[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
