lyrics

I'm going for a song so I hope that you can hear me
I only wrote it yesterday to try and get you near me
There's not much point in singing it if I'm up here
And you ain't over there
You know I spent time writing lines for you
It doesn't sound as good as you look that's true
But at least they rhyme that's quite hard to do
If you want a story that's tough on you
Did I write a love song that's new
If that's a waste of time perhaps you'd prefer
A science-fiction yarn on the commercial side
I know you're fond of stars shining bright and white like daisies
You can rest quite self-assured
Now as you feel the whole world turning
You're not just stoned out of your gourd
Please take my light year ticket with no return
Timewolf Airways
You could arrive there before you've been born
I just keeping on singing versions of this song
That I've always been singing
Heaven knows I've written a few
Just ran on and on and on and on
Now I feel the time has come
Lots for you to get your wallets right out on cue
Boring record moguls here's what you can do
Give me the cash, it's a smash, mercy dash
I'll go and live overseas
Doing what I please
Dreaming of a world where aspirations
Just won't matter much to me
I'll write my songs for no-one particularly
You won't hear them them
Mumbling and stumbling with consummate ease

Give him the cash, it's a smash, mercy dash
I've tried so hard just to please
Now I'll take my leave
I'm going for a song so I hope that you can hear me
I only wrote it yesterday to try and get you near me
I've had enough of singing it
So now I bring an end to this affair, this affair

(Lyrics by Pip Pyle)
