[Intro – marimba + vibraphone + pizzicato double bass + snaps + warm analog synth layer] [Voce maschile parlata – cockney teatrale] "I tell ya now — all them love words, they’ve been sung, innit?" "So here’s mine... ready?" [Trombone mute + soft brushes + Rhodes piano fill] [Chorus – deep male vocal + female backing “la-la” + marimba + horns + synth pads] All the words ‘bout love Have been sung before That’s why I just sing La-la-la-la-la-la more Silly words, I know La-la-la-la-la-la so Don’t be mad at me — I didn’t write this, you see! [Back vocals (f) + clap loop + xylophone sparkle] La-la-la-la-la, La-la-la-la-la-la, La-la-la-la-la, La-la-la-la-la-la — la-la. [Verse 1 – jazz guitar + flauto dolce + fischio vintage + groovy upright bass] Girls write poems in their books Tucked away in velvet nooks Every line’s a whispered sigh All ‘bout love — they try But this new tune I’ve got’s for you We’ll write it fresh — just us two Two small words, that’s all I got Still they mean a bloody lot [Chorus – marimba + trombone + string swell + full harmonized chorus] All the words ‘bout love Have been sung before That’s why I just sing La-la-la-la-la-la more Silly words, I know La-la-la-la-la-la so Don’t be mad at me — I didn’t write this, you see! [Round chorus – rhythmic “la-la” + trumpet flourishes + bossa shakers] La-la-la-la-la, La-la-la-la-la-la, La-la-la-la-la, La-la-la-la-la-la — la-la. [Bridge – Rhodes + flugelhorn + upright bass + brushed drums + whispered harmonies] Don’t be mad at me, La-la-la-la-la-la, It’s just how I sing To say how I love ya You don’t smile, you turn away, Come on now — what should I say? Aren’t two words enough for love today? [Verse 2 – solo upright bass + lo-fi synth textures + close, intimate voice] I’m just a simple bloke I don’t write songs that folks quote But I’ve got this cheeky line That hums with you past closing time Can’t speak like in a book But give me one true honest look Maybe then you’ll understand This love without a plan [Final Chorus – full brass + marimba + synth choir + strong female harmonies] All the words ‘bout love Have been sung before That’s why I just sing La-la-la-la-la-la more Silly words, I know La-la-la-la-la-la so Don’t be mad at me — I didn’t write this, you see! [Finale – tutti “la-la” in crescendo + flugelhorn riff + dreamy vibraphone] La-la-la-la-la, La-la-la-la-la-la, La-la-la-la-la, La-la-la-la-la-la — la-la. [Outro – marimba solo + dusty tape echo + whispered cockney voice] “That’s it, love. That’s my tune. Might sound daft, but it’s all yours.” [Fade out – analog synth, muted trumpet, marimba echoes] [end]
