Lloyd Cole - Brand New Friend lyrics

Walking in the pouring rain

Walking with Jesus and Jane

Jane was in her turtle neck

I was much happier then

If I were to ask you

what would you do with yourself?

If I were to tell you

Would you just talk to yourself?

Am I asking, oh, for so much?

I'm not asking to be understood

Am I asking, oh, for so much?

I'm just looking for a brand new friend

Walking in the pouring rain

Walking with Jesus and Jane

Jane was in her turtle neck

I was much happier then

Am I asking, oh, for so much?

You could do anything you wanted to

Am I asking, oh, for so much?

Not just something that I can hold down

Because it's all downhill, now

So, let me count the times that we swore and lied

That we'd tie ourselves to the railway line

Let me count the times when of course we lied

Well we knew no better, it was no crime

Let me count the times

I, well, I don't know when I'll be content

But I do know I need a brand new friend.
