What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I'm going on the circuit, doing all the clubs
2
And I really need a song, boys to stir those workers up
3
To get their wives to sing it with me just like in the pubs
4
When I worked the good old pubs in Stepney
5
Could you knock a line or two together for a friend
6
Sentimental tear inducing with a happy end
7
'Cause we need a tune to open our season at south end
8
Can you help us
9
It's hard to write a song with bitter fingers
10
So much to prove, so few to tell you why
11
Those old die-hards in Denmark street start laughing
12
At the keyboard player's hollow haunted eyes
13
It seems to me a change is really needed
14
I'm sick of tra-la-las and la-de-das
15
No more long days hacking hunks of garbage
16
Bitter fingers never swung on swinging stars, swinging stars
17
I like the warm blue flame, the hazy heat it brings
18
It loosens up the muscles and forces you to sing
19
You know it's just another hit and run
20
From the tin pan alley twins
21
And there's a chance that one day you might write a standard lads
22
So churn them out quick and fast we'll still pat your backs
23
'Cause we need what we can get to launch another dozen acts
24
Oh, are you working
25
It's hard to write a song with bitter fingers
26
So much to prove, so few to tell you why
27
Those old die-hards in Denmark street start laughing
28
At the keyboard player's hollow haunted eyes
29
It seems to me a change is really needed
30
I'm sick of tra-la-las and la-de-das
31
No more long days hacking hunks of garbage
32
Bitter fingers never swung on swinging stars, swinging stars
33
It's hard to write a song with bitter fingers
34
So much to prove, so few to tell you why
35
Those old die-hards in Denmark street start laughing
36
At the keyboard player's hollow haunted eyes
37
It seems to me a change is really needed
38
I'm sick of tra-la-las and la-de-das
39
No more long days hacking hunks of garbage
40
Bitter fingers never swung on swinging stars, swinging stars, oh
41
It's hard to write a song with bitter fingers
42
So much to prove, so few to tell you why
43
Those old die-hards in Denmark street start laughing
44
At the keyboard player's hollow haunted eyes
45
It seems to me a change is really needed
46
I'm sick of tra-la-las and la-de-das
47
No more long days hacking hunks of garbage
48
Bitter fingers never swung on swinging stars, swinging stars
