Clever Companion - Shakespeare By The Fire Lyrics

Shakespeare sittin' around the fire
Tossin' his work to the flames
Makes you wonder if he were a no-one
Just a guy with a funny name
If it were me I'd barely notice
I've doth not used words before
Does it really have a relevance, baby
When it's just you that I adore

And I've tried poetry
I've tried writing books
I've tried to convince my friends that there's beauty beyond the looks
I've tried embarrassment, man, I've tried shame
All I've ever done is taken the blame

Mozart sittin' by the bay
Throwin' his work into the sea
Makes you wonder if he were born without hands
How bad music could be
And I won't lie, I think you'd notice
Anyone can tell when it's the wrong chord
Still when McCartney came around
The world would still be flawed

I've tried singing
I've tried writing songs
I've tried to convince my friends that they're saying the word wrong
I've tried embarrassment, man, I've tried shame
All I've ever done is taken the blame

Shakespeare sittin' round the fire takin' the blame
Takin' the blame

All I've ever done
All I've ever done
