Sgt. Major Lyrics
Wake up Major
And stitch on your hat
You fell outta bed
Then you landed in the cash
So what’s in your diary today?
Call on your main man
What can he do for you?
Hang out with stupid
So you can tell him what to do
Major this is your day
Living alone in a jar never gets you very far
Read your mind
Make you feel alright
Sgt. Major knows what you want
Knows what you are
One day you’ll be a star
Yeah the major knows what you want
Take out your paper
Throw it away
Everything is useless
Ain’t got a lot to say
Major, this is your way
Major is drowning ‘cause he opened his mouth
He starts to explain it
But nothing’s coming out
Major, what can you say
Hope that you like who you are
Cause living alone in a jar never gets you very far
Read your mind
Make you feel alright
Sgt. Major knows what you want
Knows what you are
One day you’ll be a star
Yeah the Major knows what you want
I know you think you made it
I know what I’m meant to say
But while you looked in the mirror
I was getting away
To you there is nothing to say
Read your mind
Make you feel alright
Sgt. Major knows what you want
Knows what you are
One day you’ll be a star
Yeah the major knows what you want
And stitch on your hat
You fell outta bed
Then you landed in the cash
Call on your main man
What can he do for you?
Hang out with stupid
So you can tell him what to do
Major this is your day
Make you feel alright
Sgt. Major knows what you want
Knows what you are
One day you’ll be a star
Yeah the major knows what you want
Throw it away
Everything is useless
Ain’t got a lot to say
Major, this is your way
He starts to explain it
But nothing’s coming out
Major, what can you say
Cause living alone in a jar never gets you very far
Make you feel alright
Sgt. Major knows what you want
Knows what you are
One day you’ll be a star
Yeah the Major knows what you want
I know what I’m meant to say
But while you looked in the mirror
I was getting away
To you there is nothing to say
Make you feel alright
Sgt. Major knows what you want
Knows what you are
One day you’ll be a star
Yeah the major knows what you want

this song is awesome!
This song seems to be about a person who is very vain - he complements himself so much that he "drowns when he opens his mouth". However, he isn't that great, because he's "living in a jar", therefore he won't "get very far". He thinks that one day he'll "be a star".
yeah, very nice description :)
according to iTunes: "Sgt.Major" is a rollicking send-up of an obnoxious pop producer who tried to latch on the band. Jet just gave him the slip, then went on recording their debut album.
