Lloyd Cole Brand New Friend Lyrics

walking in the rain walking with jesus and jane
jane was in her turtle neck i was much happier then
if i were to ask you what you would 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 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
no 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 know no better it was no crime
let me count the times
i well i don't know when i when i'll be content
but i do know i need a brand new friend
