lyrics

I’m gonna tell a story
But only some of it is true
There’s a believable protagonist
So I might give the role to you

There are parts I don’t remember
And some pages got wet too
But I’ll make it entertaining
Yeah let’s see what I can do

I require your full attention
Listen to the melody
Figure out the recipe

I accept sincere rejection
Send it with telepathy
It doesn’t mean that much to me

I don’t care
What you say
I wasn’t born yesterday
I wasn’t listening anyway
And if you need someone to tell you that you’re right
You better keep looking cos that ain’t me

I start another chapter
I turn another page
There’s someone out to get me
But I don’t recall their name

I was sitting on the pavement
I was holding out my hand
There’s people walking past me
They don’t seem to understand

I expect your whole devotion
I won’t pay the penalty
I’ve got the worst philosophy

I’m annoyed by interruptions
Spread out on the canopy
I’ll get the last apology

I don’t care
What you say
I wasn’t born yesterday
I wasn’t listening anyway
And if you need someone to tell you that you’re right
You better keep looking cos that ain’t me

You see I don’t care
What you say
I wasn’t born yesterday
I wasn’t listening anyway
And if you need someone to tell you that you’re right
You better keep looking
Yeah you better keep looking cos that ain’t me
No that ain’t me
Oh no that ain’t me
That ain’t me babe, that ain’t me

about

Balthazar B Amsterdam, Netherlands

Multiple twists in the road have taken me on a journey from London, through Paris and finally to Amsterdam. I've had the same acoustic guitar on my back for the whole adventure and we must have written hundreds of songs together. I have no doubt we will write hundreds more. ... more
