The New Nathan Detroits - Remastered 2023

Nineteen ninety eight looked great on
Plain white paper on the fiftieth plane to Champaign
But to tell you the truth, if I had a chance to kill it
I'd pick it up and take it and shake it and kiss it to death

There's something inside like a conscience that says
"You're painting floors while your pals are renaming the stars
Get up, get up and go do what you started
If you want to be a martyr, try harder"

Go
My son, have you grown?
Go
Make a home

And put the kids in their beds

And I will talk about this year
If there was something to talk about
And you sell and you sell with your heart
So you can make a few bucks and lose a few friends

And this is the stuff that makes you
And it'll be the same that breaks you
Move on, get on with your life
It's pointless to play if you don't get paid, why not

Go
My son, have you grown?
Go
Make a home

And put the kids in their beds, the kid's in our heads
We've got a lot of great mistakes to make
We've got a lot of chances to take
So let's take our time and hurry

Go
My son has come home
Oh, I said no, no, no
Make my own

And put the kids in their bed, the kid's in our head
We've got a lot of people to fear this year
So Addy, if you want to be near
Sing will to the wind and worry

Oh, Addy, do I love you
But I've got such things I have to do
Addy, do I want to hear you
But I just can't get through

Addy, do I miss you
These dreams I sing when I
Kiss you

Oh, Addy, do I love you
But God, such things I put you through
Addy, do I want to hold you
But anyone may do

Addy, do I miss you
These dreams I sing when I'm
Introducing the new Nathan Detroits
