The Lyrics

Singer/Songwriter!

Dear record buyer, I've a disc out soon
With songs about true lurve, stars and harvest moons
And folky/easy list'ning/jazz-lite style
It's Manhattan blues...by the next-big-thingy Singer/Songwriter!
Singer/Songwriter!

I can play pianner, mandolin and lute
For an ethnic feel, Tibetan nasal-flute!
My new producer once made tea for Sting
So it's a sure thing, that I'll be a famous Singer/Songwriter!
Singer/Songwriter!

Singer/Songwriter! (shite-ah, shite-ah)

I'm a people's poetess who's at her peak
You can check me out; just watch Dawson's Creek
I can do acoustic, all I need's a stool
You can f**k off, Jewelcoz I am the bestest Singer/Songwriter!
Singer/Songwriter!

Norah Jones wants to do a duetho hum!
The biatch don't know why I didn't come
Down in SoHo/Greenwich Village sushi bars
I'm the star of stars, and an oh-so-noughties Singer/Songwriter!

Singer/Songwriter! (shite-ah, shite-ah)

Singer/Songwriter.Singer/Songwriter..

Splendid. Superb job, Kristof. I love "Norah Jones wants to do a duet…ho hum!/The biatch don't know why I didn't come" ROFL!

"My new producer once made tea for Sting"... :-D And extra kudos for fitting in a Tibetan nasal flute.

Tibetan nasal flute solos has never been big in Metal or Grunge but who knows, they might be the next big thing, unless Madonna gets her (censored) lips around them first.

ah, maybe out of everything, it's your sarcasm I love best, Kristof, and that's despite owning a box-set of "Tibetan Nasal Flute Classic Oldies" - am I stupid, or is there a reference here to Katie Holmes? - 555

About time somebody took a shot at that brand of pseudo-jazz for the Starbucks crowd. Three fives!

Good job. 555 As you can see I try to give credit where credit is due. I never seek revenge, just the truth. I took your comments to my song as constructive. So, I thank you for those comments.

Adagio: Carefree air? I like it..;-).......Jeff: That's how I've always spelt it.......Alvin: Thankyou kindly.....Charlie: The Norah Jones was the first line I came up with, and I built the parody around it.....Phil: Well, my nose is just about big enough!.....Rick: Aww, heck; cheers!.....Paul: Thank yaah!....Peter: I'd love to see the next System Of A Down single feature a bit of nasal-fluting (and a Madonna solo as well, come to think of it!).....AFW: Cheers, Mr Farcewon.....Stu: a) I've always been a sarky bass turd, b) If you put it on eBay, I'll buy it, and c) Not Ms Holmes as such; it's just that Dawsons Creek soundtracks always feature sappy, angst-ridden singer/songwriters......Mac: Thanks (I think?)....Olvan: hallelujah, brother! Long live loud, meaningless music!....SND: Thanks for being so magnanimous. I only give criticism that I hope is constructive.....Agri: GRAZIE!!

I've got one hand in my pocket, and the other hand typing up three fives.

(ABC-S05) Yeesh! I feel like I've been reading SOTM entries rather than ABC stuff! This is excellent with TMGLTM, quite a feat for a 2 minute long song. 555.

(S) still packs a nice cynical punch, KR - and actually who was the other Dawson's Creek chick? - the un-Holmes one, with the blonde hair - coz she had singer/songwriter pretensions didn't she?

I like this. I had trouble pacing one line, but I guess it was just me. I like the word "Pianner" for some reason... 555

(ABC05) "My new producer once made tea for Sting", among others, hit my funny bone.
