Brand New Friend

Walking in the pouring rain
Walking with Jesus and Jane
Jane was in her turtleneck
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
A brand new friend
Walking in the pouring rain
Walking with Jesus and Jane
Jane was in her turtleneck
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
'Cos it's all downhill now
So let me count the times that we swore and lied that we'd
Tie ourself 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, when I'll be content
But I do know I need a brand new friend
