New Shoes (acoustic version) - Paolo Nutini

Woke up cold one Tuesday

I'm looking tired and feeling quite sick

I felt like there was something missing

In my day to day life

So I quickly opened the wardrobe

Pulled out some jeans and a T-Shirt that seemed clean

Topped it off with a pair of old shoes

That were ripped around the seams

And I thought these shoes just don't suit me

Hey, I put some new shoes on

And suddenly everything's right

I said, hey, I put some new shoes on

And everybody's smiling, it's so inviting

Oh, short on money but long on time

Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine

And I'm running late and I don't need an excuse

'Cause I'm wearing my brand new shoes

Woke up late one Thursday

I'm seeing stars as I'm rubbing my eyes

And I felt like there were two days missing

As I focused on the time

And I made my way to the kitchen

But had to stop from the shock of what I found

The room full of all of my friends all dancing 'round and 'round

And I thought hello new shoes, bye bye blues

Hey, I put some new shoes on

And suddenly everything is right

I said, hey, I put some new shoes on

And everybody's smiling, it's so inviting

Oh, short on money but long on time

Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine

And I'm running late and I don't need an excuse

'Cause I'm wearing my brand new shoes

Take me wandering through these streets

Where bright lights and angels meet

Stone to stone they take me on

I'm walking 'til the break of dawn

Take me wandering through these streets

Where bright lights and angels meet

Stone to stone they take me on

I'm walking 'til the break of dawn

Hey, I put some new shoes on

And suddenly everything is right

I said, hey, I put some new shoes on

And everybody's smiling, it's so inviting

Oh, short on money but long on time

Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine

And I'm running late and I don't need an excuse

'Cause I'm wearing my brand new shoes

Oh hey, I put some new shoes on

And suddenly everything is right

I said, hey, I put some new shoes on

And everybody's smiling, it's so inviting

Oh, short on money but long on time

Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine

And I'm running late and I don't need an excuse

'Cause I'm wearing my brand new shoes
