lyrics

You tried to write a love song
That you thought no one would hear
You summoned up your courage
And you swallowed down your fear
Don’t wanna face rejection
Clambering for their affection
They’ll never hear it anyway

You grabbed your favorite pencil
And you scribbled down your thoughts
Aware of consequences
From the trouble you have bought
Express what you are feeling
Your heart’s already reeling
They’ll never hear it anyway

If your love falls in the forest
And there’s no one there to see
Would it help you lift that heavy weight
And finally set you free?
You’ll sum it up inside a song
And just call it a day, ‘cause
They’ll never hear it anyway.

Maybe one day you will sing it
With your friends all gathered round
And you’ll relish all the irony you’ve driven to the ground
You’ll never need to say it
You’ve only got to play it
And when you’re finally finished
Sadness will be diminished...

but...

They’ll never hear it anyway

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
