William, It Was Really Nothing
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.
The rain falls hard on a humdrum town
This town has dragged you down
Oh, the rain falls hard on a humdrum town
This town has dragged you down
And everybody's got to live their life
And God knows I've got to live mine
God knows I've got to live mine
William, William it was really nothing
William, William it was really nothing
(It was your life)
How can you stay with a fat girl
Who'll say
Would you like to marry me?
And if you like you can buy the ring
She doesn't care about anything
Would you like to marry me?
And if you like you can buy the ring
I don't dream about anyone
(Except myself)
William, William it was really nothing
William, William
