Bandstarter
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I think I'm gonna start a band
The great depression is at hand
People will mourn across the land
Yeah, I'm gonna start a band
Or maybe I should write a book
And let the critics have a look
They'll hail me as the new James Joyce
The audience won't have a choice
But the popstars sing:
You know that I love you
You know that I need you
16 years tomorrow
And I'll never leave you
I'm 17 and tired of my life
Under my pillow is a knife
I'm sick and tired of this world
But yet I haven't kissed a girl
I know this world is full of pain
And yeah, I haven't cried in vain
'Cause my dog died the other day
And nothing can wash my tears away
But the popstars sing:
You know that I love you
You know that I need you
16 years tomorrow
And I'll never leave you
And I won't sing that I love you
I only sing things that are true
And I won't sing no la la la la la
Because I'm not in love with you
But the popstars sing:
You know that I love you
You know that I need you
16 years tomorrow
And I'll never leave you
You know that I love you
You know that I need you
16 years tomorrow
And I'll never leave you
You know that I love you
You know that I need you
16 years tomorrow
And I'll never leave you
