Jacqui Abbott - I Am Not A Muse lyrics

I am not a muse. I don't have hits on charts with other people's bad news. I'm not a series of childish clues that believe cleverly in half truths. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not some sad jack in anorak or half cap, high on smack. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not in the band because Daddy didn't understand. I do not gain from others' pain and then sell it back to them again. I'm not mad or insane. I'm not into early Miles Davis or John Coltrane. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I do not profess to love the blues. I'm not fit to shine Gram Parsons' new soft shoes. I do not mention countless interviews, countless interviews. I am not a muse. I am not a northern star. I do not break my friends with 'ay-ups' and "Alright las". I don't sit outside of Italian [star bombs and talk about the Lars and the Lars and the Las.] I am not in the band because Daddy didn't understand. I do not gain from others' pain and then sell it back to them again. I'm not mad or insane. I'm not into early Miles Davis or John Coltrane. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I'm not a series of "don'ts and do's" and "who's whose" for the middle cla**es to peruse. I don't hang with North London crews. No I ain't no muse. I am not a professional southerner. I know I'm not "alright, guv'nor." As one masochist said to the other, "don't beat yourself up about it brother. Don't beat yourself up about it brother." I am not in the band because Daddy didn't understand. I do not gain from others' pain and then sell it back to them again. I'm not mad or insane. I'm not into early Miles Davis or John Coltrane. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I did not form a band to get a larger plot of land. It was not engineered or planned to spend a life by sea or sand. [I have a ???? for that.] I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I'm not into Robert Johnson. I don't love those Delta blues. [I can feel the ??eeze but I can't change a ??ew.] I am not in the band because Daddy or Mommy didn't understand. I do not gain from others' pain and then sell it back to them again. I'm not mad or insane. I'm not into early Miles Davis or John Coltrane. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not a muse.
