A Brand New Book - Graham Parker[00:00:00]

I once read the story of somebody's life I had a few moments to spare[00:00:15]

He was a good man who lived with his wife[00:00:22]

With the usual kids in his hair[00:00:25]

There was happiness a lot of weirdness and a sprinkle of tragedy[00:00:28]

I pulled it by chance from a second hand bin[00:00:34]

But it could've been written just for me[00:00:37]

Because the words came out not twist and shout[00:00:40]

Cause that's not what a grown man writes about[00:00:44]

That chapter's over let it blow over[00:00:47]

I found that I've become the owner of a brand new book[00:00:51]

A brand new book[00:00:56]

I've travelled far and I've travelled wide[00:01:02]

And I guess I'll be travelling on[00:01:05]

Fill another suitcase up with possessions[00:01:09]

And put on a badfinger song[00:01:11]

I've got much more than most people have[00:01:15]

And a little less than a few[00:01:17]

But you can't measure these things by weight[00:01:21]

They either drag you down or they lift you[00:01:24]

Because the words came out not twist and shout[00:01:27]

Cause that's not what a grown man writes about[00:01:31]

That chapter's over let it blow over[00:01:34]

I found that I've become the owner of a brand new book[00:01:37]

I don't read between the lines[00:01:45]

I'm not ready for what I'll find[00:01:48]

I don't believe that love is blind[00:01:51]

It just can't see straight it just can't see straight oh yeah[00:01:54]

Read all about it read all about it yeah[00:02:02]

A brand new book[00:02:13]

A brand new book[00:02:16]

I read that book for an hour or two[00:02:25]

And then I looked up at the night sky[00:02:27]

I saw the big dipper and then the big bopper[00:02:31]

And I realised how much time had gone by[00:02:34]

Every page had something to say but one thing[00:02:38]

That struck me as true[00:02:41]

The clock just keeps ticking as if you're not there[00:02:44]

Man it either drags you down or it lifts you[00:02:47]

Because the words came out not twist and shout[00:02:50]

Cause that's not what a grown man writes about[00:02:54]

That chapter's over let it blow over[00:02:57]

I found that I've become the owner of[00:03:01]

I found that becoming the owner of a[00:03:04]

I've just becoming the owner of a brand new book[00:03:07]

A brand new book[00:03:13]

A brand new book[00:03:16]

A brand new book yeah[00:03:19]
