all that I hear now is Edward Lear
writers should write and singers should sing
that’s how it ought to be
but I have to be a singer/songwriter
apparently
Story behind the song
'you're quiet', she said
'writing lyrics', I replied
'well don't spend too long on them, they're all nonsense these days'
Lyrics
Could it be
There are those for whom some simple prose
Can satisfy their need
There are those for whom a feeling grows
When captive hearts are freed
What is this force that’s so divine
That’ll cause the stars to shine
Could it be your mine?
============================================
There are those for whom the chance arose
To rise above the crowd
There are those for whom the King’s new clothes
Should never be allowed
I watch the faithful stand in line
Just to drink their communion wine
Could it be your mine?
============================================
All that I hear now is Edward Lear
The undisputed King
Could it be words that are meaningless
Are all that’s left to sing?
=============================================
There are those for whom the Good Lord knows
And shelters from the storm
There are those for whom the Devil chose
His sacrificial form
Now I’ve been searching all this time
Just to find the perfect rhyme
Could it be your mine?
Could it be your mine?
Could it be your mine?
==============================================
