An Open Letter To The Lyrical Trainspotter lyrics
by Mansun



I'm writing these words like the fool that I amTrying to say somethinggood like the person (I am)But it's all just a sham 'cos the writer I amnotCould say anything, you'd believe themJust your A-typicalBoy-girl-girl-boy androgynousPlay on a publican's decoy'Cos I had todrop out 'cos the Art School was sad andIf you believe all of thatyou're a bigger fool than me The lyrics aren't supposed to mean thatmuchThey're just a vehicle for a lovely voiceThey aren't supposed tomean that much Lyrics mean nothing, don't right any wrongsIn fact I'mnot having them on thisYou say they mean nothing just gobbledy-gookButjust 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 aspoofUnderstand all the words when they don't even rhymeAnd I'm losingthe rhythm and the whole thing's getting wierder and wierder The lyricsaren't supposed to mean that muchThey're just a vehicle for a lovelyvoiceThey aren't supposed to mean that much The lyrics aren't supposedto mean that muchThey're just a vehicle for a lovely voiceThey aren'tsupposed to mean that much They all believe meIt's all so easy now Thelyrics aren't supposed to mean that muchThey're just a vehicle for alovely voiceThey aren't supposed to mean that much The lyrics aren'tsupposed to mean that muchThey're just a vehicle for a lovely voiceTheyaren't supposed to mean that much
