Eddi Reader - New Pretender lyrics

here comes the new pretender a bible in his hand he thinks he will be happy he thinks that life is grand I have learnt how to be grateful for the scraps that fall from your table oh, oh-oh, oh-oh here comes the new pretender he looks just like the old he would get a big surprise when he finds hell is cold there are those who want to warm you then one day they won't phone you oh, oh-oh, oh and in every sleepy town you will find heads full of dreams heads full of dreams there goes the new pretender he won't last that long there will be a new face to sing the same old song, oh he will learn how to be grateful for the scraps that fall from your table oh, oh-oh, oh-oh here comes the new pretender
