Lene Lovich - New Toy

Did I ask you for your love?
Did I ask you for your dedication?
I don't want, I don't want your love.
I don't want, I don't want your affection!
But I've got to have the car
I need it for the weekend.
I've got to have the stereo,
And a couple of deletions
I've got to have the freezer
Put some fun back in my eating (?)
I've got to have it all until I'm complete!

I want a New Toy (oh ay oh), to keep my head expanding (ta).
I want a New Toy (oh ay oh), nothing too demanding (ta).
Then when everything is in roses everything is static (ta)
Yeh my New Toy (oh ay oh), you'll find us in the attic.

You.. Sometimes you make me feel... I feel so insecure.
Sometimes you make me feel... nothing at all
I'm sick of the TV
Well look at the news
I'm sick of the radio
But what can you do?
I'm sick of the Hoover
????
I'm sick of it all, so what can I do?

I get a New Toy (oh ay oh), to keep my head expanding (ta).
I get a New Toy (oh ay oh), nothing too demanding (ta).
Then when everything is in roses you don't get any headroom.
Yeh my New Toy (oh ay oh), you'll find us in the bedroom, yeh.
New Toy
New toy...

Hey Lady Gaga......this is how its done!!!

[ChasBeauregarde]

Everything about this is ORIGINAL. Surreal, Goth before it was a genre... etc. One of my favorite videos....Remember when videos were experimental and edgy as opposed to safe and predictable?

@omagine Absofuckingloutely! Sigh...

[TheNouveauxdecadence]

Lene Lovich is a LEGEND, PERIOD. Such a unique and totally original artist. SERIOUS RESPECT *+*

...nothing too demanding...

[MrCarloschettini]

...la prima sigla di mimi e la magnifica dozzina 1982/1983

[onemaddog100]

@ozyank64 Gaga; Cyndi Lauper; Madonna etc: This is the lady it all came from and she ain't acknowledged as the original genius for all of it!!!!

Dolby !

@omagine WHOOPS - i meant to say Lucky Number, not New Toy!

[omagine]

After all these years, i just noticed Dolby was in this video. Prolly didn't notice, cuz i'm usually dancing around like an idiot when it's on. ;)

@lunalure actually Dolby wrote New Toy, and played on the accompanying tour. Both geniuses. There were SO many geniuses in the late 70's and early 80's. Nothing is that original anymore.

It is incredible Thomas Dolby wrote this lyrics and music when he was about 20 years old! Lene performed this song well.
