《How to Write a Song》歌词

[00:00:00] How to Write a Song (Live) - Harry Nilsson

[00:00:03] How to write a song

[00:00:05] How to write a song

[00:00:06] How to write a song

[00:00:09] How to write a song

[00:00:10] How to write a song

[00:00:11] Now if you write it on guitar

[00:00:13] Place your guitar upon your knee

[00:00:15] If you write it on piano

[00:00:17] Don't do that

[00:00:19] Place your fingers on the

[00:00:20] Strings of your guitar

[00:00:21] Not your piano

[00:00:22] If you write it on piano don't do that

[00:00:33] Now strum or press together

[00:00:36] Feeling this might take a little time

[00:00:41] Now think of something sad or something funny

[00:00:45] Which inevitably brings us to the rhyme

[00:00:48] Let's assume you're just an asshole

[00:00:50] And there's nothing in your pain

[00:00:52] It might help if you remember

[00:00:54] These helpful little hints

[00:00:56] Don't try to rhyme samba with anything

[00:01:00] That goes for homage as well

[00:01:03] But notice how cleverly

[00:01:05] I just used them both

[00:01:07] And all I have to do

[00:01:09] Is rhyme well

[00:01:18] You've got to be tricky

[00:01:20] Because to avoid these words takes talent

[00:01:22] So never ever trap yourself

[00:01:24] Like that or you'll end up saying words like

[00:01:26] Oh balent or falent

[00:01:28] Or dalent or

[00:01:30] Oh will I'm sure you'll catch on fast

[00:01:33] Now some tips on tempo

[00:01:35] And some subjects to avoid

[00:01:37] Like the use of the word bandit

[00:01:39] Unless you really have to say it

[00:01:40] And that's for tempo

[00:01:41] And if you say time

[00:01:43] That's strictly up to you

[00:01:44] Because that depends on how you play it

[00:01:48] Now let's do it once

[00:01:53] Now think of a rhyme

[00:01:58] Now that's it you're doing fine

[00:02:00] Think of the good time

[00:02:01] We just had together

[00:02:03] If you practice these instructions

[00:02:05] On the board of some new sale

[00:02:07] If you listen very carefully

[00:02:09] I'm sure you'll shout it there

[00:02:11] I said shout

[00:02:11] Shout it

[00:02:13] Why heheh that rhymes with talent

[00:02:17] That takes talent

[00:02:19] That is talent

[00:02:21] Oh my God don't forget oh

[00:02:30] Shout it rhymes with talent

[00:02:33] That takes talent

[00:02:37] That is talent

[00:02:39] Oh

[00:02:41] I cannot stand it

[00:02:43] Woah
