Every Song's the Same

Let me teach you how to write a song
 The first line must be brief but strong
 And the second line should rhyme
 With something in your baby's heart
 Something that they know but cannot name
 And in that way every song's the same
 Let me show you how to write a tune
 The first note should mean the world to you
 And the second one should come
 Like an arrow out of a dream
 Something only hit by the singer's aim
 And in that way every tune's the same
 So go ahead please, throw away the rules and seize
 Whatever it is you need to say
 Cos I'm dying here trying to find something that I can play
 So let me hear it, play it loud
 Pull me into that sweet sleepwalking crowd
 With that single thing
 That's everything you've wanted to scream
 Since the obscene beginning of time
