Voltaire - Brand New Time Lyrics






A brand new club, a new cafe
A museum, even a gallery
I never took you to
I didn't have the time

Some brand new friends
A whole new scene
Things you wanted
I said you didn't need

We never took the time
And now we never will
I was so absorbed
Now I've got so much time to kill
I'm sorry that
I made you cry
Now all I've got is time
I hate my brand new time

Your favorite bands
And other tips
You shared with me
I didn't give a shit

We never took the time
And now we never will
I was so absorbed
Now I've got so much time to kill
I'm sorry that
I made you cry
Now all I've got is time
I hate my brand new time
I hate my brand new time
I hate my brand new time

Never went to France or Italy
It's such a pity really
Never skied, never bowled
Or just did something silly
All the same old places
Staring at each other's faces
It's atrocious, it's appalling
No surprise you found it boring, yeah

I've got a brand new suit
A brand new tie
I got some brand new shoes
You got a brand new guy

We never took the time
And now we never will
I was so absorbed
Now I've got so much time to kill
I'm sorry that
I made you cry
Now all I've got is time
I hate my brand new time
I hate my brand new time
I hate my brand new time

Voltaire Brand New Time Comments
  1. L.... O....

    So perfect man! But i prefer the accoustic version

  2. C.... K....

    I thought the silent intro went on for a bit too long, then realized my speakers were muted

  3. F.... ....

    Did he play this in live shows or something? It's not on the original Oddz CD, but I know I've heard it. Maybe it was posted on their MySpace page. :)

    F.... ....

    Yes, I think I once posted the demo on Myspace years ago.

  4. L.... A....

    Essa sim é a música de corno que eu curto.

  5. C.... C....

    I'm gonna go write some fanfictions about Voltaire and Duke now.

  6. T.... D....

    Damn! that's a great voice

  7. D.... ....

    Good thing I'm over my ex cause this would've floored me a couple years back.

  8. m.... ....

    Really loving the new tunes!

  9. L.... ....

    Espero el álbum con ansias!! 💜

  10. L.... B....

    Love your work. Showed your stuff to a few friends who have grown attached to the awesomeness that is your singing.

  11. R.... R....

    80s vibe! Loveit!

  12. F.... ....

    Nice song , i like it ! When are you going to play in Europe ? Especially in France , you have a lot of fan here ;)

  13. N.... ....

    Loving this new album!! Can’t wait to buy it ❤️

  14. d.... r....

    hey Daria Cohen can you use this for the SHOW DOWN for Miss and Duke?

  15. R.... ....

    Dear Aurelio Voltaire,

    I was first introduced to you back in 2002. Ever since then I've been a lifelong fan.

    Loving the upbeat tempo and jingle 80's vibe to this album. Every project you come out with is sonically different than the last, and I love it.
    You're not afraid to express yourself through different genres and sounds while maintaining your artistic integrity, and not many people get it.
    You'll always be met with un-just criticism and nostalgia-driven individuals who want another version of "When You're Evil" on every single album, but I digress.

    With every project, you put a smile on my face and a burning desire to listen on repeat.
    Thank you.

    R.... ....

    Thank you for that!

  16. r.... r....

    I saw this get uploaded whilst I was at work and made a sound not dissimilar to that of a dying antelope in an Attenborough special. So there’s that to be proud of. Moreso when I point out that I own the album and can listen whenever I want, so there was absolutely no cause for workplace histrionics. Well done, you. My reputation is ruined. 🖤

  17. D.... I....

    great song..

  18. M.... M....

    Its so goddamn sad that I haven't liked a single song from this album thus far

    M.... M....

    It's even sadder that you feel the need to tell me when you could even more easily just go listen to other songs of mine that you like. Let's just say that this album of mine is not for you and that your comments telling me so are not for me.

  19. L.... ....

    This is a really unfulfilling relantionship orz
    Goth dayum this is amazing, i love seeing you try new styles! It rocks, can't wait for the full album!

  20. R.... o....

    love this song SOOOO much

  21. A.... T....

    I swear I will assault a radio station and put your music on repeat a whole day.

    A.... T....

    Then please start with The Dirtiest Song that Ain't

  22. R.... M....

    Who is the background singer?

    R.... M....

    Well I know his son did some background vocals on some songs. I don’t know who else did

    R.... M....

    Xoxo Latifah I think his son sings She's Glowing

    R.... M....

    Jess O Lantern

  23. D.... ....

    Maaan I love your music so much

  24. B.... J....

    The difference between a real artist and a person solely in it for the money

  25. R.... ....

    The only thing I hate about this is that while I'm writing this comment, the whole album isn't out yet.

  26. M.... F....

    Is it okay to share these videos, or would you prefer we wait until the official release date?

    M.... F....

    Anytime is fine

  27. L.... C....

    *Why did I imagined a movie opening with this song in the background?*

  28. M.... H....

    amazing song Mr Voltaire 🖤 we love you

  29. K.... D....

    I LOVE YOU SO MUCH

  30. D.... J....

    I do really like these new Voltaire songs. Just hope there are at least a few songs in the new album with that good old school violin in it!

    D.... J....

    Nope. Sorry. Not on this one

    D.... J....

    And that's the fun of these more experimental artists like @The Lair of Voltaire , it's always interesting to see the bizarre new directions albums may take from sea shanties to deathrock to country to this album sounding a bit more 80s Synth-Pop/Pop-Rock.

    D.... J....

    I think you'll like Firestorms of Venus.

  31. D.... L....

    Compared to your old style of music, this sounds rather lame. Not lame in the meaning of total garbage, just not as individual, dark and morbid as your really old songs. I'm happy for every disk you sell, for every click you get on YouTube. I just start to enjoy your Gothic homemaking videos more than your actual music... Guess I will listen to When You're Evil, Zombie Prostitute, Hell In A Handbasket and so on forever though 🖤

    D.... L....

    Dorian Gray Those three are classics. 🖤🦇 Love them!! I like the new stuff, but more importantly, I feel every artist has to experiment once in a while. Even if they go back to the older stuff, experimentation helps them learn new things, what works for them, and their limits. A "bad" album may come out of it but every album is ultimately a lesson, and to hardcore fans, there are no bad albums, just ones you play less often. And besides, some experiments go really well. Let's cross our undead fingers.

    D.... L....

    He still plays lots of the old stuff at shows. Each of his albums has a distinct sound, which is a good thing. Artists need to follow their vision.

    D.... L....

    He originally wrote this song in the early 2000s, most of this album has the same time frame of being written, he had other commitments that prevented the album from being finished, some of the songs were released back then, but not all of them, I think it was like 2

    D.... L....

    @Anancy-9 2 full released songs (Sellout and Girlfriend) and a demo of Medicated Girl's Brigade. It also came with acoustic versions of the former two songs and a radio edit for Sellout. I do kinda miss the radio static at the beginning of Sellout that wasn't included for this album.

  32. A.... C....

    Toda una verdad la cancion, totalmente bajo hechizo 🖤

    A.... C....

    Me sorprende ver a alguien más que hable español aqui uwu

    A.... C....

    @LOVE CATS Jajaja Yo muchas veces comento en inglés porque se me olvida que Voltaire también habla español 😂 imagino habrá otros como yo 🤷‍♀️

    A.... C....

    Siiii aquí xd

  33. L.... M....

    I mean I was gonna study but

  34. H.... S....

    In a day and age where its nearly impossible to break the mold and be unique voltaire manages it with style. The only thing that sounds the same with his albums is is voice.. Love the new album so far <3

    H.... S....

    Not even that! Some songs you hear the ghost of Sinatra, others you get shades of Bowie. Then there’s Almost Human - I don’t know who the fuck that is but I like it.

  35. B.... T....

    I like this

  36. N.... ....

    Oh my gothsssss this just keeps getting better!

  37. R.... B....

    Every time there's a new song by Voltaire I wanna listen!

  38. J.... W....

    My little black heart weeps in both joy and misery! Ugh Volty it's like you know me! even tho you don't. lmao

  39. G.... D....

    Awesome music!!!

  40. D.... H....

    Great song! Way better music compared to what is played on the radio. ^.=.^ 🌹❤

    D.... H....

    May I ask why would you listen to the Radio? Who does that anyway?

    D.... H....

    @Vladutz19 Cause I can. Thanks.

    D.... H....

    @DRAGON HATAKE Then don't complain about the shitty music there. Thanks.

    D.... H....

    @Vladutz19 Why is it your business on what I listen to? I'm stating my opinion, if you don't like it then bug off.

    D.... H....

    Vladutz19 I do? And under your logic, because you asked why they were listening to radio, you shouldn’t tell them not to complain.

  41. S.... ....

    All the voltaire videos yay!!!!!! (It's actually really good for a channel to have videos posted daily)

  42. M.... ....

    Absolutely loved this track! I cannot wait for the full album to come out!

  43. M.... S....

    I've never closed porn so fast.

    M.... S....

    I see this song probably hits close to home for you

  44. Q.... A....

    Yeay another video i knew there would be yet another one from the album im so exctied love the music besides can you blame me for giving praise to you whos like a family freind to me?

  45. R.... K....

    Awesome new song :) Always love it when I see anything new from you on my youtube notifications.

  46. K.... ....

    I think im in love... I cant wait till these come out on Itunes!

  47. J.... O....
