New Kid

(album: Fragments - 2021)

Please welcome the new kid
He's young and impatient
He's holding his hands up
A spot there lies vacant
He's brought us a new song
To share out between us
To pick at like ravens
I don't think he's seen us

Let's hope he is our type
Or turn him into one
Oh, long live the new kid
Till we find a new one

Oh, please, do come this way
We saved you a seat there with nothing to pay
And, oh we, we will not let you down
Let's get those feet off the ground

Please welcome the new guy
He's hoping to stay here
Well, let's see what the kids think
Nothing is free, dear
He'll tell us a story
And we'll cry like we mean it
The new guy is broken
Pretend you ain't seen it

What wonders the Earth bring
The hope and unreason
Please welcome the new guy
The whore of the season

Oh, please, do come this way
We saved you a seat there with nothing to pay
And we will not let you down
Let's get those feet off the ground
Let's get those feet off the ground
