An Open Letter To The Lyrical Trainspotter - Mansun
Written by：Paul Draper
I'm writing these words
Like the fool that I am
Trying to say something
Good like the person
But it's all just a sham
'Cause the writer I am not
Could say anything you'd believe them
Just your A typical
Boy girl girl boy androgynous
Play on a publican's decoy
'Cause I had to drop out
'Cause the Art School was sad and
If you believe all of
That you're a bigger fool than me
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 gobbledy gook
But just look at yourself
You're not clever enough
Understanding the truth
You are so out of touch
You believe all of this
You can't see it's a spoof
Understand all the words
When they don't even rhyme
And I'm losing the rhythm
And the whole thing's
Getting weirder and weirder
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
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
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
