New Shoes Blues Songtext
von Beans on Toast

I got holes in my trainers
I got a hole in my sole
I′ve been walking round in circles
Don't think I′ll ever find home
I take a step into the shoe shop, take two steps back
The idea of getting new ones is giving me a heart attack

Put yourself in my shoes, it ain't comfortable
You know I need to get some new ones
I've got the new shoes blues
I′ve made my bed, I′ll lie in it
And you can lie here too
You might wake up in the morning with the new shoes blues

I'm gonna get a pair of laces
Better than the ones I′ve got
I'm gonna learn to put my foot down
I′m gonna learn to tie a knot
I want to know where they came from, I want to know where they're made
I want to know which country, which sweatshop and which brand name


Put yourself in my shoes, it ain′t comfortable
You know I need to get some new ones
I've got the new shoes blues
I've made my bed, I′ll lie in it
And you can lie here too
You might wake up in the morning with the new shoes blues

It turns out they′re made in China
The new shoes of mine
A brand new pair of Reeboks
It wasn't even a crime
And I can walk down the high street
And everybody has a look
They said "nice new shoes bruv
Where did you get them from?"

Put yourself in my shoes, it ain′t comfortable
You know I need to get some new ones
I've got the new shoes blues
I′ve made my bed, I'll lie in it
And you can lie here too
You might wake up in the morning with the new shoes blues
