Lyrics
New Broom
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We need a new broom
To sweep it all clean
We need a beat boom
We need a new scheme
Break all the deadlocks
And spill all the beer
Mr Ditko was right
Mr A so near
Break out the paints and the brushes
And spill out your hearts
No amount of soft soap
Can ever give you a fresh start
We are walking on a tight rope
We can slip beyond religion
The answer's in your cranium
And not on independent television
