There weren't enough songs to play on New Year's, so I wrote one
lyrics
THIS YEAR'S GONNA BE OUR YEAR
Hey, hey!
Do you remember way back in January
The way we had it all worked out?
Knew what we wanted, knew what to do to get it,
If there was ever any doubt then we’d say,
“This year’s gonna be our year,
Don’t you know it’s gonna be our year now,
Much better than last year,
Which wasn’t good at all.
This year’s gonna be our year,
Don’t you know it’s gonna be our year now,
Much better than last year,
Which wasn’t good at all.”
And do you remember the way we felt in August
When nothing seemed to go as planned?
We didn’t waver,
We never hesitated
‘Cause it was time to make a stand. And we said,
“This year’s gonna be our year,
Don’t you know it’s gonna be our year now,
Much better than last year,
Which wasn’t good at all.
This year’s gonna be our year,
I can tell it’s gonna be our year now,
Much better than last year,
Which wasn’t good at all.”
Now we’ve reached December,
And it’s been so disappointing
That we’re glad this sorry year’s about to end.
But in just a little while
We’ll be back in January,
And you know we’re gonna start it all again.
And we’ll say,
“This year’s gonna be our year,
Don’t you know it’s gonna be our year now,
Much better than last year
And the year before.
This year’s gonna be our year,
Don’t you know it’s gonna be our year now,
Much better than last year,
Which wasn’t good at all.”

Nick Piunti's third album confirms the idiosyncratic talent of this musician who keeps churning out fantastic power-pop tunes that would rejoice even the most jaded pop-rock fan, whether young or old, if they knew about the existence of 'Beyond the Static'. POPPHIL

Decent homage to what I consider one of the finest English (as in region in south of British Isles, rather than language or mistaken term for entire UK) Folk records of the Twentieth century. Shaggy Maggot
