What was 05 for?
What defines it as a special one?
Was it particularly long?
Was it especially fun?

What was 05 for?
Did it differ much from 03?
Were the things that happened really
All that extraordinary?

This year was just like any other year
The war was just the same old stupid war
This beer is just like any other beer
It's the same as last year and the year before

So let's move on
You can't lament these fickle days
Just close your eyes and drink champagne
And toss this washed-up year away

A year is like a library book
It's only ours on loan
It's just another year flown
It's just another year blown

What was 05 for?
Let's look at it realistically
Its only a__et's recency
What did it really mean to me?

I guess I had a pretty good year
I got my hair permed straight and it looks quite nice
And it only cost 200 bucks
Which is less than I've seen it advertised

And I've been sticking to low glycemic foods
In a desperate attempt to try and stay in shape
And it's also been good for my moods
So I don't snap at Sarah when she's running late

These things may seem petty on a global scale
Just look at what Pakistan's been going through
But my roof started leaking in the other days hail
So I've suffered structural damage too

And let's be realistic
I'm not trying to be a w___er
But it only took us a month
And we'd forgotten about Sri Lanka

If there's one thing we can count on
It's our comforting amnesia
We suddenly remember football
And forget about Indonesia

Cos the tsunami of immediacy
Will wash away the flood of grief
And reveal a layer of naive
Optimism underneath

So let's move on
You can't lament these fickle days
Just close your eyes and drink champagne
And toss this washed-up year away

A year is like a guinea pig
It's cuter when it's gone
It's just another year flown
It's just another year blown

And there'll always be another
But not for my grandmother
For her there won't be any more
For 05 was the last year for my nanna

What was 05 for?
It's time we all just moved along?
So my paternal granny's gone
I've still got another one

What was 05 for?
Was it just another year blown?
Is it just me or has this year flown?
You turn your back and the d___ things gone
Time flies when you're having fun

So let's move on
You can't lament these fickle days
Just close your eyes and drink champagne
And toss this washed-up year away

A year is like an elephant
You're not allowed to take it home
It's just another year flown
It's just another year blown
Should all of us be going home?
Is it time that I got going?

Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to yore?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
Do we know what these words mean anymore?

For auld lang syne my dear
For auld lang syne
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
It's just a matter of time
