Nicky Byrne talks about Brian and Vogue Williams


The singer made the comments about his ex bandmate, who is currently enjoying the early flushes of romance with top Irish model Vogue Williams.
Dad-of-two Nicky (32) explained how he doesn’t know the Howth born model personally, but says that he is happy for his Australia-based friend on his newfound love.
Nicky went on to reveal his belief that Artane native Brian will collaborate with Westlife again.
He insists however that the group have made no plans for a reunion.
“I don’t know Vogue whatsoever but I’m just happy if he’s happy,” Nicky told the Diary.
“He’s a nice fella, I’ve always said it since the day he left.
“Brian’s not the worst in the world. He has a heart of gold. He’s probably had a bit of a rough time of it down the years.
“The way it is with Brian and the band is that it was one of those things where you’d never say never but there is no plan. I can categorically say that. I like him and who knows.
“People love a bit of nostalgia.
“I think there will be a time in Westlife’s life when we do sing with him again. When that is, whether it’s next week or five years down the line I really don’t know,” he added.
Nicky also insists that he is in the dark when it comes to the line-up for RTE’s new talent series, The Voice, for which his name has been mentioned as a potential judge.
The Flying Without Wings singer says he would be interested in hearing more about the show but claims he has not spoken to anyone to date.
According to the down to earth singer: “I don’t know about The Voice at all. I keep hearing my name being mentioned around as well but no, not that I know of.
“I don’t know, I mean, I’d certainly be interested in being listed but you know I think they put everyone’s name in the hat, don’t they?
“TV is something I’ve always enjoyed. Certainly I’ve presented Childline over the years. I’m always doing TV with Westlife being interviewed. I’ve always enjoyed the buzz of TV so definitely down the road.
“I’m still concentrating on Westlife at the moment, we’ve another album to produce and lots of tours.
“I do think The Voice is a great concept, I mean I’ve seen the American version. I think it will be great for Ireland definitely,” he added.
Nicky and his bandmates took a month off work over the summer, but are soon due to hit the road once more to continue their tour across South Africa and South East Asia.
The chatty popstar was speaking last night at the world premiere of Peter Pan at the Grand Canal Theatre.
Nicky was joined at the star-studded event by his wife Georgina, the couple’s twin sons Rocco and Jay (4) and his mother-in-law Miriam Ahern.

'That's How Life Goes' Lyrics


Spent my life inventing
Old school happy endings
When all I need is magic
Instead the truth appears
I guess that's how life goes
It sucks but that's how life goes

What have I become?
All work and no fun
When all I need is laughter
I'm wiping someone's tears
I guess that's how life goes
It sucks but that's how life goes

Forget of your plans
'Cause they are out of our hands

Wasted all those years
Hiding from my fears
And now I've learned to face it
You can't fight Mother Nature
Yeah, 'cause that's how life goes
Yeah it sucks, but that's how life goes

I accept that's how life goes
What's next nobody knows
Nobody knows

'Come Party' Lyrics


Sometimes a short-term plan is enough,
Life has a way of messing things up
Living by someone else's rules is tough

When I like getting down, down
Hanging with the crowd, crowd
Play my music loud, loud
Like to live it loud, loud
Nothing gets me down, down
When I'm with my crowd, crowd
We like living loud, loud
We like getting loud, loud, loud, loud

So put your hands in the air
If you ain't looking for love
If you're just here to have fun
It's a party
Show the world you don't care
Let them all stop and stare
Make them wish they were here
Use your body

If you feelin' (?)
And you're lovin' the beat, beat
Go get yourself a drink, drink
And come party with me, me
Come party with me
Get yourself (?)
Come party with me, yeah

So put your hands in the air
If you ain't looking for love
If you're just here to have fun
It's a party

Everybody come party with me
Come party with me
Come party with me
Yeah

I came here to find myself tonight
Got lost in the beat, got lost in the vibe

I like getting down, down
Hanging with the crowd, crowd
Play my music loud, loud
Like to live it loud, loud
Nothing gets me down, down
When I'm with my crowd, crowd
We like living loud, loud
We like getting loud, loud, loud, loud

So put your hands in the air
If you ain't looking for love
If you're just here to have fun
It's a party
Show the world you don't care
Let them all stop and stare
Make them wish they were here
Use your body

If you feelin' (?)
And you're lovin' the beat, beat
Go get yourself a drink, drink
And come party with me, me
Come party with me
Get yourself (?)
Come party with me, yeah

So put your hands in the air
If you ain't looking for love
If you're just here to have fun
It's a party

Let's start this party off right
I ain't looking for love
I just wanna see you move your body nice
We're getting crazy tonight
Mama, not thinking about my girl tonight
That's right I'm by myself
I'ma get wasted and hit the floor despite
What a woman got to say about what I do,
What I'm doing, how I'm doing
Ain't nothing to it
Like Nike "Just do it" I'm doing my own thing
So don't you try to sue it up
Party lights, loud music, yeah I'm moving up,
Grooving up, tell that girl to loosen that toodida
Make it pop, let it drop, make it smooth enough
Girl I'll clean it up sharp like a barber does
I ain't looking for love

So put your hands in the air
If you ain't looking for love
If you're just here to have fun
It's a party
Show the world you don't care
Let them all stop and stare
Make them wish they were here
Use your body

If you feelin' (?)
And you're lovin' the beat, beat
Go get yourself a drink, drink
And come party with me, me
Come party with me
Get yourself (?)
Come party with me, yeah

So put your hands in the air
If you ain't looking for love
If you're just here to have fun
It's a party

Everybody come party with me
Come party with me
Come party with me
Yeah
Yeah
