”The Mayor of Simpleton” (versuri/lyrics) Melodie de: XTC Never been near a university Never took a paper or a learning degree And some of your friends think that’s stupid of me But it’s nothing that I care about Well, I don’t know how to tell the weight of the sun And of mathematics, well, I want none And I may be the mayor of Simpleton But I know one thing, and that’s I love you When their logic grows cold and all thinking gets done You’ll be warm in the arms of the mayor of Simpleton I can’t have been there when brains were handed ‘round (Please, be upstanding for the mayor of Simpleton) Or get past the cover of your books profound (Please, be upstanding for the mayor of Simpleton) And some of your friends think it’s really unsound (some of your friends) That you’re even seen talking to […]
