Paul Kelly - She's A Melody (Stupid Song) lyrics

She's a melody; when she goes by she disturbs my soul She's a melody and she's playing me with cool control I try to keep a quiet heart but all in vain I'm falling, falling in a trance again She's a stupid song that once it's heard never goes away She's a stupid song, sorely nagging me night and day And just when I think she's gone, well! here she comes again She's running around my brain I will carve her name upon the air, not in wood or stone I will carve her name and tell the world the beauty I've known And when we both are dead and gone The melody will carry on, yes, only the notes remain
