Lyrics
You're so intent on my lyrical content
That you probably don't realise exactly what I meant
It may not be up there with JRR Tolkein
But at least you don't need a PhD to understand what I mean
If you're the kind of guy who reads between the lines
You probably drive a Volvo car and read Financial Times
It's not about how clever or witty the prose
It's more about the feel of the song and making sure it flows
My lyrical content, wax lyrical
There's nothing wrong with writing total nonsense lyrics
I don't have to please anyone especially not the cynics
I'm not the kind of guy who likes to know what's wrong
I'd rather put a smile on your face and help you bounce along
Nothing makes us happier than smiling, bouncing faces
So we have to get our music heard in lots of different places
It's not about how clever or witty the prose
It's more about the feel of the song and making sure it flows
My lyrical content, wax lyrical
Heard some people saying that you had a sense of humour
There may well be some truth in that but I think it's a rumour
Say I get most of my lyrics from Peter & Jane
I tried using a thesaurus but the songs came out the same
I like to think we're standing on the funny side of crazy
Our future's looking bright although our past's a little hazy
It's not about how clever or witty the prose
It's more about the feel of the song and making sure it flows
My lyrical content, wax lyrical
You're so intent on my lyrical content
That you probably don't realise exactly what I meant
It may not be up there with JRR Tolkein
But at least you don't need a PhD to understand what I mean
If you're the kind of guy who reads between the lines
You probably drive a Volvo car and read Financial Times
It's not about how clever or witty the prose
It's more about the feel of the song and making sure it flows
My lyrical content, I just said what I meant
My lyrical content, wax lyrical
