[Verse1] Wasn’t trying to write this morning Wasn’t looking for a song Just watching birds and passing traffic Quietly carrying on Then the screen door gave a little squeak Wind rattled up the chair And suddenly I’m writing verses About the flamin’ air It’s getting kinda worrying Must be something in this air I’m rhyming up the kettle boil And the old rocking chair Magpie on the fence post Dog barked down my lane [Chorus] Everything’s a flamin’ chorus now Running through my brain Everything’s a flamin’ chorus now Every word’s a rhyme Can’t even sit and drink me tea Without writing half a line Every bird and barking dog Joins in the refrain Everything’s a flamin’ chorus now Running through my brain [Verse2] I try to push it out of my mind Enjoy the view, take it in Watching the clouds go drifting by Till one looked like a tambourine Oh no, here we flamin’ go again Another verse in line Now I’m trying to rhyme “clouds” with something While pretending I’m just fine Give me a break, let my mind go Just let it wander free But even as I say those words They’re turning into poetry [Chorus] Everything’s a flamin’ chorus now Every word’s a rhyme Can’t even sit and drink me tea Without writing half a line Every bird and barking dog Joins in the refrain Everything’s a flamin’ chorus now Running through my brain [Outro] Well I’ll try and have a quiet day Just one, if I can But I’ve got a feeling even silence Might come out in a stanza then So if you hear me muttering Don’t think I’ve gone insane I’m just stuck here turning life itself Into another flamin’ refrain
