Kele Okereke The New Year Party Lyrics

Hugo asked a loaded question
Then got salty with Ruth
But he's going bald, it's the truth

Kat and Nova are going steady
Arriving tardy, hand in hand
So, poor Erica locked herself in the bathroom

[Chorus 1]
And although we speak at midnight
There's a quiver in your voice
Let's make a pact to never spend
The new year apart

Freddie came and claims he's sober
Taking one day at a time
Just keep him away from the wine Jude got blind drunk and made a pass at
Renee's husband, who declined
Then told that story about doing time in Thailand

[Chorus 2]
And although we speak at midnight
There's a quiver in your voice
That I sense through the receiver
As the countdown reaches twelve
That you're worried the scent has faded
From the pillows we both share
Let's make a pact to never spend
The new year apart
