The Prolix Song.

I really strongly and vehemently wish I could write songs that had less lyrics in them,
But every time I sit down and try to write a song my head starts to overflow ive got so very many things I wanna say,
It becomes extremely difficult in terms scandulent rythm to fit a musical framework around so very many words,
and every other songwriter Ive ever met in this industry says that my overwordy songs are utterly and totally absurd.

CHORUS:
Im a prolix songwriter i have a very hard time,
fitting such an extraordinarily and unnecessarily large number of syllables into the highly limited confines of a line.

I'll be honest with you ive been writing these overstuffed lyrics ever since i was 14 or 15 years old its been really tough on me,
it means i have to work 7 or 8 or 9 times as hard as any other songwriter to earn exactly the same god damn royalty fee,
and i know im being an idiot and its probly got something to do with my anxiety and im totally confused and i really dont know,
and all i can do is sit here and wish to high heaven i could simply go la la la la la la la la la like Kylie Minogue.

CHORUS:
But, Im a prolix songwriter i have a very hard time,
fitting such an extraordinarily and unnecessarily large number of syllables into the highly limited confines of a line.

Im a prolix songwriter i have a very hard time, coz' sometimes my verbosity is so over the top that i have try my absolute upmost and squeeze my eyes shut and think Way way Way back into the past as far as i possibly can so that i can even hope to remember the word with which i was supposed to..oh fuck..lalalala, minogue... ooh, RHYME!!
