Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott - What Have We Become

I Am Not A Muse

I am not a muse
I don't have hits on charts with other people's bad news
I'm not a series of childish clues that believe cleverly in half truths
I am not a muse I am not a muse

I am not some sad jack in anorak or half cap, high on smack
I am not a muse I am not a musevI am not a muse I am not a muse
I am not in the band because Daddy didn't understand
I do not gain from others' pain and then sell it back to them again
I'm not mad or insane
I'm not into early Miles Davis or John Coltrane

I am not a muse. I am not a muse I am not a muse I am not a muse
I am not a muse I do not profess to love the blues
I'm not fit to shine Gram Parsons' new soft shoes
I do not mention countless interviews, countless interviews. I am not a muse
I am not a northern star
I do not break my friends with 'ay-ups' and "Alright las"
I don't sit outside of Italian I am not in the band because Daddy didn't understand
I do not gain from others' pain and then sell it back to them again
I'm not mad or insane
I'm not into early Miles Davis or John Coltrane
I am not a muse. I am not a muse I am not a muse I am not a muse
I am not a muse
I'm not a series of "don'ts and do's" and "who's whose" for the middle classes to
Peruse. I don't hang with North London crews
No I ain't no muse
I am not a professional southerner I know I'm not "alright, guv'nor
As one masochist said to the other, "don't beat yourself up about it brother. Don't
Beat yourself up about it brother
I am not in the band because Daddy didn't understand
I do not gain from others' pain and then sell it back to them again
I'm not mad or insane
I'm not into early Miles Davis or John Coltrane
I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not a
Muse. I am not a muse
I did not form a band to get a larger plot of land
It was not engineered or planned to spend a life by sea or sand. I am not a muse
I am not a muse
I'm not into Robert Johnson
I don't love those Delta blues
I am not in the band because Daddy or Mommy didn't understand
I do not gain from others' pain and then sell it back to them again
I'm not mad or insane
I'm not into early Miles Davis or John Coltrane
I am not a muse I am not a muse I am not a muse I am not a muse I am not a
Muse. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not
A muse. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not a muse I am
Not a muse. I am not a muse
