Lyrics

Paperback Writer (In Isolation)

Paperback writer (paperback writer) Dear Sir or Madam, will you read my book? It took me years to write, will you take a look? It's based on a novel by a man named Lear And I need a job So I wanna be a paperback writer Paperback writer It's a dirty story of a dirty man And his clinging wife doesn't understand His son is working for the Daily Mail It's a steady job But he wants to be a paperback writer Paperback writer Paperback writer (paperback writer) It's a thousand pages, give or take a few I'll be writing more in a week or two I could make it longer if you like the style I can change it 'round And I wanna be a paperback writer Paperback writer If you really like it you can have the rights It could make a million for you overnight If you must return it you can send it here But I need a break And I wanna be a paperback writer Paperback writer Paperback writer (paperback writer) Paperback writer (paperback writer) Paperback writer (paperback writer) Paperback writer (paperback writer) Paperback writer (paperback writer...)

From Dork

Blossoms on Dork

Blossoms have shared ‘Joke About Divorce’, a pop song born from bad timing

Boys.

Delights have shared frustrated new single 'What's On Your Mind' ahead of their Blossoms support slot

The track arrives ahead of their debut album 'If Heaven Looks A Little Like This', set for release in January 2025.

Blossoms reckon with expectations on their new single, 'Perfect Me': "It's about this perfect being that doesn't exist"

The band's new album is out in September.

Blossoms have released their new single 'What Can I Say After I’m Sorry?', featuring Everton manager Sean Dyche and an 8-foot high stolen fibreglass gorilla

Rumours Sean is planning to sign Gary for next season appear premature.
