lyrics

we welcome the new year
in the dead winter cold
we celebrate with friends
friends new and old
we wear silly hats, and we blow silly horns
we check each other's sides for last years thorns

oh, will this be my year?
no, this will be my year

drunken resolutions of what to do and what to not
to stop smoking cigarettes
and to quit buying pot
to keep the whiskey closed, and maybe just stick to the beer
and if you haven't the will, well there's always next year

oh, will this be my year?
no, this will be my year
through all of the pain
with it's endless refrain
and the way that she looked
when she said things just weren't the same
no, this will be my year

the old years are over
it's time to go to sleep
there are holes in your soul to sew
and there are promises to try and keep
before we're dead and gone
do you think you'll ever see
that every passing moment
is the youngest that you'll ever be?

oh, will this be my year?
no, this will be my year
through all of the pain
with it's endless refrain
and the way that she looked
when she said things just weren't the same
no, this will be my year

Jim From The Moon Los Angeles, California

At times Jim from the Moon plays acoustic tunes about girls, the devil, and similar distractions. They flow in the vein of Loudon Wainwright III and Neil Young, sung with a voice soaked in years of Irish storytelling. Other times he expels far-out electric rock that is primal and space-ward, with heavy, psychedelic sounds. Both sides are focused, catchy, and ready to be eaten by your ears... ... more
