《How To Write A Song》歌词

[00:00:00] How To Write A Song - Harry Nilsson (哈利·尼尔森)

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

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

[00:00:07] How to write a song

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

[00:00:11] 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

[00:00:23] If you write it on piano don't do that

[00:00:34] 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

[00:00:49] Let's assume you're just an asshole

[00:00:51] And there's nothing in your pain

[00:00:53] It might help if you remember

[00:00:54] These helpful little hints

[00:00:57] Don't try to rhyme (sumba ) with anything

[00:00:59] That goes for homage as well

[00:01:04] But notice how cleverly

[00:01:06] I just used them both

[00:01:08] And all I have to do

[00:01:09] Is rhyme well

[00:01:19] 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

[00:01:27] Or dalent or

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

[00:01:34] Now some tips on tempo

[00:01:36] 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

[00:01:42] And that's for 'tempo'

[00:01:44] And if you say 'time'

[00:01:45] That's strictly up to you

[00:01:46] Because that depends on how you play it

[00:01:49] Now let's do (it) once

[00:01:54] Now think of a rhyme

[00:01:59] Now that's it you're doing fine

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

[00:02:01] We just had together

[00:02:04] 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

[00:02:12] Shout it

[00:02:14] Why heheh That rhymes with talent

[00:02:18] That takes talent

[00:02:20] That is talent

[00:02:22] Oh my God oh

[00:02:31] Shout it rhymes with talent

[00:02:34] That takes talent

[00:02:38] That is talent

[00:02:40] Oh

[00:02:42] I cannot stand it

[00:02:43] Woah
