Cover art for New Song lyrics by Tokyo Police Club

Dave Monks said this about the song: "The song is one of the only songs I wrote about an actual person and actually feeling shitty. Most of my lyrics come from narratives that I think up so I treated this one with a whimsical perspective. As for that lyric in particular, I was thinking about the book [Roald Dahl's] The BFG and how the giant kept lots dreams in bottles on his shelf. Pretty awesome. But I'm not as morbid as my lyrics might make me out to be."
