Lyrics - An Open Letter To The Lyrical Trainspotter by Mansun

I'm writing these words like the fool that
I am
Trying to say somethinggood like the person (
I am)
But it's all just a sham 'cos the writer
I amnot
Could say anything, you'd believe them
Just your
A-typical
Boy-girl-girl-boy androgynous
Play on a publican's decoy'
Cos
I had todrop out 'cos the
Art
School was sad and
If you believe all of thatyou're a bigger fool than me
The lyrics aren't supposed to mean thatmuch
They're just a vehicle for a lovely voice
They aren't supposed tomean that much
Lyrics mean nothing, don't right any wrongs
In fact
I'mnot having them on this
You say they mean nothing just gobbledy-gook
Butjust look at yourself you're not clever enough
Understanding the truth,you are so out of touch
You believe all of this, you can't see it's aspoof
Understand all the words when they don't even rhyme
And
I'm losingthe rhythm and the whole thing's getting wierder and wierder
The lyricsaren't supposed to mean that much
They're just a vehicle for a lovelyvoice
They aren't supposed to mean that much
The lyrics aren't supposedto mean that much
They're just a vehicle for a lovely voice
They aren'tsupposed to mean that much
They all believe me
It's all so easy now
Thelyrics aren't supposed to mean that much
They're just a vehicle for alovely voice
They aren't supposed to mean that much
The lyrics aren'tsupposed to mean that much
They're just a vehicle for a lovely voice
Theyaren't supposed to mean that much
