about

"This song about a song, for now's what you get" as the lyric goes - For fantasists and losers!

lyrics

My hit song, on the tip of my tongue
It’s been to the moon, words, a tune be here soon to entertain you
But that’s not what I do, an aberration its true
Ambition and money and contracts and fools
I’ll give house room

My hit song is for true believers
My hit song, for fantasists and losers

My hit verse, lifting the curse or skirts
Sex drugs and money in a colour ball burst - Hey I can cope now
So stick it up fashion, stick it up fate
Sweeter than ever for turning up late
It’s a doozy

My fey fairy way with melody wins business
My old hurtful ways you’ll read in media studies

It’s going to be fun with the beautiful ones
My cynical songs will be soothed with the balm that success brings
But I’m not ready yet, my demands are not met
This song about a song for now’s what you get
Have to do now

Its cynical birth is a seed in the earth
It’s worth every penny you paid
And I’d just like to thank you

My hit song is for true believers
My hit song, for fantasists and losers
My hit song
