GOOD AS NEW


i was terribly lonely
the nights were cold and long
but i didn’t feel so lonely
when i had written my lonely song
i was broken hearted
thought i’d never get over you
but a few songs down the line
my heart is good as new

good as new
good as new
just a few songs down the line
and i’m as good as new

i was fucking angry
i wrote an angry song
it worked just like psychotherapy
and now my anger’s gone
it took a lot of songs it’s true
cos i loved you quite a bit
but now i’ve no love left for you
cos the songs got all of it

i’m good as new
good as new
just a few songs down the line
and i’m as good as new
