The Title track of NEW CLOTHES is Doug's confessional, faking his way into getting venues to book his shows during his younger years. Don't we all pretend we are something we're not in some aspect of our lives? Jerry Leeper got that off rhythm groove going on his keyboard that really makes the tune move!

Lyrics

NEW CLOTHES

Verse 1:
Long ago an emperor was subject to a scam
Some clothing made of "Super Cloth" that’s only seen by him.
Everybody watching was afraid to face the fact.
‘till a little boy shouts out "He’s got nothing on his back"

Chorus:
The Emperor's got new clothes.
The Emperor's got new clothes.
Everyone's just got to see,
they’re coming out in droves
'Cause The Emperor's got new clothes.

Verse 2:
Playing in a band with no talent and no tact
Found a useful way to get a gig and do our act
Make like we are famous and are shocked when they don t know,
just how popular they'd be if they put us in the show.

Chorus:
The Emperor's got new clothes.
The Emperor's got new clothes.
Everyone's just got to see,
they’re coming out in droves
'Cause The Emperor's got new clothes.

Verse 3:
Keeping up appearances, we all put on a show,
living in a secret life, & hoping folks don't know.
It's obvious to everyone, you're living in a lie.
You're just hoping no one mentions it until the day you die.

Chorus:
The Emperor's got new clothes.
The Emperor's got new clothes.
Everyone's just got to see,
they’re coming out in droves
'Cause The Emperor's got new clothes.

Bridge:
Well I know your works & that you say you have no needs.
You accumulate a lot & struggle hard to gain your ease.
The kid saw through the king, The Lord can see through you.
Naked, blind, and miserable, it's time to face the truth!

Verse 4:
Jesus said "I stand at the door and I Knock..."
Anyone who answers gets a personal response.
Salve for your eyes, a white garment for your back,
Admit and repent He will fill up all you lack.

New Chorus:
The sinner's got new clothes.
The sinner's got new clothes.
Salve for your eyes, a white garment that glows,
The sinner's got new clothes.
