Brand New Ways - Paul Kelly, The Messengers

I’ve been giving it all away

All my precious pearls to swine

You took my treasures and trashed them

I was blind

Now I’ve got to find

Some brand new ways

You’ve been taking it all around

Just like a little honey bee

You took your honey pot and jammed it

You did me wrong

Now the time has come

For brand new ways

Yes I heard your explanations

And I swallowed all your lies

I didn’t know I could be so foolish

I never saw it in your eyes

I’ve been hanging on much too long

I’ve been dangling on a thin, thin thread

Well I’d be better off dead and buried

For all time

Unless I can find

Some brand new ways

Got to find

Some brand new ways
