[00:00.60]Artist:xtc [00:01.16]Songs Title:the mayor of simpleton [00:03.12] [00:07.86]Never been near a university, [00:11.10] [00:14.66]Never took a paper or a learned degree, [00:17.97] [00:21.40]And some of your friends think thats stupid of me, [00:24.24]But its nothing that I care about. [00:27.52]Well I dont know how to tell the weight of the sun, [00:31.16]And of mathematics well I want none, [00:34.85]And I may be the mayor of simpleton, [00:38.13]But I know one thing, [00:41.28]And thats I love you. [00:44.31] [00:45.12]When their logic grows cold and all thinking gets done, [00:48.52]Youll be warm in the arms of the mayor of simpleton. [00:55.89] [00:59.38]cant I have been there when brains were handed round [01:02.19](please be upstanding for the mayor of simpleton), [01:06.25]Or get past the cover of your books profound, [01:09.49](please be upstanding for the mayor of simpleton), [01:13.33]And some of your friends thinks its really unsound, [01:16.45]That youre ever seen talking to me. [01:19.20]Well I dont know how to write a big hit song, [01:23.11]And all crossword puzzles well I just shun, [01:26.48]And I may be the mayor of simpleton, [01:29.85]But I know one thing, [01:32.85]And thats I love you. [01:35.77] [01:36.46]Im not proud of the fact that I never learned much, [01:40.20]Just feel I should say, [01:42.89] [01:43.82]What you get is all real, [01:45.26]I cant put on an act, [01:47.13]It takes brains to do that anyway. (and anyway...) [01:52.09]And I cant unravel riddles, problems and puns, [01:55.77]How the home computer has me on the run, [01:59.17]And I may be the mayor of simpleton, [02:02.60]But I know one thing, [02:05.35]And thats I love you (I love you). [02:13.57]If depth of feeling is a currency, [02:16.86](please be upstanding for the mayor of simpleton), [02:20.56]Then Im the man who grew the money tree, [02:23.30](no chain of office and no hope of getting one). [02:27.11]Some of your friends are too brainy to see, [02:30.11]That theyre paupers and thats how theyll stay. [02:33.29]Well I dont know how many pounds make up a ton, [02:36.92]Of all the nobel prizes that Ive never won, [02:40.23]And I may be the mayor of simpleton, [02:43.85]But I know one thing, [02:46.90]And thats I love you. [02:50.83]When all logic grows cold and all thinking gets done, [02:54.26]Youll be warm in the arms of the mayor of simpleton. [03:01.24]Youll be warm in the arms of the mayor of simpleton. [03:07.42] [03:08.10]Youll be warm in the arms of the mayor. [03:18.20](please be upstanding for the mayor of simpleton.) [03:24.40]
