Hogmanay Heroes



And we’ll show you a good time if it’s carnage that you want
It’s a lairy night before you if you are a Dublin debutante
If you stick right by my side, we will take you for a ride
No time for questions now, it’s Hogmanay and this is how

Young lad Gavin Doherty’s gone missing on the bridge
We’ve eleven jars of liquor left and that’s just in the fridge
Passion’s in the eyes, and our Rosa says she feels it going wild
Let’s go wild

As we take another swig from the glasses in our hands
It’s complete obliteration, that’s exactly what we planned for you
That’s another failure through, there’s only one thing left to do
Come on, come on, yeah, oh, yeah

Tonight we’re gonna have a party
And everybody’s gonna come along
Yeah, tonight we’re gonna party
And wonder where that year has gone

Paul McGahan is the man
With the greatest plan of action
Shut the door, hit the floor, don’t let daylight be distraction
Light another cigarette, don’t just be a silhouette
Everything’s for taking, yeah, it simply hasn’t happened yet

Let’s go into the city as we delve into disgrace
We can dance like Brian Kelly when we find another place
Don’t waste time in holding back, now’s the time to lose it
Go wild, let’s go wild

And let’s get lost in time as they’re counting down the clock
They’ll since Auld Lang Sine as we dance around the Dock
Let common sense ignore us, there’s a whole New Year before us
Come on, come on, yeah, oh, yeah

Tonight we’re gonna have a party
And everybody’s gonna come along
Yeah, tonight we’re gonna party
And wonder where that year has gone

Tonight we’re gonna have a party
And everybody’s gonna come along
Yeah, tonight we’re gonna party
And wonder where that year has gone

And that’s another year that we’re throwing to the past
And it seems I’ve blinked ‘cause it’s going by so fast
I will show you what you want, my midnight Mademoiselle
Hogmanay’s upon and we’re gonna raise some hell

Twelve o’clock approaching as the drinks go down
I will hold you up till there’s no-one else around
Passion’s in the eyes and I can feel it going wild
Let’s go wild, let’s go wild

Tonight we’re gonna have a party
And everybody’s gonna come along
Yeah, tonight we’re gonna party
And wonder where that year has gone

Tonight we’re gonna have a party
And everybody’s gonna come along
Yeah, tonight we’re gonna party
And wonder where that year has gone
