Chasers - Prolix Songwriter lyrics

rate me

I really strongly evidently wish, 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 many things I want to say

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

And every other songwriter I’ve ever met in this industry says that my over wording songs are utterly and totally absurd

I’m a prolix songwriter, I have a very hard time, fitting such an extraordinary 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 over stuffed lyrics ever since I was 14 or 15 years old, it’s been very tough on me

,means I have to work seven or eight or nine times as hard as any other songwriter to earn exactly the same god damn royalty fee

And I know I’m being and idiot and it probably 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 high heaven I could simply go la la lala la la lalala like Kylie Minogue

But I’m a prolix songwriter, I have a very hard time, fitting such an extraordinary and unnecessarily large number of syllables into the highly limited confines of a line

I’m a prolix songwriter, I have a very hard time, cause sometimes my vivacity is so over the top that I have to try my absolute upmost and squeeze me eyes shut and think way way way back into the past as far as I possibly can so I can even possibly remember the words with which I was supposed to………. Rhyme.
