Jugband Blues
And I'm wondering who could be writing this song?
You're So Vain
I bet you think this song is about you
Hit Song
All my life I've been looking for a hit song, maybe it is this song
Your Song
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple, but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is, while you're in the world

1999 —
I was dreamin' when I wrote this
Forgive me if it goes astray

Weeping Song
This is a weeping song
A song in which to weep
The Fear
This is our Music from A Bachelors Den
the sound of loneliness turned up to ten.
A horror soundtrack from a stagnant water-bed & it sounds just like this.
This is the sound of someone losing the plot -
making out that they're okay when they're not.
Tribute
This is not the greatest song in the world, no
This is just a tribute
Couldn't remember the greatest song in the world, no, no
This is a tribute, oh
To the greatest song in the world
