about

Challenged to write a song in the style of the wonderful Mark Morriss, this is a pale imitation of his wit and musicianship.

lyrics

It's so very kind to give me your attention;
I promise to spend it on something nice.
In return I offer this fine invitation
On which you cannot put a price

I won't leave you disappointed,
No I won't leave you at all.
When the spectre of missed appointments
Sees you lurking in the hall.

Because when it all comes to nothing,
You're as safe as you can be -
Because when it all turns out to be nothing
You can always rely on me.


I'm the life and soul of every political party
Where speakers corner common ground.
My eloquence is especially when I'm in a park,
And there's no-one else around.

I' know what I'm going to say
I've got my speech down pat -
You may say I wrote this days ago,
But I can't attest to that.

And when I'm saying nothing
I'm as clear as I can be;
Because when it all comes to nothing,
You can always rely on me

I want to keep you from the Shocking and awful
Rendering the ordinary.
Telling of tales both frankly and lawful
But never precautionary.

I'm aware this all might seem a trifle hard,
But I bear this weight on my shoulder.
You may ask have I lived a rewarding life?
I'll have to tell you when I'm older.

I won't leave you unexpected -
I won't leave you till I've gone.
The experience collected
Means we all can carry on.

And when you're left with nothing,
I'll have given you the lot
Because when it all comes down to nothing,
That's pretty much all I've got.
