Lyrics
My friend here said that I should write a song,
And once I'd written for him I moved on
To bigger chords and more complex rhyming schemes,
And I now I think that I should really try again, again.
It's hard to say in such a short amount of time,
When every single line has got to rhyme,
I think that I can work it out this time.
Now, it's not just a phase,
All I do these days is put my friends into song,
Playing keys and writing lines of writing wrongs,
And how they're such lovely people and I'd never live without them in the end.
So wait five more years then look for me one day,
And when you've found me just walk up to me and say,
Remember me, I'm Jakey P, I'm everything I want to be,
And I think you should try to put me into song,
Playing keys and writing lines of writing wrongs,
And how I'm such a lovely person and you'd never live without me in the end,
I'll always be your friend.
