New Shoes

From the baby in the womb to the burden in the room

From the body in the tomb to the man on the moon

From the bottom of the hill to the top of the hill

From the hole in your head when you can't sit still

All wrapped up in a cotton bud

Watch the sun go down and watch it come back up

Take another sip from the broken cup

Drippin' little tap keeps me woken up

Oh oh

New shoes, old blues

Walking round the streets of London town singing

Up on the roof

If I lose, you lose

You and I could spend our time just lying dreaming

Of Hollywood

With these new shoes

From the people in the front to the people in the back

To the people in the back, can you hear the stack?

From the down and the out to the uptown girl

From the daisy chain to the string of pearls

All wrapped up in a cotton bud

Watch the sun go down and watch it come back up

Oh oh

New shoes, old blues

Walking round the streets of London town singing

Up on the roof

If I lose, you lose

You and I could spend our time just lying dreaming

Of Hollywood

With these new shoes

With these new shoes
