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
And 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
And we need a tune to open
8
Our season at Southend, 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, 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
22
You might write a standard lads, so churn them out quick and fast
23
And we'll still pat your backs
24
'Cause we need what we can get to launch another dozen acts
25
Are you working?
26
It's hard to write a song with bitter fingers
27
So much to prove, so few to tell you why
28
Those old die-hards in Denmark Street start laughing
29
At the keyboard player's hollow haunted eyes
30
It seems to me a change is really, really needed
31
I'm sick of tra-la-las and la-de-das
32
No more long days hacking hunks of garbage
33
Bitter fingers never swung on swinging stars, swinging stars
34
It's hard to write a song with bitter fingers
35
So much to prove, so few to tell you why
36
Those old die-hards in Denmark Street start laughing
37
At the keyboard player's hollow haunted eyes
38
It seems to me a change is really, really needed
39
I'm sick of tra-la-las and la-de-das
40
No more long days hacking hunks of garbage
41
Bitter fingers never swung on swinging stars, swinging stars
42
Swinging stars, swinging stars
43
It's hard to write a song with bitter fingers
44
So much to prove, so few to tell you why
45
Those old die-hards in Denmark Street start laughing
