Why Not? - Gentle Giant

Don’t sing a tune to yourself

You might believe this one

Try not to sew it yourself

The threading won’t stretch none

Don’t give me none of that line

Why not?

Got to sing something

Love’s song there’s nothing to find

Why not?

Dead before playing

Don’t sing a tune to yourself

You might believe this one

Try not to sew it yourself

The threading won’t stretch none

Who says the things that go in

The song is only saying

Dead thought can kill a good thing

The band is only playing

Don’t give me none of that line

Why not?

Got to sing something

Love’s song there’s nothing to find

Why not?

Dead before playing

Why not climb a hill

With someone who hates you?

Why not hate someone

Who climbs a hill with you?

And as time passes by

Your feet start slipping

And you are wondering why

There is no forgetting

Don’t sing a tune to yourself

You might believe this one

Try not to sew it yourself

The threading don’t stretch none

Who says the things that go in

The song is only saying

Dead thought can kill a good thing

The band is only playing

Don’t give me none of that line

Why not?

Got to sing something

Love’s song there’s nothing to find

Why not?
