The Mayor Of Simpleton


Artist:xtc
Songs Title:the mayor of simpleton

Never been near a university

Never took a paper or a learned degree

And some of your friends think thats stupid of me
But its nothing that I care about
Well I dont know how to tell the weight of the sun
And of mathematics well I want none
And I may be the mayor of simpleton
But I know one thing
And thats I love you

When their logic grows cold and all thinking gets done
Youll be warm in the arms of the mayor of simpleton

I cant have been there when brains were handed round
(please be upstanding for the mayor of simpleton)
Or get past the cover of your books profound
(please be upstanding for the mayor of simpleton)
And some of your friends thinks its really unsound
That youre ever seen talking to me
Well I dont know how to write a big hit song
And all crossword puzzles well I just shun
And I may be the mayor of simpleton
But I know one thing
And thats I love you

Im not proud of the fact that I never learned much
Just feel I should say

What you get is all real
I cant put on an act
It takes brains to do that anyway (and anyway )
And I cant unravel riddles problems and puns
How the home computer has me on the run
And I may be the mayor of simpleton
But I know one thing
And thats I love you (I love you)
If depth of feeling is a currency
(please be upstanding for the mayor of simpleton)
Then Im the man who grew the money tree
(no chain of office and no hope of getting one)
Some of your friends are too brainy to see
That theyre paupers and thats how theyll stay
Well I dont know how many pounds make up a ton
Of all the nobel prizes that Ive never won
And I may be the mayor of simpleton
But I know one thing
And thats I love you
When all logic grows cold and all thinking gets done
Youll be warm in the arms of the mayor of simpleton
Youll be warm in the arms of the mayor of simpleton

Youll be warm in the arms of the mayor
(please be upstanding for the mayor of simpleton )
