I'm sorry about the noise Of all this traffic passing by I'm standing in that phonebox On the corner of North and Pine I just got in from Melbourne On my way to Batemans Bay They've got me hauling brand new cars It keeps me moving, keeps me paid Is Jake in bed I guess he's sleeping sound Do you still sing him lullabies Your favourite prayer sung out loud Don't worry, I won't come around I remember all the rules Whatever you think I am these days I hope I'm not a fool A champagne bottle And an old doorbell Auld lang syne You wore Chanel Another night to remember The last night in December Next week is my school reunion I don't have have much to show I've got that photo of Jake playing In his red scarf up at the snow I suppose we'll all be older We'll all have found someone to need No one any wiser Or maybe that's just me A champagne bottle And an old doorbell Auld lang syne You wore Chanel Another night to remember The last night in December (Well) I'm all out of change This line could drop out anytime Give Jake all of my love Tell him I'm doing just fine I hope this rain eases soon It's like someone's crying on these streets And tell him... No, don't Forget it Let him sleep, let him sleep A champagne bottle And an old doorbell Auld lang syne You wore Chanel Another night to remember The last night in December
