Brand New Emperor's Clothes

James Reyne


Loverboy went all around the world
Making eyes at every other girl
Now we see he publicly caress
Lost in narcissistic tenderness

Everybody knows your name
Everybody knows your game

Chorus ~
Who is this fallen to the ground 
And he's always hanging `round
Dress me up in a fool's disguise
Wipe the wool across my eyes

Silly bloody coffee table man
Golden tounge is tied and in the can
And this black eyed feeling
Over you is stealing
In your cell you're squealing
At the hand their dealing

Chorus +

Who is this leader of the pack 
Someone please just send him back
Pretty maids all stand in rows
To touch the brand new emperor's clothes

Chorus +

Who is this leader of the pack 
Someone please just send him back
Pretty maids all stand in rows
To touch the brand new emperor's clothes

Pretty maids all stand in rows
To touch the brand new emperor's clothes

Who is this fallen to the ground 
He's always hanging `round
Pretty maids all stand in rows
To touch the brand new emperor's clothes
