No one wrote a song for me |
|
Just instrumental not too long |
|
As sure as sure could ever be |
|
You'd only get the lyrics wrong |
|
No solo Chet Baker ever played |
|
lowered me slowly to my grave |
|
The prose that Keats and Yates would save |
|
was for King and Queen not knave |
|
I have no poem that describes my charm |
|
No story told that's short and sweet |
|
I have no hymn, I have no psalm |
|
This song I have it has no beat |
|
Yes it has no beat |
|
No tapping of feet |
|
Yes it has no beat |
|
Miles Davis played the black 'n' blues |
|
Did he play for me to lose? |
|
Cause just when round midnight falls |
|
That tune's not his it's Kenny Ball's |
|
Now on that graveyard on that grave |
|
On that tombstone in the shade |
|
No poem written, no accolade |
|
No "We loved you" ever sprayed |
|
There's just this feeling from that moss |
|
When epitaph you cannot read |
|
he must have lived it at budget cost |
|
So he deserves to be beneath |
|
All that William Robinson wrote |
|
not one of my pluses did he portray |
|
those lyrics stuck right down my throat |
|
I never hit |
|
It never hit |
|
My hit parade |
