lyrics

You can’t write all your songs about ennui
You may think they’re great
But people can’t relate
You can write a song or two or even three
But you can’t write all your songs about ennui

You can write a song about your cat
You can write a song about your hat
You can write a song about your cat wearing a hat
You can write a song for you
You can write a song for me
But you can't write all your songs about ennui

You can’t write all your songs about ennui
You might think they’re great
But people can’t relate
You can write a song or two or even three
But you can’t write all your songs about ennui

You can write a song about your truck
And the things that you like to fuck
You can write a song about your lucky fuckin’ truck
You can write a song for you
You can write a song for me
But you can't write all your songs about ennui

You can write a song, for the world to hear
About the sadness, and the fear
Be kind if we don’t understand
We’re not a frickin’ emo band

You can’t write all your songs about ennui
You might think they’re great
But people can’t relate
You can write a song or two or even three
But you can’t write all your songs about ennui

One more time!

You can’t write all your songs about ennui
You might think they’re great
But people can’t relate
You can write a song or two or even three
But you can’t write all your songs
No, don’t write all your damn songs
You can’t write all your songs about ennui

Polythene Pam image

Polythene Pam San Francisco, California

Polythene Pam are an upbeat, whimsical, queer Americana girl band. Take the quirky nerdery of They Might Be Giants, the old school country twang of Dolly Parton and Johnny Cash, and the rock attitude of the Violent Femmes. Shake well, add a sardonic sense of humor, and you’ve got Polythene Pam. ... more
