'is it cruel or kind not to speak my mind and lie to you rather than hurt you.'
Bob Dylan too, but thats obvious, bright eyes, devendra banhart all superb!

my boss just quit the job/says he's going out to find blind spots/and he'll do it

How many strangers d'you have to meet?
How many old friends d'you have to see?

to know that you're alone in all this world.

Everybody's sayin' that the Scatman stutters
But doesn't ever stutter when he sings.
But what you don't know I'm gonna tell you right now

Yo I'm the Scatman.
