Woke up cold
one Tuesday
I'm looking tired and
feeling quite sick
I felt like there was
something missing
in my
day to day life
So I quickly opened
the wardrobe
Pulled out some
jeans and a T-Shirt
that seemed clean
Topped it off with
a pair of old shoes
that were ripped
around the seams
And I thought
these shoes just
don't suit me
Hey, I put some
new shoes on
and suddenly
everything's right
I said, hey,
I put some
new shoes on and
everybody's smiling
It's so inviting oh
Short on money
but long on time
Slowly strolling in
the sweet sunshine
and I'm running late
and I don't need
an excuse
'Cos I'm wearing my
brand new shoes
Woke up late
one Thursday
And I'm seeing stars
as I'm rubbing my eyes
and I felt like there were
two days missing as I
focused on the time
And I made my way
to the kitchen
But I had to stop
from the shock
of what I found
A room full of all
of my friends all
Dancing round
and round
And I thought hello
to new shoes
Bye-bye them blues
Hey, I put some
new shoes on
and suddenly
everything's right
I said, hey,
I put some
new shoes on and
everybody's smiling
It's so inviting oh
Short on money
but long on time
Slowly strolling in
the sweet sunshine
and I'm running late
and I don't need
an excuse
'Cos I'm wearing my
brand new shoes
Take me wandering
through these streets
Where bright lights
and angels meet
Stone to stone
they take me on
I'm walking to the
break of dawn
Take me wandering
through these streets
Where bright lights
and angels meet
Stone to stone
they take me on
I'm walking till the
break of dawn
Hey, I put some
new shoes on
and suddenly
everything's right
I said, hey,
I put some
new shoes on and
everybody's smiling
It's so inviting oh
Short on money
but long on time
Slowly strolling in
the sweet sunshine
and I'm running late
and I don't need
an excuse
'Cos I'm wearing my
brand new shoes
Hey, I put some
new shoes on
and suddenly
everything's right
I said, hey,
I put some
new shoes on and
everybody's smiling
It's so inviting oh
Short on money
but long on time
Slowly strolling in
the sweet sunshine
and I'm running late
and I don't need
an excuse
'Cos I'm wearing my
brand new shoes
