There's only two songs in me and I just wrote the third
Don't know where I got the inspiration or how I wrote the words
Spent my whole life just digging up my music's shallow grave
For the two songs in me and the third one I just made
A rich man once told me
"Hey life's a funny thing"
A poor man once told me
That he can't afford to speak
Now I'm in the middle like a bird without a beak 'cause
There's just two songs in me and I just wrote the third
Don't know where I got the inspiration or how I wrote the words
Spent my whole life just digging up my music's shallow grave
For the two songs in me and the third one I just made
So I went to the President
And I asked old what's-his-name
Has he ever gotten writer's block
Or something like the same
He just started talking
Like he was on TV
"If there's just two songs in ya, boy
Whaddaya want from me?"
So I bought myself some denim pants
And a silver guitar
But I politely told the ladies
"You'll still have to call me Sir
Because I have to keep my self-respect
I'll never be a star
Since there's just two songs in me
And this is Number Three"

They Might Be Giants sono un duo alternative pop/rock formatosi nel 1982 da John Linnell e John Flansburgh. Originari di Lincoln, Massachusetts, i due si sono conosciuti al liceo prima di intraprendere strade diverse dopo la laurea. Si sono riuniti a New York, dove hanno dato vita al gruppo.

Il loro successo più grande è stato "Birdhouse in Your Soul", un brano che ha raggiunto la top 10 delle classifiche americane nel 1992. Tra gli album più importanti figurano "Flood" (1990), "Here Come the ABCs" (2009) e "Why Does the Sun Shine?" (2015).
