An Open Letter to the Lyrical Trainspotter
I'm writing the words, like the fool that I am
Try and say something good, like the person I am
But it's all just a sham, 'cause the writer I am not
Could say anything, you'd believe them
Just your atypical boy-girl-girl-boy androgynous (words say nothing much)
Play on a publican's decoy (about your life)
'Cause I had to drop out, 'cause the art school was sad (words say nothing much)
If you believe all of that, you're a bigger fool than me (and I don't care)
The lyrics aren't supposed to mean that much
They're just a vehicle for a lovely voice
They aren't supposed to mean that much
Lyrics mean nothing, don't right any wrongs
In fact I'm not having them on this
You say they mean nothing, just gobbledygook
But just look at yourself, you're not clever enough
Understanding the truth, you are so out of touch (words say nothing much)
You believe all of this, you can't see it's a spoof (about your life)
Understand all the words, when they don't even rhyme (words say nothing much)
And I'm losing the rhythm, and the whole thing's getting weirder and weirder (and I don't care)
The lyrics aren't supposed to mean that much
They're just a vehicle for a lovely voice
They aren't supposed to mean that much, ahh
The lyrics aren't supposed to mean that much
They're just a vehicle for a lovely voice
They aren't supposed to mean that much
They all believe me
It's all so easy now
The lyrics aren't supposed to mean that much
They're just a vehicle for a lovely voice
They aren't supposed to mean that much, ahh
The lyrics aren't supposed to mean that much
They're just a vehicle for a lovely voice
They aren't supposed to mean that much
Ooh, ooh (ooh, ooh)
Try and say something good, like the person I am
But it's all just a sham, 'cause the writer I am not
Could say anything, you'd believe them
Just your atypical boy-girl-girl-boy androgynous (words say nothing much)
Play on a publican's decoy (about your life)
'Cause I had to drop out, 'cause the art school was sad (words say nothing much)
If you believe all of that, you're a bigger fool than me (and I don't care)

They're just a vehicle for a lovely voice

They're just a vehicle for a lovely voice
They aren't supposed to mean that much
Ooh, ooh (ooh, ooh)
