New Song

You need a new song I'll set the words up so they tear right at your soul Don't take me too long But there's a danger that I'll plagiarize something old My fingers kill me as I play my guitar 'Cause I've been chewing down at my nails My hairline ain't exactly superstar But there's one thing that never fails This never fails I write the same old song with a few new lines And everybody wants to cheer it I write the same old song you heard a good few times Admit you really want to hear it Whenever I see you You always treat me like I'm some kind of perfect man Just 'cause I please you You explain, but you don't think I can understand My head is spinning as I scrawl with my pen 'Cause I've been pouring vodka in my soul Nothing really ever changes my friend New lamps for old New lamps for old We sing the same old song, just like a vintage car You can look but you won't ever drive it We drink the same old wine from a brand new jar We get hung over, but we always survive it Turn on the radio Love is proclaimed Again and again and again Join in and sing Now, don't be ashamed Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain Let it rain Let it rain We hum the same old lines to a different crowd And everybody wants to cheer it We run on endless time to reach a higher cloud But we never ever seem to get near it We sing the same old song --- New Song - The Who
