We checked into the hospital New Year's Eve Nothing to be done about that Rainbows, daffodils, she's not naive Symbolism's all crap There's a big picture window in the room on the ward With a view over Parliament Hill But the view offers more joy than they can afford When there's this much pain to kill You know what hope is Hope is a bastard Hope is a liar, a cheat and a tease Hope comes near you, kick its backside Got no place in days like these The dust, the darkness surrenders to color As the fireworks streak the sky And their window gives them the prettiest picture Their useless luck makes her want to cry Then it turns midnight The shitty whole year's spent Another mom deserves some sparkling wine And she nearly gives into the moment But he'll still be sick in two-thousand and nine You know what hope is Hope is a bastard Hope is a liar, a cheat and a tease Hope comes near you, kick its backside Got no place in days like these And just as she's thinking Of pulling the blind down A rocket bursts in front of her eyes The city lit up, London's givin' her bright crown She tries and fails to stop Spirits rise You know what hope is Hope is a bastard Hope is a liar, a cheat and a tease Hope comes near you, kick its backside Got no place in days like these You know what hope is Hope is a bastard Hope is a liar, a cheat and a tease Hope comes near you, kick its backside Got no place in days like these In days like these
