyes but this is Missy Higgins cover of it!! Her whole album Oz (the one this is from) is full of her covers of songs. It says on her website that it is her re-imagining 15 Australian songs :)
Thanks Nathalie. I was able to find the original song and it's great too.
Where did you find the original song, I couldnt find it!!
@Natalie Tham Hi. Yes, the original Perry Keyes version is available on neither YouTube or Spotify, but I was able to find it on Rdio at: http://www.rdio.com/artist/Perry_Keyes/album/Meter/track/nye/
wow, the original is kinda boring/bad. anyway Missy is amazing, what a change.
so excited to hear this live!!!!!!!! AMAZING
Beautiful♡♡
