New Year's Day
by U2
A nice example of making promises at New Year.
Yeah! Yeah!
All is quiet on New Year's Day
A world in white gets underway.
I want to be with you,
Be with you night and day.
Nothing changes on New Year's Day.
On New Year's Day.
A nice example of making promises at New Year.
Yeah! Yeah!
All is quiet on New Year's Day
A world in white gets underway.
I want to be with you,
Be with you night and day.
Nothing changes on New Year's Day.
On New Year's Day.
David: Hello...... you the new butler?
Bing: Hahaha! Well, it's been a long time since I've been the new anything!
David: What's happened to Hudson?
Bing: I guess he's changing.
David: Yeah, he does that a lot, doesn't he? Uhm... Oh, I'm David Bowie, I live
down the road.
Bing: Oh!
David: Sir Percival let's me use his piano when he's not around. He's not around, is
he?
Bing: I can honestly say I haven't seen him, but come on in! Come on in!
David: But uh...
Bing: Come on in!
David: Are you related to sir Percival?
Bing: Well, distantly...
David: Oh, you're not the poor relation from America, right?
Bing: Ha! Gee... news sure travels fast, doesn't it? I'm Bing.
David: Oh, I'm pleased to meet you. You're the one that sings, right?
Bing: Well, right or wrong, I sing either way.
David: Oh well, I sing too.
Bing: Oh good! What kind of singing?
David: Mostly the contemporary stuff. Do you uh... do you like modern music?
Bing: Oh, I think it's marvellous! Some of it really fine. But tell me, have you ever listened to any of the older fellows?
David: Oh yeah, sure. I like ah... John Lennon and the other one with eh...Harry
Nielson.
Bing: Mmm... you go back that far, huh?
David: Yeah, I'm not as young as I look.
Bing: Haha, none of us is these days!
David: In fact I've got a six year old son. And he really gets excited around the Christmas holiday-thing.
Bing: Do you go in for any of the traditional things in the eh Bowie household, Christmas time?
David: Oh yeah, most of them really. Presents, a tree, decorations, agents sliding down the chimney...
Bing: What??
David: I was just seeing if you were paying attention.
Bing: Haha!
David: Actually, our family do most of the things that other families do. We
sing the same songs.
Bing: Do you?
David: Oh, I even have a go at 'White Christmas'.
Bing: You do, uh!
David: And this one. This is my son's favourite. Do you know this one?
Bing: Oh, I do indeed, it's a lovely thing.
I don't think that it's
Gonna [Going to] rain again today
There's a devil at your side
But an angel on her way.
For Halloween
I was working in the lab late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
For my monster from his slab began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise
In memory of the children of Beslan.
Come away, human child
to the water
Come away, human child
to the water and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand
for the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.
Lalalalalala
Lalalalalala
Lalalalalalala
Now that I've lost everything to you
You say you wanna [want to] start something new
And it's breakin' [breaking] my heart you're leavin' [leaving]
Baby, I'm grievin' [grieving].
But if you wanna leave, take good care,
Hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there.
CHORUS:
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world.
It's hard to get by just upon a smile.
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world,
I'll always remember you like a child, girl.
