One-man band with help from outsiders.
Story behind the song
A Pastiche of those 1970s sit-down-at-a-piano-wearing-a-big-shirt-and-a-mullet type songwriters. This song is built around all those lyrical and musical cliches.
Lyrics
I'm a singer-songwriter
I write songs, I sing 'em too.
But I write such bad words
I got those shit-lyric blues.
But latley I've been to Paris and to New York
'Cos I'm a singer-songwriter.
I'm a singer-songwriter
I've talked about it and I've been there.
A knapsack and some sandwiches
There ain't nothing I ain't seen yeah.
But lately I've been to Boston and to Belgium
'Cos I'm a singer-songwriter.
(key-change for the girlies)
I'm a singer-songwriter
I write songs of things like love
The master of the cliche
'Cos you know, it fits just like a glove.
But lately I've been making a comeback
'Cos I'm a singer-songwriter.
