- An Open Letter To The Lyrical Trainspotter Lyrics / with translationsI'm writing these words like the fool that I amTrying to say something
good like the person (I am)But it's all just a sham 'cos the writer I am
notCould say anything, you'd believe themJust your A-typical
Boy-girl-girl-boy androgynousPlay on a publican's decoy'Cos I had to
drop out 'cos the Art School was sad andIf you believe all of that
you're a bigger fool than me The lyrics aren't supposed to mean that
muchThey're just a vehicle for a lovely voiceThey aren't supposed to
mean that much Lyrics mean nothing, don't right any wrongsIn fact I'm
not having them on thisYou say they mean nothing just gobbledy-gookBut
just look at yourself you're not clever enoughUnderstanding the truth,
you are so out of touchYou believe all of this, you can't see it's a
spoofUnderstand all the words when they don't even rhymeAnd I'm losing
the rhythm and the whole thing's getting wierder and wierder The lyrics
aren't supposed to mean that muchThey're just a vehicle for a lovely
voiceThey aren't supposed to mean that much The lyrics aren't supposed
to mean that muchThey're just a vehicle for a lovely voiceThey aren't
supposed to mean that much They all believe meIt's all so easy now The
lyrics aren't supposed to mean that muchThey're just a vehicle for a
lovely voiceThey aren't supposed to mean that much The lyrics aren't
supposed to mean that muchThey're just a vehicle for a lovely voiceThey
aren't supposed to mean that much
good like the person (I am)But it's all just a sham 'cos the writer I am
notCould say anything, you'd believe themJust your A-typical
Boy-girl-girl-boy androgynousPlay on a publican's decoy'Cos I had to
drop out 'cos the Art School was sad andIf you believe all of that
you're a bigger fool than me The lyrics aren't supposed to mean that
muchThey're just a vehicle for a lovely voiceThey aren't supposed to
mean that much Lyrics mean nothing, don't right any wrongsIn fact I'm
not having them on thisYou say they mean nothing just gobbledy-gookBut
just look at yourself you're not clever enoughUnderstanding the truth,
you are so out of touchYou believe all of this, you can't see it's a
the rhythm and the whole thing's getting wierder and wierder The lyrics
aren't supposed to mean that muchThey're just a vehicle for a lovely
voiceThey aren't supposed to mean that much The lyrics aren't supposed
to mean that muchThey're just a vehicle for a lovely voiceThey aren't
supposed to mean that much They all believe meIt's all so easy now The
lyrics aren't supposed to mean that muchThey're just a vehicle for a
lovely voiceThey aren't supposed to mean that much The lyrics aren't
supposed to mean that muchThey're just a vehicle for a lovely voiceThey
aren't supposed to mean that much
