lyrics

SONGWRITER'S BLOCK

I've got songwriter's block.
I just can't start but if I can I'll never stop.
I've got songwriter's block.
I'm afraid I'll drop before returning to the top.

My mind is a blank, like a blank slate.
My pen's dried up and so have my ideas.
I've nothing to say, like on a silent date.
All that remains are self doubt and fears.

I've got songwriter's block…

I hope one day to recharge my battery.
At the moment it's as flat as the Dutch scenery.
He's like a general who can't locate a war.

I've got songwriter's block…

Have I finally lost? Have I finally lost
My songwriter’s block? …Not yet!

I've got songwriter's block…

On the subjects of love, madness and death
I can't think what to say that's not already said.
I'll pick up my pen and take a deep breath
Before dragging lyrics screaming from the back of my head.
