Artist & Repertoire Lyrics

Richard Swift Artist & Repertoire

sorry, mr. swift
but there's no radio
that likes to play the songs
of your lover's sorrow
just sing us a jingle
and we'll float you some bread
all it will cost you
is your heart and your head

sorry, mr. swift
but you're much too fat
and could i persuade you
just to wear a cap?
i hope you forgive me
and i hope you forget
the hurt that i've caused you
that you can't feel yet

sorry, mr. swift
i know times are tough
we all have plenty
still we don't have enough
i know it's not funny
so i'll try not to smile
we made you believe
that we were worth your while

sorry, everybody
for the things i said
got a wife and kids
and a gun to my head
so try to remember
try to hold it near
my name will go missing
but the songs will be here
no, don't you feel sorry
for i must pay my debts
still feel like i'm losing
but i'm placing my bets
