Lyrics
I like this riff, and I think I’m gonna write a song with it It’s light and calm and sweet and at the same time upbeat But I can’t think of what to say So, I’ll just write it anyway Now I need a chorus… This would be perfect, if only the verse fit I don’t know how I’d mash the two together It’s maybe a new tune, called “Once in a Blue Moon” About the chance of finding love But it’s already been done, there must be a million Sad sack stories in the used bin I don’t really want to join them... This song will be the best song Don’t tell me I’m wrong This song will be the best song Except it’s not So I’m gonna try again Fingerpicking makes Everything sound great Everything I say sounds deep and sincere Pull my finger and I fart Watch it linger in your heart See, I’m making lovely art, but it also kinda stinks Who doesn’t adore, a waltz on the floor Followed up with a crumpet and tea Oh right, this is Michigan that I am living in Not London in 1903 C’mon Woodward, get it together C’mon Woodward, time to be clever Don’t stop now, just finish it, whatever it takes I’m gonna try, try, try, try to grow a seed I’m gonna try, try, try, till my fingers bleed I’m gonna try, try, try, try, try, till I’ve used every chord I’m gonna try, try, try, till I get it right I’m gonna try, try, try, till the morning light I’m gonna try, try, try, try, try, until I get bored And then I’m gonna finish it later
