We checked into the hospital New Year's Eve
Nothing to be done about that
Rainbows, daffodils, she's not naive
The 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
At dusk the darkness surrenders to color
As the fireworks streak the sky
And the window gives them the prettiest picture
The useless luck makes her want to cry
The hour turns midnight
The shitty old year spent
Another mom gives her some sparkling wine
And she nearly gives in to the moment
But he'll still be sick in 2009
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
Just as she's thinking of pulling the blind down
A rocket bursts in front of her eyes
The city lit up
London's given a 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
Nothing to be done about that
Rainbows, daffodils, she's not naive
The 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
At dusk the darkness surrenders to color
As the fireworks streak the sky
And the window gives them the prettiest picture
The useless luck makes her want to cry
The hour turns midnight
The shitty old year spent
Another mom gives her some sparkling wine
And she nearly gives in to the moment
But he'll still be sick in 2009
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
Just as she's thinking of pulling the blind down
A rocket bursts in front of her eyes
The city lit up
London's given a 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
