Every Song's The Same
Let me teach you how to write a song
The first line must be brief but strong
And the second line should rhyme
With something in your baby's heart
Something that they know but cannot name
And in that way every song's the same
Let me show you how to write a tune
The first note should mean the world to you
And the second one should come
Like an arrow out of a dream
Something only hit by the singer's aim
And in that way every tune's the same
So go ahead please, throw away the rules and seize
Whatever it is you need to say
Cos I'm dying here trying to find something that I can play
So let me hear it, play it loud
Pull me into that sweet sleepwalking crowd
With that single thing
That's everything you've wanted to scream
Since the obscene beginning of time
