LYRICS
(Not again)
This is just wrong wrong wrong wrong
(Do it again)
The party’s done
Done done done
They’ve gone and left themselves for dead
Of course they bloody have
Of course I didn’t mean what I said
I just wanted them to laugh
Well I can’t deal with your games no more
No more more more
(do it again)
Ya killed them all, and shouldn’t have
I think God is coming after me
And I got these bloody hands
Well of course I never mean what I say
I’ve just got a hook to land
You can’t celebrate without champagne
Gonna hold my heart up up out and away
Dance and celebrate with what’s her face
From what’s it called, outta know
Hey
Got the keys
And the cards
In the bars
Gonna make it alright
(Do it again)
Gonna dance like we ain’t using somebody else’s money tonight
And the gods have left themselves for dead
Tripped and killed the boss
Well you know I never mean what I say
but I’m sorry for your loss
I know you too well
To curse the man
Curse the matter at hand
And I know you too well
To explain
I’ve told you again and again
You can’t celebrate without champagne
Gonna hold my heart up up out and away
Dance and celebrate with what’s her face
From what’s it called, outta know
Hey, it’s who you’re meant to be
You can’t celebrate without champagne
Without champagne
I’ve said so many times
I’ll make a drama of it
I’ll lose my mind
Relentlessly we’ve tried
Could this be the turning point for my life
As I’ve said so many times
Could this be the turning point for my life
So restless we have tried
Could this be the turning point for my life
