Lyrics
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
You know that I love you
You know that I need you
16 Years tomarrow
And I'll never leave
I'm just 16 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
Know this world is full of pain
Oh, yeah, I haven't cried in vain
'Cause my dog died the other day
Nothing can wash the tears away
You know that I love you
You know that I need you
16 Years tomorrow
And I'll never leave
Na, na, na
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
Because I'm not in love with you
You know that I love you
You know that I need you
16 Years tomorrow
And I'll never leave
