New Shoes
From the baby in the wombto the burden in the roomfrom the baby in the tombTo the man on the moonFrom the bottom of the hill to the top of the hillFrom the hole in your head whenYou can't sit still
All wrapped up in a cotton budWatch the sun go down andWatch it come back upTake another sip from the broken cupDrippin' little tap keeps me woken upOhNew shoesOld bluesWalking round the streetsOf London town singingUp on the roofIf i loseYou loseYou and i could spend ourtime just lying dreamingOf HollywoodWith these new shoes
From the people at the frontto the people at the backto the people at the backcan you hear the stack?From the down and the out to the uptown girlFrom the daisy chain to the string of pearls
All wrapped up in a cotton budWatch the sun go down andWatch it come back upTake another sip from the broken cupDrippin' little tap keeps me woken upOh OhhhNew shoesOld bluesWalking round the streetsOf London town singingUp on the roofIf i loseYou loseYou and i could spend ourtime just lying dreamingOf HollywoodWith these new shoes
