paul heaton - i am not a muse lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i am not a muse
i don’t have hits on charts with other people’s bad news
i’m not a series of childish clues that believe cleverly in half truths
i am not a muse, i am not a muse…

i am not some sad jack in anorak or half-cap, high on smack
i am not a muse, i am not a muse, i am not a muse, i am not a muse…

[chorus]
i am not in the band because daddy didn’t understand
i do not gain from others’ pain and then sell it back to them again
i’m not mad or insane
i’m not into early miles davis or john coltrane
i am not a muse, i am not a muse, i am not a muse, i am not a muse, i am not a muse…

[verse 2]
i am not a muse
i do not profess to love the blues
i’m not fit to shine gram parsons’ new soft shoes
i do not mention countless interviews, countless interviews, i am not a muse

i am not a northern star
i do not greet my friends with ‘ay-ups’ and “alright lads”
i don’t sit outside of italian [?star bombs and talk about the lars and the lars and the lars?]

[chorus]

[verse 3]
i am not a muse
i’m not a series of “don’ts and do’s” and “who’s whose” for the middle cl-sses to peruse
i don’t hang with north london crews
i am not a muse, no i ain’t no muse…

i am not a professional southerner
i know i’m not “alright, guv’nor.”
as one m-s-ch-st said to the other, “don’t beat yourself up about it, brother
don’t beat yourself up about it, brother.”

[chorus]

[verse 4]
i did not form a band to get a larger plot of land
it was not engineered or planned to spend a life by sea or sand
to get our tail feathers fanned
i am not a muse, i am not a muse

i am not a muse
i’m not into robert johnson
i don’t love those delta blues, i can feel the breeze but i can’t change a few
i am not a muse, i am not a muse

[chorus variant]
i am not in the band because daddy or mommy didn’t understand
i do not gain from others’ pain and then sell it back to them again
i’m not mad or insane
i’m not into early miles davis or john coltrane
i am not a muse… x16
