It's The New Thing

My boys tape what I say
Do it the studio way
New equipment, all clean
New gear, clothes mean
I answer and take the calls
No trouble with the law
Turn it up for interviewers
Oh yeah, prime movers
I wonder, what is next years thing?
Crash, smash, crash, ring

They've got another side
Pop heroes of the mind
While you suckers queue or work
Money for us in play and tell
We have never sold out
Spent hours on clever art
Funny advertising quotes
Make you bite and raise your hopes
That it's the new leather thing
Crash, smash, crash, ring

The broken backs of the real bands
A million closed minds
Re-form the old clans
Year of the average man
The Worst died because of you
Along with some others too
Erasing of our rainbows
We are men, we have big toes!
It's the new leather thing
Crash, smash, crash, ring

Houdini believed his tricks
That is why he died
Oh I'm not coming out
There may be a film on tonight
Or Eliot's Untouchables
Ads for new hotels
Look like science fiction films or revival gothic pig-swill
Watch the skies, watch The Thing
Crash, smash, crash, ring

(Rock it!)
(It's the new leather thing)
(It's the new leather thing)
(It's the new leather thing)
It's the new leather thing
(It's the new leather thing)
It's the new leather thing
(It's the new leather thing)
(It's the new leather thing)
(It's the new leather thing)
(It's the new leather thing)
New leather thing
New leather thing
New leather thing
Yow!
