(Heaton/Rotheray)
No one wrote a song for me
Just instrumental not too long
As sure as sure could ever be
You'd only get the lyrics wrong
No solo Chet Baker ever played
Lowered me slowly to my grave
The prose that Keats and Yates would save
Was for King and Queen not knave
I have no poem that describes my charm
No story told that's short and sweet
I have no hymn, I have no psalm
This song I have it has no beat
Yes it has no beat
No tapping of feet
Yes it has no beat
Miles Davis played the black 'n' blues
Did he play for me to lose?
Cause just when round midnight falls
That tune's not his it's Kenny Ball's
Now on that graveyard on that grave
On that tombstone in the shade
No poem written, no accolade
No "We loved you" ever sprayed
There's just this feeling from that moss
When epitaph you cannot read
He must have lived it at budget cost
So he deserves to be beneath
All that William Robinson wrote
Not one of my pluses did he portray
Those lyrics stuck right down my throat
I never hit
It never hit
My hit parade
The Beautiful South è un gruppo musicale britannico di pop, attivo dal 1989 al 2007. Fondato da Paul Heaton e Dave Hemingway, ex membri degli Housemartins, il gruppo ha raggiunto grande successo negli anni '90 con un sound caratterizzato da melodie orecchiabili, testi ironici e sarcastici e una vena di malinconia. Oltre a Heaton e Hemingway, la formazione includeva Sean Welch (basso), Dave Stead (batteria) e Dave Rotheray (chitarra). Tra i brani più famosi del gruppo figurano "A Little Time", "Don't Marry Her" e "Old Red Eyes Is Back". The Beautiful South ha pubblicato nove album in studio, tra cui il debutto "Welcome to the Beautiful South" (1989) e l'album di successo "Quench" (1994). Il gruppo si è sciolto nel 2007 dopo una lunga carriera segnata da successi commerciali e un seguito fedele.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
