lyrics

Hey
I've finally started writing
My play
Been hard at work for nearly
Ten Days
Ten Days without a break
Not one
Ten days and I've got nothing done
Not one
Not a single word
It's hard you know
I wish I could invent new words

My house is neat
My body's clean
I'm consecrated and complete
And it hurts to know
That I am such a perfect man
And so I forgive you all

Oh no
I have a job. The days move
So slow
Then disappear. Oh, where do
They go?
Sometimes I feel a certain
way
They've gone. There's nothing more to say
Not one
Not a single word
It's hard, you know
Sometimes I feel a certain way

Hard at heart
With inward smart
Which of these sisters will I choose?
And it hurts to know
That I can only choose just one
Isn't love just the neatest thing?

Yes sir
I had a dog. I loved him
For sure
And his eventual
Departure
From this world just left me with
Regret
And so I got another pet
A dog
And I love him twice as much
He's great you know
Maybe someday I'll have a son

(I trust my computer most of all

But what for?)
That team is puttin' up a
Big score
I'm certain that my team will
Do more
The world of sports makes
So much sense
I sit and watch and I'm content
Just one
If I had one chance to play
I'd prove my point
Sometimes I feel a certain way
