Story Behind The Song
Always the artist trying to work hard for almost no money. Studying a rug and neglecting a much needed hug. Just an ordinary man with no big plans. Just trying to do what he can to make his stand.

Lyrics
Nothing Special
Just an ordinary guy
Sometimes too hot to handle
Please don?t ask him why.
Just a mediocre song
For this ordinary man
Does not belong
In a complicated plan
Chorus 1:
The days are getting shorter
Time to put in order
The landscape of a place
That he?d rather not face.
Always the artist
Often out in left field
Doing what was hardest
But with no monetary yield.
Chorus 1
Studying the symmetry
In an Oriental rug
Forgetting the unity
Of a much-needed hug.
Chorus 2:
Nothing special, nothing worth
More than the salt of the earth
Just an ordinary man
With no big plan...doing what he can...to make his stand.
