Brand New Friend Lyrics
Walking in the pouring 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 pouring 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?
Not 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.
Now, let me count the times when of course we lied
Well we know no better it was no crime.
Let me count the times,
Let me count the times,
Let me count the times.
Let me count the times,
Let me count the times,
Let me count the times.
I,
Well I dont know when I,
When I'll be content.
But I do know I need a brand new friend.
Walking with Jesus and Jane.
Jane was in her turtle neck,
I was much happier then.
what you would do with yourself?
If I were to tell you
would you just talk to yourself?
I'm not asking to be understood.
Am I asking oh for so much?
I'm just looking for a brand new friend.
Walking with Jesus and Jane.
Jane was in her turtle neck,
I was much happier then.
You could do anything you wanted to.
Am I asking oh for so much?
Not just something that I can hold down.
Because it's all downhill now.
That we'd tie ourselves to the railway line.
Now, let me count the times when of course we lied
Well we know no better it was no crime.
Let me count the times,
Let me count the times.
Let me count the times,
Let me count the times.
Well I dont know when I,
When I'll be content.
But I do know I need a brand new friend.

This song is about someone who is "between" relationships. Previous relationship involved walks in the rain, mutual faith in Jesus & probably religious discussions, and stupid, pointless dares i.e., tying themselves to railway line, probably abandoned and they didn't know it, hence they knew no better it was no crime. He was happier then, but now it's over and looking for a "brand new friend".
