Paperback Writer Songtext
von Swan Arcade

Dear sir and madam, will you read my book?
It took me years to write, will you take a look?
Based on a novel by a man named Lear
And I need a job
I wanna be a paperback writer
Paperback writer

It′s a dirty story of a dirty man
And his clinging wife doesn't understand
His son is working for the Daily Mail
It′s a steady job
But he wants to be a paperback writer
Paperback writer

Paperback writer

It's a thousand pages, give or take a few
I'll be writing more in a week or two
I can make it longer if you like the style
I can change it ′round
I wanna be a paperback writer
Paperback writer

If you really like it you can have the rights
It could make a million for you overnight
If you must return it you can send it here
But I need a break
I wanna be a paperback writer
