LIstening to Delilah, the only radio station I could pick up, while driving a long distance and trying to stay awake. Not helpful!

Song Description

Singer is trying to listen to music in the car and every station is playing annoying love songs. they all sound like formualaic crap from some guy cranking out tunes in a cubcile at a publishing company.

Lyrics

I don?t like corny schlocky sappy songs
About the way it was when you were mine
But every time I turn on the radio
It's the only kind of song I can find

On every station an irritating whiny steel guitar
I've nearly worn out the seek button on the radio in my car

I don?t like corny schlocky sappy songs
About the way it was when you were mine
But every time I turn on the radio
It's the only kind of song I can find

Some guy in a cubicle trying to sound beautiful
He breaks out his thesaurus throws in another chorus
He took songwriting classes
He's writing for the masses
That's where it all begins
I will not be sucked in

By a corny schlocky stupid tacky boring song
about the way it was when you were mine
every time I turn on the radio it's the only kind of song I can find

Between the news and the preacher and the shouting car ads
It's hard to find a song at all and then I?m really mad when it?s a
Boring stupid crappy sappy tacky song about the way it was when you were mine

About how when you kissed me I melted inside
How when we parted part of me died
How I often wondered if you'd ever come back
I'd never write about that

Because?

I don?t write corny schlocky stupid songs
About the way it was when you were mine
Every time I turn on the radio
It's the only kind of song I can find

I don?t like corny schlocky lame pathetic sappy pointless unsubstantial vapid boring tedious monotonous long and drawn out
Songs about the days when you were mine
