lyrics

I would like to be brilliant but I'm not
I would like to be handsome but I'm ugly
I would like to be strong and tall, instead I am so weak and small
 
Refrain
And that is why I'm gonna scratch your car
And that is why I'm gonna scratch your car
 
I would like to have a big family
Where they want me and they tell me that they love me
But I don’t, I am all alone, my best friend is this sharpened stone
Refrain
 
Chorus
See the lines, read the signs
Feel the lines, hear my cries
 
I would like to have an education
And a diploma to prove that I can think
But I can't seem to find a way, I'm locked inside these simple days
Refrain
 
I would like to have a girl to love
But I don't believe that I am able
I am stunted emotionally, invisibly I am not free
Refrain
 
Chorus
 
I would like to have enough money
To buy interesting things and have nice clothes to wear
But the money I have I steal, enough to numb the way it feels
Refrain
And that is why I'll always scratch cars

about

Roger Hammond Amsterdam, Netherlands

Based near Amsterdam. I write, play guitar, sing and record. I try to write interesting lyrics and occasionally I think they are. A lot of the songs end up with a calm sound and emphasize the vocals and acoustic guitar. My early influences were Paul Simon, Tom Waits, Jethro Tull, David Bowie, Pink Floyd, Chopin, The Beatles, Elvis Costello, Otis Redding and a ton more along the way ... more
