You're so intent with my lyrical content,
that you probably don't realise exactly what I meant
It may not be up there with JRR Tolkien
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
There's nothing wrong with writing total nonsense lyrics,
I don't have to please anyone, especially not the cynics
If your 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, bouncy 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
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
Said I get most of my lyrics from Peter and Jane,
I tried using Thesaurus but the songs came out the same
Like to think we're standing on the funny side of crazy,
our future's looking bright although the 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
