XTC - The Mayor of Simpleton

Never been near a university, never took a paper or a learned degree, and some of your friends think that's stupid of me.
But it's nothing,
That I care about,

Well I don't know how to tell the weight of the sun,
and of mathematics well I want none,
And I may be the mayor of Simpleton,
But I know one thing and that's I love you,
When their logic grows cold and all the thinking gets done,
You'll be warm in the hands of the Mayor of Simpleton,

I can't have been there when the brains were handed round,
Please be upstanding for the mayor of Simpleton,
Or get past the cover of your books prfound,
Please be upstanding for the mayor of Simpleton,
And some of your friends think it's really unsound that your even seen talking to me,

Well I don't know how to write a big hit song,
And all crossword puzzles well I just shun,
And I may be the mayor of Simpleton,
But I know one thing and that's I love you,

I'm not proud of the fact that I never learned much,
Just feel I should say what you get is all real,
I can't put on an act, it takes brains to do hat anyway,

And I can't unravel riddles, problems and puns,
How the home computer has me on the run,
And I may be the mayor of Simpleton,
But I know one thing and that's I love you,
I love you,

If depth of feeling is a currency,
Please be upstanding for the mayor of Simpleton,
Them I'm the man who grew the money tree,
No chain of office and no hope of getting one,
Some of your friends are too brainy to see,
That they're paupers and that's how they'll stay,

Well I don't know how many pounds make up a ton of nobel prizes that I've never won,
And I may be the mayor of Simpleton,
But I know one thing and that's I love you,
When all the logic grows cold and all thinking gets done,
You'll be warm in the arms of the mayor of Simpleton,
You'll be warm in the arms of the mayor of Simpleton,
You'll be warm in the arms of the mayor of Simpleton,
Please be upstanding for the mayor of simpleton.


Another brilliant song - Senses Working Overtime.
