Text: Prefab Sprout. Carnival 2000.

Tonight let's raise a glass my friend
To those who couldn't make it
A century has shut it's eyes
And who are we to wake it?

Cool music we play, dance an' say
Carnival 2000
Lives come an' go but life no denial
Is always in style
Welcome to
Carnival 2000
Loves come an' go but love above all
Is belle of the ball

We ask for any wrong we've done
The years ahead forgive us
We ask for any good we've done
That all of it outlive us

Cool music we play, dance an' say
Carnival 2000
Lives come an' go but life no denial
Is always in style
Welcome to
Carnival 2000
Loves come an' go but love above all
Is belle of the ball

Welcome to
Carnival 2000
Lives come an' go but life no denial
Is always in style
Welcome to
Carnival 2000
Loves come an' go but love above all
Is belle of the ball
