Why is it that song lyrics sometimes just seem so clever? They don't even have to be profound or great poetry; witty will do, and sometimes it's not even that. Anyway, here are two of my current favourites. First, Pixie Lott:
I got your emails
You just don't get females now, do you?
Classic. Just for rhyming "emails" and "females" really. And then Robbie Williams:
I've been doing what I like, when I like, how I like
It was joyless.
Maybe that's a bit more profound, though hard to be too serious about against the '50s do-wop backing. And Robbie has one of my all time favourites too:
I'm contemplating, thinking about thinking
It's overrated, let's get another drink in
Maybe not something to aspire to, but for all that it's always strangely reminded me of the book of Ecclesiastes. But that's another story.
