How Many New Toys?
Steve Skaith / Mike Jones
Lyrics
What would you do if you had a friend
Who opened his eyes just to see day’s end?
And then can’t tell what he sees
For fading smiles in illustrated trees.
Some things best left unspoken
But how many new toys has this kid broken?
But how many new toys has this kid broken?
How many times have you seen someone
Sitting still but still they’re on the run
They love it here but meanwhile
They put their faith in intervening miles
Wonderland, Hoboken
Oh how many new toys has this kid broken?
Oh how many new toys has this kid broken?
Why did it break? he asks
As he holds out the pieces for me to see
Just needed to see if it would last
Can’t you help me find a heart in this debris
Perhaps the Queen of hearts in this debris?
Does he reflect or does he just stare
At the looking-glass, the hatter and the hare
Alice in a daydream
The storyline makes me want to scream
Please leave this one un-woken
Oh how many new toys has this kid broken?
Oh how many new toys has this kid broken?
Please tell me, how many new toys has this kid broken?
Song Description
A song about someone who is constantly dissatisfied and restless wherever they are. Someone who doesn’t fit in because they are always looking beyond to what they imagine may satisfy them more. Mmm
