A Seldom Nine Songtext
von Lemonade Sin
A Seldom Nine Songtext
I like writing poetry
I keep it under wraps
If I put it on display
You′d rightly call it crap
The seldom praised are praised indeed
I dish out plaudits by the stack
Applaud half-written, nowhere tunes
But never cut myself the slack
But today I did it right
Tapped into some lost goldmine
I specialise in messing up
Flattery's no friend of mine
Friend of mine, friend of mine
I like singing to myself
The tunes from in my head
If someone comes in the room
I cut myself off dead
I listen and give two stars and a wish
I wish that we could all be stars
But crushing doubt will cripple me
Drown my voice in loud guitars
But today I did it right
Tapped into some lost goldmine
I specialise in messing up
Flattery′s no friend of mine
But today I did it right
Feel the shivers down my spine
Finish this day on an up
Award myself a seldom nine
Seldom nine. Seldom nine
I keep it under wraps
If I put it on display
You′d rightly call it crap
The seldom praised are praised indeed
I dish out plaudits by the stack
Applaud half-written, nowhere tunes
But never cut myself the slack
But today I did it right
Tapped into some lost goldmine
I specialise in messing up
Flattery's no friend of mine
Friend of mine, friend of mine
I like singing to myself
The tunes from in my head
If someone comes in the room
I cut myself off dead
I listen and give two stars and a wish
I wish that we could all be stars
But crushing doubt will cripple me
Drown my voice in loud guitars
But today I did it right
Tapped into some lost goldmine
I specialise in messing up
Flattery′s no friend of mine
But today I did it right
Feel the shivers down my spine
Finish this day on an up
Award myself a seldom nine
Seldom nine. Seldom nine
