An Open Letter To The Lyrical Trainspotter Lyrics
Mansun
Im writing these words like the fool that I am
Trying to say something good like the person
But its all just a sham cos the writer I am not
Could say anything, youd believe them
Just your a-typical boy-girl-girl-boy androgynous
Play on a publicans decoy
cos I had to drop out cos the art school was sad and
If you believe all of that youre a bigger fool than me
The lyrics arent supposed to mean that much
Theyre just a vehicle for a lovely voice
They arent supposed to mean that much
Lyrics mean nothing, dont right any wrongs
In fact Im not having them on this
You say they mean nothing just gobbledy-gook
But just look at yourself youre not clever enough
Understanding the truth, you are so out of touch
You believe all of this, you cant see its a spoof
Understand all the words when they dont even rhyme
And Im losing the rhythm and the whole things getting wierder and wierder
They all believe me
Its all so easy now
