The Mayor Of Simpleton

In the style of

XTC

Lyrics

never been near
a university
never took a paper
or a learned degree

and some
of your friends think
that's stupid of me
but it's nothing
that i care about

well i don't know
how to tell
the weight of the sun
and of mathematics
well i want none

and i may be the
mayor of simpleton
but i know
one thing and that's
i love you

when their logic
grows cold and
all thinking gets done
you'll be warm in
the arms of the
mayor of simpleton

i can't have been there
when brains were
handed 'round
or get past the cover
of your books
profound

and some
of your friends think
it's really unsound
that you're even seen
talking to me

well i don't know how
to write a big hit song
and all
crossword puzzles
well i just shun

and i may be the
mayor of simpleton
but i know
one thing and that's
i love you

i'm not proud
of the fact that
i never learned much
just feel i should say

what you get
is all real
i can't put on an act
it takes brains
to do that anyway

and i can't unravel
riddles problems
and puns
how the
home computer
has me on the run

and i may be the
mayor of simpleton
but i know
one thing and that's
i love you

if depth of feeling
is a currency
then i'm the man who
grew the money tree

some of your friends
are too brainy to see
that they're paupers
and that's how
they'll stay

well i don't know
how many pounds
make up a ton
of all the
nobel prizes
that i've never won

and i may be the
mayor of simpleton
but i know
one thing and that's
i love you

when all logic
grows cold and
all thinking gets done
you'll be warm
in the arms of the
mayor of simpleton

you'll be warm
in the arms of the
mayor of simpleton
you'll be warm
in the arms of the
mayor

please be
upstanding
for the
mayor of simpleton
please be
upstanding
for the
mayor of simpleton

please be
upstanding
for the
mayor of simpleton
please be
upstanding
for the
mayor of simpleton

please be
upstanding
for the
mayor of simpleton
