Cover art for New Coats and New Hats lyrics by Matt Nathanson

This is one of my absolute favorite Matt Nathanson songs. Matt has said this song is about a female friend of his, who I guess he likes (in a friendly way -- he's married after all!).

IMHO the version on "Not Colored Too Perfect" is a bit better than the "Ernst" version, though they're both exceptional.
