New Obsession Lyrics by Marlinspike

Old Scores & New Horizons

2008

[Verse 1]
What's better than ravioli?
What's better than soya sauce on rice?
What's better than fries with gravy?
And Dr. Pepper with no ice?
[Chorus 1]
But everything else fails to make me feel
The way my new obsession makes me feel
I'd give up all my favourite foods
Just to get up close to you
You're my new obsession, don't be scared
[Verse 2]
What's better than playoff hockey?
What's better than Star Wars and James Bond? (Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah)
What's better than life in Springfield?
What's better than Indiana Jones? (Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah)
[Chorus 2]
But everything else fails to make me feel
The way my new obsession makes me feel
I'd give up all my favourite shows
Just if I could kiss your toes
You're my new obsession, don't be scared
[Solo]
[Verse 3]
What's better than a summer vacation?
Taking time off work, pick up and go
(Ain't nothin better than that now, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah
Ain't nothin better than that now baby)
What's better than the joy of painting?
And no, you just can't mess with the flow (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
[Chorus 3]
But everything else fails to make me feel
The way my new obsession makes me feel
I'd give up up all my favourite things
Just if you would wear my ring
You're my new obsession, don't be scared
