Chaser's War On Everything, The - PROLIX SONGWRITER lyrics

rate me

I really strongly and vehemently wish

That I could write songs that had less lyrics in them

But every time I sit down and try to write a song my head starts to overflow because I’ve got so very many things that I wanna say.

It becomes extremely difficult in terms of scansion and rhythm to fit a musical framework around so many words

And every other songwriter I have met in this industry says that my overworded songs are utterly and totally absurd

I am a prolix songwriter; I've had a very hard time

Fitting such an extraordinarily and unnecessarily large number of syllables into the highly limited confines of a line

I’ll be honest with you I’ve been writing these overstuffed lyrics since I was 14 or 15 years old, it’s been really tough on me

Means that I have to work 7 or 8 or 9 times as hard as any other songwriter to earn exactly the same goddamn royalty fee

And I know that I’m probably being an idiot and it has something to do with my anxiety and I’m totally confused and I really don’t know

And all I can do is sit here and wish to heaven that I could simply go

La la la la

La la la la la

Like Kylie Minogue

But I am a prolix songwriter; I've had a very hard time

Fitting such an extraordinarily and unnecessarily large number of syllables into the highly limited confines of a line

I am a prolix songwriter; I've had a very hard time

Cause sometimes my velocity is so over the top that I have to try my absolute utmost and squeeze me eyes shut and think way way way back into the past as far as I possibly can if I can even hope to remember the word with which I was supposed to ………. Rhyme.
