Story behind the song
"Clever Nonsense," the third song off my EP "Powertripper," is an upbeat, bassy dance tune that explores the clash of two lovers with different ideals, and the inability to let go of personal bias.
Lyrics
On one hand you want it
On one hand your spirit
Is skeptical and afraid
He calls you a princess
He bends to your wishes
Well, looks like you've got it made.
But then he shrugs
(Aye, there's the rub)
At something that sets your sweet mind a-raging
One simple word
What an absurd
Reason to freeze up and throw it all away
Cuz this bum ticker
Doesn't know the difference
Between love and something vicious
Are your words of substance
Or is it clever nonsense?
I'm starting to get suspicious
(Oooh…suspicious…)
The left is your future
The right is your nature
And both sides are very strange
But the big ones are spoken for
The small ones are broken
Is that why they call it change?
In truth you long
To prove him wrong
More than you crave his sweet, sane embrace
With all your might
You fuel the fight
And fan those miserable, invisible flames
Cuz this bum ticker
Doesn't know the difference
Between truth and something vicious
Are your words of substance
Or is it clever nonsense?
I'm starting to get suspicious
(Oooh…suspicious…)
You know that you're right
He knows that he's right
So yeah, you're both right
Just shut up and share your toys
You scream that you're right
He screams that he's right
To scream is your right
And you both make a lot of noise
You say we're in love
This couldn't be love
Well, if this is love
It should stick through any weather
Is there a God?
There must be a God
Well, if there's a God
Then he likes my opinion better
Oooh, you long
To prove him wrong
More than you pine for a partner in crime
One thought askew
One point of view
What a silly reason to squander all the good times
Cuz this bum ticker
Doesn't know the difference
Between truth and something vicious
Are your words of substance
Or is it clever nonsense?
I'm starting to get suspicious
(Oooh…suspicious…)
