Ladies and gents, well |
|
I take no offence |
|
No, I'm not who you're here to see |
|
And it won't be long till the headliner's on |
|
And then you'll be done with me |
|
So don't rack your brain, no you've not heard my name |
|
Or a single song of mine |
|
And if you need to go potty, well it's out in the lobby |
|
But I'd go now while there's still time ' |
|
Cause I'm the opening act, don't get much time |
|
Maybe four tracks or five at best |
|
So I play only songs that |
|
I hope make you long |
|
To go out and buy the rest |
|
And it is okay if |
|
I choose to be shameless ' |
|
Cause tonight |
|
I'm not getting paid |
|
So as soon as |
|
I'm able I'll be out by my table |
|
Telling you about my |
|
MySpace Well, |
|
I wish I could say with the truth on my face |
|
That the reason |
|
I'm here tonight |
|
Is 'cause they like my songs and they just can't go wrong |
|
Without the opening |
|
I provide |
|
But the truth is |
|
I'm cheap, and |
|
I don't take much space |
|
Because it's just me and my guitar |
|
So when I get to the solo, well |
|
I'm up here alone |
|
So I'll just have to whistle that part |
|
Yeah, I'm the opening act, don't get much time |
|
Maybe four tracks or five at best |
|
So I play only songs that |
|
I hope make you long |
|
To go out and buy the rest |
|
And it is okay if |
|
I choose to be shameless |
|
Did I mention |
|
I'm not getting paid? |
|
So as soon as |
|
I'm able I'll be out by my table |
|
And if you buy a |
|
CD, well you're enabling me |
|
To put bread on my plate, take my wife on a date |
|
Well, I better stop now before you tune me out |
|
But don't forget about my |
|
MySpace |
