lyrics

Auld Lang Syne sung in time for the New Years Baby
Start again right after midnight before we all got crazy
Out with the old and in with the new, toasted like the Gatsby
It all looked nice on the black and white before we lost it on the big screen

For all we lack
There's no turning back
It could all turn black
and we're all just trapped like rats
stick with me, we'll make a rat pack

Holding time is like a champagne sip, it never seeps the savory
you try again to contain it but you know you just can't save me
out with the old and in with the new toasted like the last time
it all feels like it's been done before, follow me for the changes

For all we lack
There's no turning back
It could all turn black
and we're all just trapped like rats
stick with me, we'll make a rat pack

If we're all just rats
let's thrash in trash
If we're all just rats
let's thrash in trash
If we're all just rats
let's thrash in trash
If we're all just rats
let's thrash in trash

Another Rat to the Pack
Another Rat to the Pack
Another Rat to the Pack
Another Rat to the Pack

What best sums up the Hempsteadys is lyric is a lyric from their concept album El Amor de los Muertos; "what really matters in this world is here tonight". On The Undercard, their latest release, proves they are much more than just a ska band. ... more
