Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well, no one knows this place just quite like me
Well, I don't hang with the crowd where I go we're dressing down
I'll take you where the music plays for free
So don't rely on people you meet
'Cause no one is safe in these streets
I'm gonna make you feel alright
I don't have a lot of money but we'll be fine
No I don't have a penny but I'll show you a good time
I'm gonna take you out tonight
I'm gonna make you feel alright
I don't have a lot of money but we'll be fine
No I don't have a penny but I'll show you a real good time
So what do you think so far? Is it all you're hoping for?
Does it live up to your every dream?
Or do we disappoint? Well you made the choice
When you wake up can you hear the scream?
So don't rely on people you meet
'Cause no one is safe in these streets
I'm gonna take you out tonight
I'm gonna make you feel alright
I don't have a lot of money but we'll be fine
No I don't have a penny but I'll show you a good time
I'm gonna take you out tonight
I'm gonna make you feel alright
I don't have a lot of money but we'll be fine
No I don't have a penny but I'll show you a real good time
'Cause I know how it feels to be alone
When strangers only make you feel the cold
You never ever felt so far from home
You never felt so far from home
I'm gonna take you out tonight
I'm gonna make you feel alright
I don't have a lot of money but we'll be fine
No I don't have a penny but I'll show you a good time
I'm gonna take you out tonight
I'm gonna make you feel alright
I don't have a lot of money but we'll be fine
No I don't have a penny but I'll show you a real good time
I'm gonna take you out tonight
I'm gonna make you feel alright
I don't have a lot of money but we'll be fine
No I don't have a penny but I'll show you a good time
I'm gonna take you out tonight
I'm gonna make you feel alright
I don't have a lot of money but we'll be fine
No I don't have a penny but I'll show you a real good time
The song "New in Town" by Little Boots is a catchy upbeat tune with a message that speaks about the challenges of being new in town and how people can be unreliable especially when it comes to meeting new people. In the first verse, the singer offers to show the newcomer the town and take them to places where the music is free and people aren't too flashy. She warns the newcomer not to trust everyone they meet.
In the chorus, Little Boots emphasizes the fact that she is not rich but is still willing to take the newcomer out and show them a good time. She hopes to make her new friend feel welcome, happy and forget about their troubles.
The second verse continues the same sentiment but adds a darker twist. The singer asks if the newcomer is happy and if they feel welcome in the town. She warns them that they made a choice to be there, and when they wake up, they may feel the scream of the loneliness and coldness of the city.
Overall, the song is about helping those who are new in town and may be feeling lonely and uncomfortable. Little Boots is not trying to be someone she is not and is willing to take her new friend to a place where they can feel welcome and have fun despite not having a lot of money.

The 00s were such a great decade for pop - and I was in my 30s for most of it; but still buying so much new music.
