《A Brand New Book》歌词

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:56] A brand new book

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:13] A brand new book

[00:02:16] A brand new book

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:13] A brand new book

[00:03:16] A brand new book

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