Call your ex on new year’s They will surely want to hear How you’re doing this year So call your ex on new year’s I called my ex on new year’s Said I wasn’t doing well It was just to the voicemail Guess they were busy somewhere So call your ex on new year’s They will surely want to hear How you’ve been getting on this year Was it any better than last year? If the answer’s maybe no Be sure to let them know Everyone likes to hear from their Ex on new year

Oh, I’m thinking about, thinking about, thinking about writing a song And all I can think about is thinking about writing a song Do you get this, do you get this, anyone? thinking about, thinking about writing a song And all I can think about is thinking about, thinking about, thinking about writing a song Do you get this anyone? ‘Cause I’m thinking about, thinking about, thinking about thinking about writing a song And all I can think about is thinking about, thinking about, thinking about writing a song Do you get this anyone? I’m getting into a bit of a twist Getting into a bit of a jam Getting in to a bit of a ham fist Do you get this anyone? ‘Cause I’m still thinking about, thinking about, thinking about, thinking about, thinking about writing a song But all I keep thinking about is thinking about, thinking about writing a, thinking about writing a, thinking about writing a, all I keep thinking about, I’m thinking about, I’m thinking about, I’m thinking about, I’m thinking about, and I’m thinking about, oh I’m thinking about it, I’m thinking about thinking, thinking about writing a song

This is it, the end of a year Forgive me if I don’t dry my tears This is it - the end of time - except It’s just a human concept so we’re stuck with it I remember back in the past Something that happened to me And now it’s there in my memory And you can have it too If you listen to me No, I thought that might have been someone on the phone who’s calling right now, but I was wrong It’s just the buzzing of an old amplifier that’s listening to this song I was by the Brandenburg Tor when I saw a man in a jacket and a scarf Well, you saw him too, but you’re not part of this song ‘Cause that was just our date, and it didn’t turn out so well Anyway, I really connected with his life, this man Because, you see, he was a poet and a musician Or really, he was just a man with his guitar Playing to a national monument at three o’clock on a Wednesday morning And I thought, well, that’s the job for me Riches, respect, and luxury Yes, I thought - there There’s that’s the job for me “Oh Jesus what am I doing here It’s another fucking new year Screaming to myself Why didn’t I make more concrete plans Why am I here by myself I must really like this vocation of mine I must really like something about it Maybe I do Or maybe there’s nothing else I can see Beyond these bleeding fingers and this noise coming out of my mouth Oh, but if you change the rhythm, if you change the rhythm You can have a really nice time You can dance and you can sing and you can feel so good Feel so good, ‘cos that’s what it’s all about If you feel really good, well that’s what it’s about If you feel so good That’s what it’s all about”

Going crazy in the middle of the night Hold my hand and watch me panic All my life I’ve been panicking but not as much as this Watch me panic in the middle of the night Just like many other times before I’ll panic again That is fucking sure Listen to me find the words To say I’m not ok Oh look, I found them It was just the honesty that led me to be this way All my life, I have wanted to play the guitar
