Guitar

This guitar is sat upon me
It's the one thing that's not beyond me
It cuts my fingers into pieces
But its music never ceases
To amaze me, finding meaning
In the smallest, most fleeting things
It's a big old world, there's a lot to take
And every boy and girl is gonna make mistakes
So for this song that I'm singing
I need a hero, I need a villain
Both with motives, both with feelings
And charisma through the ceiling
Write two people, write 'em sky-high
Flip a coin to pick the bad guy
It's a big old world, there's a lot to take
And every boy and girl is gonna make mistakes
So the next time someone hurts you
Remember we all got faults, we all got virtues
Everybody is on the same line
And being average is just fine
And yeah there's saints but just like the monsters
You'll never meet them, you wouldn't wanna
It's a big old world, there's a lot to take
And every boy and girl is gonna make mistakes
If there's one thing I've learned from Mario Kart
It's even monsters have got a human heart sometimes

Triangle
02:33

If all the world's an orchestra, then I'm the triangle
I sit at the back and I only get one note per song
And I've got my part to play, all right
But it's never gonna change anybody's life
I wish I were a violin, clarinet, flute or trombone
And if you're doing something that you don't want to do
If you're letting the world walk all over you
If you hate your friends almost as much as you hate yourself
You can comb through song lyrics and TV shows
In search of an answer you already know
You don't need me to tell you you're wasting your life
You don't need me to tell you anything
But I stood in front of everyone and played my triangle
I played and I played 'til I thought that my heart would explode
But it's hard to get them on your side
When you've spent your life tanning the same old hide
Of the pony whose one trick everyone already knows
And if you've got problems then music's got answers
But I am to music as tutus to dancers
I'm there on the night
But the show would go on just the same if I weren't
The whole audience knows every lyric I sing
But they don't sing along, no, they don't do a thing
As I riff and repeat on the only note I ever learned
So if all the world's an orchestra, then I'm the triangle
I sit at the back and I only get one note per song
And I've got my part to play, all right
But it's never gonna change anybody's life
I wish I were a violin, clarinet, flute or trombone
Yeah, I wish I were anything else but the useless, no-talent bastard I am
And I wish I could make people feel like they weren't so alone
