Blaxican Records: Music

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

I've heard a few different interpretations of this song, and most of them apply in one way or another. The real meaning is that I've only ever been successful in writing love songs about one specific person. I realized this when other people (people I should be able to write love songs about) ask me to write them something and I'm unable to. It causes some tension in the relationship... The song is about the unhealthy attachment I feel to these love songs because of who they represent - and that's not the person I'm with when I write them. Scandalous!

I’ve walked a long, lonely road

From the day you went and left me so cold

I’ve been trying to find the time

Just to feel a little peace of mind

 

But, it seems I can’t love nothing but a love song

So, bury me with my six string when I’m gone

 

You were wondering where I’d been

I couldn’t lie to you, baby, no, but, I couldn’t give in

Then you told me with tears in your eyes

Tonight’s gonna be the last time

Well it seems I can’t love nothing but a love song

So, bury me with my six string when I’m gone

No, I just can’t love nothing but a love song

So, bury me with my six string when I’m gone

 

Well it seems I can’t love nothing but a love song

So, bury me with my six string when I’m gone

No, I’ll never love nothing but a sad, sad love song

So, bury me with my six string when I’m gone
