"The Burden Of A Song" lyrics - MAGAZINE

My bitterness is gleaming
My goodness is screaming
Are you feeling prone?
Are you really heading home?

(So much) So much for my goodness and my bitterness
(So much) So much for the burden of a song
(Just give me the sound of something) Just give me the sound of something
And let me sing along

Please stand back and let me sing along
In my clean pullover
The great composer
But a consolation prize
Still you're batting your eyes
You want us to take flight?
But you're standing in my light

(So much) So much for my goodness and my bitterness
(So much) So much for the burden of a song
(Just give me the sound of something) Just give me the sound of something
And let me sing along

Let's fly away to the world
Let the impressive truth take the strain
From everywhere to the future
From genitals to brain and back again

Let's fly away to the world
Let the impressive truth take the strain
We'll go from everywhere to the future
We'll puff it up, we'll fluff it up

My bitterness is gleaming
And my goodness is screaming
You want us to take flight
But you're standing in my light

(So much) So much for my goodness and my bitterness
(So much) So much for the burden of a song
(Just give me the sound of something) Just give me the sound of something
And let me sing along
