Sometimes I wish I sang a little better but I don't. |
|
Might be a frog in my throat, |
|
Or a lapse in my brain |
|
Must be a wrong guitar chord in the refrain. |
|
Sometimes I wish I sang a little better - |
|
I sound so fine in my head |
|
But when I hear that tape played back to me |
|
It sounds like someone else entirely. |
|
And whoever says you need to sing well |
|
Has never heard Stephen Pastel |
|
And it's sincerity that gets me |
|
Just like Bernard Sumner on "Love Vigilantes" |
|
Sometimes I wish I sang a little better |
|
Maybe just a little more control |
|
Maybe just a little sharper on the flat notes |
|
Sometimes I wish I sang a little better than I do |
|
Still I won't be deterred by you |
|
When all my favourite singers are challenged vocally too |
|
And whoever says you need to sing well |
|
Has never heard Kleenex Girl Wonder |
|
And it's sincerity that moves me |
|
Just like Feargal Sharkey or The Legendary Jim Ruiz |
|
And whoever says you need to sing well |
|
Has never heard Stephen Pastel |
|
And it's sincerity that moves me |
|
Just like Calvin Johnson or Feargal Sharkey |
|
And whoever says, "Let someone else sing" |
|
Has no idea how much it hurts |
|
Letting someone else destroy your words |
|
I'll sing the things that I want in the way that I want to. |
