I got holes in my trainers I got a hole in my sole I've been walking round in circles Don't think I'll ever find home I take a step into the shoe shop, take two steps back The idea of getting new ones is giving me a heart attack Put yourself in my shoes, it ain't comfortable You know I need to get some new ones I've got the new shoes blues I've made my bed, I'll lie in it And you can lie here too You might wake up in the morning with the new shoes blues I'm gonna get a pair of laces Better than the ones I've got I'm gonna learn to put my foot down I'm gonna learn to tie a knot I want to know where they came from, I want to know where they're made I want to know which country, which sweatshop and which brand name Put yourself in my shoes, it ain't comfortable You know I need to get some new ones I've got the new shoes blues I've made my bed, I'll lie in it And you can lie here too You might wake up in the morning with the new shoes blues It turns out they're made in China The new shoes of mine A brand new pair of Reeboks It wasn't even a crime And I can walk down the high street And everybody has a look They said "nice new shoes bruv Where did you get them from?" Put yourself in my shoes, it ain't comfortable You know I need to get some new ones I've got the new shoes blues I've made my bed, I'll lie in it And you can lie here too You might wake up in the morning with the new shoes blues
