lyrics
He's the guy that you listen to singing his songs
Just because he's there
And you clap at the end because everybody does
But nobody really cares
'Cos he's the so-so songwriter
He doesn't touch your soul
Yes he's the ho-hum songwriter
And it's not for lack of trying
But there's really no denying it at all
He's so-so...
Have a drink at the bar, he's your very best friend
He's interesting and polite
And he's great for a chat, but you always hope that
He won't play his guitar tonight
'Cos he's the so-so songwriter
He doesn't touch your soul
Yes he's the ho-hum songwriter
And it's not for lack of trying
But there's really no denying it at all
He's so-so...
So sick of hiding it
It's really so unfair
He's so-so...
Just because he's there
And you clap at the end because everybody does
But nobody really cares
'Cos he's the so-so songwriter
He doesn't touch your soul
Yes he's the ho-hum songwriter
And it's not for lack of trying
But there's really no denying it at all
He's so-so...
Have a drink at the bar, he's your very best friend
He's interesting and polite
And he's great for a chat, but you always hope that
He won't play his guitar tonight
'Cos he's the so-so songwriter
He doesn't touch your soul
Yes he's the ho-hum songwriter
And it's not for lack of trying
But there's really no denying it at all
He's so-so...
So sick of hiding it
It's really so unfair
He's so-so...
