lyrics

Music kills

I’m gonna sing this song until I croak
A song don’t care if I’m rich or broke
I’ll be an old man going out of tune
I’ll be a madman howling at the moon
So I’ll keep playing, I’ll keep playing
‘cos music kills me
it empties me out then refills me
cos music slays me
it can stop this poor heart and raise me

Can’t stop the notes from dancing round my brain
Can’t stop the words from falling down like rain
It’s all I am and all ‘ll ever be
I’ll strum this box ‘til there’s nothing left of me
So I’ll keep singing, I’ll keep singing

Silence has never been my thing; listening to Jolson, Coward and the King.
