New Religion (Manchester Square Demos, Recorded August 28, 1981)

[01:09.42] I've been now sauntering
[01:11.13] Out and down the path sometime
[01:12.93] Come on, it takes me nowhere, which I knew
[01:17.21] Faces everywhere pulling grins and signs in things
[01:20.79] Telling me, "Not there, man, it's no go"
[01:24.81] I need a reason
[01:26.43] I can't think without one now
[01:28.77] Too much learning got to show
[01:32.75] Call it treason
[01:34.12] Maybe catch her, don't know how
[01:36.22] Too many things, too much to know
[01:41.01]
[01:59.48] I'll bring my timing in, seagulls gather on the wind
[02:03.09] Lady screaming, lady leave me out
[02:07.00] 'Cause sometimes people stare
[02:08.73] Sitting down, electric chair
[02:10.66] Steaming crowds they gather and they shout
[02:14.46] Don't know why this evil bothers me
[02:18.19] So why is he trying to follow me?
[02:22.22] How many reasons do they need?
[02:25.48] I might just believe this time
[02:30.78] I'm talking for free, I can't stop myself
[02:35.16] It's a new religion, oh
[02:37.94] I've something to see, I can't help myself
[02:42.63] It's a new religion
[02:46.88]
[02:53.14] Okay, my reasoning might be clouded by the sun
[02:56.47] But someone sees the departmental lie
[03:00.75] You know this peacetime jabbing fist in stabbing knife
[03:04.39] Only get one look before you die
[03:07.98] Don't know why this evil bothers me
[03:11.73] So why is he trying to follow me?
[03:15.76] How many reasons do they need?
[03:18.90] I might just believe this time
[03:24.17] I'm talking for free, I can't stop myself
[03:28.48] It's a new religion, oh
[03:31.71] I've something to see, I can't help myself
[03:35.97] It's a new religion
[03:40.31]
[04:23.00] Got to pay the saints and sinners
[04:24.75] In regulation hats and scarves and things
[04:26.64] Walking in formation down the lane
[04:28.45] They carry their cross, make a church bell ring
[04:30.67] Army majors pull a mean cool truth
[04:32.27] They're lying in a swimming pool
[04:34.24] Searching for the undeniable truth that
[04:36.17] A man is just a fool
[04:37.87] Don't know why this evil bothers me
[04:41.58] So why is he trying to follow me?
[04:45.53] How many reasons do they need?
[04:48.74] I might just believe this time
[04:53.88] I'm talking for free, I can't stop myself
[04:58.16] It's a new religion, oh
[05:01.42] I've something to see, I can't help myself
[05:05.67] It's a new religion, yeah
[05:08.82] I'm talking for free, I can't stop myself
[05:12.96] It's a new religion, oh
[05:16.20] I've something to see, I can't help myself
[05:20.38] It's a new religion, oh
[05:23.63] I'm talking for free, I can't stop myself
[05:27.62]
