about

this song is cursed

lyrics

one day I'm going to be somebody
yeah just you wait and see
going to make myself a lot of money
and everyone will want me

and I'm going to set the world to rights
in my perfection fights the good fight
to the ordinary people I'll a hero be

but I just can't get started
I can't figure out why
I just can't get started
I...

baby I've got big ideas to tell you
I know you're going to want to hear
and we will be so good together
when to me you want to be near

and when I'm there I'll show you things
of which you've never seen the like
the only thing that's stopping me is that

I just can't get started
I've been like this for years
I just can't get started
I don't know what it is

I've had my share of opportunities I must admit
but nothing ever seems to turn out right
how is it that fulfilment for me can be oh so hard to find
when in my mind my greatness does the world bestride

I thought I was waiting for the train
but it turns out that I'm tied to the tracks
listening to that old whistle blowing

and I just can't get started
I just can't get started
I just can't get started
so could you maybe help me out

Robin Elliott London, UK

Extraordinary songwriter and performer.

Funnier and more self-deprecating than this makes me sound.

Forthcoming album There is a Land is awash with novel narrative strategies and novelty Brexit tunes.
