Song About a Song - Oliver Hart

Weird side!

Ladies and germs!

It’s my pleasure to introduce to you

Your leader and savior, Oliver Hart!

I just wanna send a special, special thank you today

Anyone who donated a little of something in the collection can

God won’t forget you

Now see, this next song is a song about writing this song

Now I’m not some profound visionary but this specific incision didn’t

particularily take too long

I was just running up these backstage stairs

And suddenly it dawned on me

What a good idea, true inspiration

But with no pen or paper to record the creation

I aborted the plans of grand innovation

And stood bored pacing on the wood floor waiting for more wars to pour from my

cranium

Maybe I’m not cut out for this writing gig, I thought for a brief second

But then it was like the lightning hit through me in a complete headspin

And kept punching me with phrases concepts rhyme patterns and song structures

A long flux that dropped fire 'til I was finally finished

And in a matter of minutes consciousness is linked with the inventive infinite

And one of my friends happened to have a pen

So I wrote it all down on my hand

That was that

Thank you

We’re just gonna

Thank you thank you

We’re just gonna pass the collection can around one more time

Try to find it in your pockets and hearts to donate all your money

God won’t forget you
