I'm writing my words like the fool that I am
Try and say something good like the person
But it's all just a sham, 'cos a writer I am not
Could say anything, you'd believe them
Just your atypical boy-girl, girl-boy
Androgynous, play on a publican's decoy
Cos I had to drop out, 'cos the art school was sad
And if you believe all of that you're a bigger fool than me

The lyrics aren't supposed to mean that much (ooh-ee-ooh)
They're just a vehicle for a lovely voice (ooh-ee-ooh)
They aren't supposed to mean that much (ooh-oh)

Lyrics mean nothing, don't right any wrongs
In fact I'm not having them on this
You say they mean nothing, just gobbledygook
But just look at yourself, you're not clever enough
Understanding the truth you are so out of touch
(Words, they don't mean nothing much and I don't care)
You believe all of this, you can't see it's a spoof
Understand all the words when they don't even rhyme
And I'm losing the rhythm and the whole thing's getting weirder and weirder

The lyrics aren't supposed to mean that much (ooh-ee-ooh)
They're just a vehicle for a lovely voice (ooh-ee-ooh)
They aren't supposed to mean that much (ooh-oh)

Ah-ah, the lyrics aren't supposed to mean that much (ooh-ee-ooh)
They're just a vehicle for a lovely voice (ooh-ee-ooh)
They aren't supposed to mean that much (ooh-oh)

They all believe me, it's all so easy now...

The lyrics aren't supposed to mean that much (ooh-ee-ooh)
They're just a vehicle for a lovely voice (ooh-ee-ooh)
They aren't supposed to mean that much (ooh-oh)

Ah-oh, the lyrics aren't supposed to mean that much (ooh-ee-ooh)
They're just a vehicle for a lovely voice (ooh-ee-ooh)
They aren't supposed to mean that much (ooh-oh)
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
