Number Three — текст песни (they might be giants)

Theres only two songs in me and I just wrote the third

Dont know where I got the inspiration or how I wrote the words

Spent my whole life just digging up my musics shallow grave

For the two songs in me and the third one I just made



A rich man once told me

"hey lifes a funny thing"

A poor man once told me

That he cant afford to speak

Now Im in the middle like a bird without a beak cause



Theres just two songs in me and I just wrote the third

Dont know where I got the inspiration or how I wrote the words

Spent my whole life just digging up my musics shallow grave

For the two songs in me and the third one I just made



So I went to the president

And I asked old whats-his-name

Has he ever gotten writers block

Or something like the same

He just started talking

Like he was on tv

"if theres just two songs in ya, boy

Whaddaya want from me? "



So I bought myself some denim pants

And a silver guitar

But I politely told the ladies

"youll still have to call me sir

Because I have to keep my self-respect

Ill never be a star

Since theres just two songs in me

And this is number three"
