Lyrics

pure misery

[Intro]

I've got to tell you something

I've got to tell you something

[Verse 1]

You know I, I wouldn’t have a microphone if I didn’t have to...

No no no, I’m the one with the band, man

I’m the one with the band and they told me that I got to really...

Ah t- t- So uh, yeah

I just [?], I just got up here to tell you, yes, that I, that I really got to...

So I, I

[Chorus]

These four men behind me ask only that I sing

What an amazing platform

My own private podium, I climbed up here to speak

And nobody stopped me

[Bridge]

Hello I gotta tell you something

I really gotta tell you something

I gotta tеll you something

I gotta tell you something

I rеally gotta

[Verse 2]

No no no no no no no, you don't understand, I really gotta tell you something... [?]

I gotta tell you something

[Chorus]

And all those lights are angled my way, you see them?

I didn't even practise, I'm just gonna freestyle

What a creature, what grace

Said with such commendable taste

Give me those ears, I gotta tell you something

We march on with a tired theme

Light this clown up

Give it a name, a message, a picture of pure misery

Months in the making

Give me another beer, I gotta tell you something
