John Wesley Harding – Your New Clothes Lyrics
Artist: John Wesley Harding
Song: Your New Clothes
You could say that this town’s seen better days
There’s rats everywhere and some of them don’t have Mercedes
The hometown crowd wants to see you pass by
So please save our lives or catch our eye
And a B2 bombed us with a million roses
And nobody said a single thing about
Your new clothes
Your new clothes
Your new clothes
About your new clothes
So no ifs and buts, no one’s got the guts no more
This is no picture show and it’s no fairy story
Some claim they cannot afford the price
To see true prophets predict with dice
Or read the future with the mythic tarot
And who amongst them could foretell the force
Of your new clothes
Your new clothes
Of your new clothes
Your new clothes
Your new clothes
About your new clothes
Hey, I dig ’em, they’re so hip that I’m turning green
They’re a fashion statement, yeah but no one knows what they mean
I wanna know so bad but I’m afraid
To find of what fine stuffs they’re made
Even fashion experts, they can’t claim to know
What satisfies them most about
Your new clothes
Your new clothes
Your new clothes
Your new clothes
Your new clothes
About your new clothes
We’re cold and naked, in case you hadn’t guessed
And the emperor is the only one who is dressed
Well, if that seems neat, that’s ’cause it is
Things don’t bang, they don’t even fizz
They just go off right in your hand
There’s a little boy in the furthest stand
Who says, “Am I the only one who knows?”
But we don’t hear, ’cause we’re so in love
With your new clothes
Your new clothes
Your new clothes
Your new clothes
Your new clothes
Your new clothes
Your new clothes
Your new clothes
Your new clothes
With your new clothes
