I Write the B-Sides Lyrics
I write the B-sides
That make a small portion of the world cry
I like the seaside
And singin' songs that make you not wanna die
Throw a stone into the sea
And wait for it to come back to me
Better get out on the boat
'Cause someone told me that stones don't float
I like to sit out back
And look up at the squirrels in the trees
They don't like radio tracks
And they don't ever talk down to me
Throw a nut up in the tree
Gonna fall right back on me
Well, these guys know who they are
And what they need's in their own backyard
Ooh
Ooh
I like to play in the snow
I stick my hand in; now where did it go?
It might be mighty cold
But that's all part of not doin' what you're told
That make a small portion of the world cry
I like the seaside
And singin' songs that make you not wanna die
Throw a stone into the sea
And wait for it to come back to me
Better get out on the boat
'Cause someone told me that stones don't float
And look up at the squirrels in the trees
They don't like radio tracks
And they don't ever talk down to me
Throw a nut up in the tree
Gonna fall right back on me
Well, these guys know who they are
And what they need's in their own backyard
Ooh
I stick my hand in; now where did it go?
It might be mighty cold
But that's all part of not doin' what you're told

He doesn't "write the songs that make the world sing" like that so-called famous singer, but having his little audience is good enough for him. And it sounds like the little things in life make him happy, and he knows.
Good times. : - D
Why this song doesn't appear on the new two-CD "B-sides, Soundtracks, Rarities and Unreleased" compilation is beyond me. They had room for three versions of "My Beloved Monster" but not for this song?
some lines of this song reminds me of when I was a kid. I love it.
