lyrics

Struggling to write a song,
I can't believe now that's it been this long,
Doing all of the same things wrong,
And so I find myself ripping off everyone's songs, oh everyone's songs.
I'd rather steal another good idea
Then wait around for another year,
When what I'd play would be pretty near,
What I would play play anyway, if I could play the guitar well

Well you thought that I'd know better than this,
Well sometimes it just sounds so much better like..

I nod my head and tap my foot along,
My amp is on and the gain is up,
I look at Phil, could this be the one?
But now I realise that it sounds
Like what I was listening to last week,
I'm like a musical chameleon
I'm stealing this riff and taking that one,
I realise that nothing can be done,
No, so, I'll just keep on taking everyone's songs,
Everyone's songs

Well you thought that I'd know better than this
Well at times it just sounds so much better like

(Oooh)
Can't stop taking their songs
I can't stop stealing their songs
I can stop taking their songs
No I can't stop.

(Oooh)
Can't stop taking this no I can't stop stealing this and that one
Can't stop taking this no I can't stop stealing this and that one
No I can't stop taking this and no I can't stop stealing.
