lyrics

Happy New Year Mr Cooper

Yesterday was new year’s day
Another twelve months on the way
Another chance for me to say
All the things I have to say

Your broken promises infect me
To toe the line, so please inject me
This suffering, it’s all we have
This cable channel, it makes me drowsy
This time of night, the action’s lousy
The saddest time of all is now

Woah Woah
Each year it’s the same
It makes me insane
I’ve got to make waves
Do you hear what I’m saying?

Woah Woah
There’s a boss-eyed chimp
To tip me the wink
Inviting me to change

Yesterday was new year’s day
Another twelve months on the way
Another chance for me to say
All the things I have to say
Yesterday was New Year’s Day
Another twelve months gone away
Another chance for me to slay
The demons that I have to slay

Anticipate my resolution
What we need is revolution
Convenient, it almost rhymes
My mind is blank, my body weary
I hope that no one else will hear me
As I move to different times

Chewed up silver from a hospital bed
I crave brown paper for a hole in the head
Fill up on the dark its already been said
Try to open up a vein that’s already been bled
Passing up the chance for the journey ahead
Are you sewing up your dreams with a needle and thread
A coward in a shell with heart full of lead
Are you picking up the pieces of the living dead
Hanging from a wire in a sugarman suit and a
Pumped up syringe just to get at the root of your
Steamboat dreams and a personal shooter
We want to get away like DB Cooper

Yesterday was New year’s day
Another twelve months on the way
Another chance for me to slay
The demons that I have to slay
Yesterday was New Year’s Day
Another twelve months gone away
Scratching out the eyes of a blackened future
We want to get away like DB Cooper
D B Cooper
We want to get away like DB Cooper . . .

SHOTGUN MARMALADE image

SHOTGUN MARMALADE Kingswinford, UK

SHOTGUN MARMALADE: High-energy, rhythmic, dark pop-punk songs payed either as a power trio or solo on an acoustic guitar with plenty of clicks, chops and skanks. Lyrics are humorous, ebullient, ironic and often cryptic, dealing with the darker side of life, usually with foot-stomping accompaniment and an opportunity to ska-pogo for those who so wish. We don't take ourselves too seriously!!. ... more
