Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Walking in the pouring rain
Walking with Jesus and Jane
Jane was in her turtle neck
I was much happier then
[Verse 2]
If I were to ask you
What would you do with yourself?
If I were to tell you
Would you just talk to yourself?
[Verse 3]
Am I asking, oh, for so much?
I'm not asking to be understood
Am I asking, oh, for so much?
I'm just lookin' for a brand new friend
(A brand new friend)
A brand new friend
[Verse 4]
Walking in the pouring rain
Walking with Jesus and Jane
Jane was in her turtle neck
I was much happier then
[Verse 5]
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
'Cause it's all downhill now
[Verse 6]
So let me count the times that we swore and lied
That we'd tie ourselves to the railway line
Now let me count the times when, of course, we lied
Well, we knew no better, it was no crime
[Verse 7]
Let me count the times
Count the times
Let me count the times
[Verse 8]
Let me count the times
Let me count the times
Let me count the times
[Verse 9]
I, well I don't know when
I, when I'll be content
But I do know I need
A brand new friend
(A brand new friend)
A brand new friend
(A brand new friend)
A brand new friend
(A brand new friend) Ah, yeah
[Verse 10]
(A brand new friend)
(A brand new friend)
(A brand new friend)
(A brand new friend)
(A brand new friend)
(A brand new friend)
(A brand new friend)
[Verse 11]
(A brand new friend)
(A brand new friend)
(A brand new friend)
(A brand new friend)...
