Trouble With Clich​é​s

from Topic of the Day by Jef Leeson

/

lyrics

I get a break and I find myself
Thinking about you
Don't try the phone or text a message
No. So what I do

Is
Grab a simple pen and paper
Figure out what thoughts to favour
And will it work, well, I'm not so sure
Maybe someday
I'll coin a new phrase

There you go (That's the trouble, that's the trouble, that's the trouble)
That's the trouble with clichés
Wouldn't you know? (That's the trouble, that's the trouble, that's the trouble)
I'm having trouble with clichés

I clear my head and I realise
It sounds a bit absurd
Still, my prose gets all tied up in
Other people's words

Needing you, I'm surprised
Is quite the thing to rhapsodise
Please forgive my compromise
This communiqué is what I can't say

There you go (That's the trouble, that's the trouble, that's the trouble)
That's the trouble with clichés
Wouldn't you know? (That's the trouble, that's the trouble, that's the trouble)
I'm having trouble with clichés
There you go (That's the trouble, that's the trouble, that's the trouble)
That's the trouble with clichés
Wouldn't you know? (That's the trouble, that's the trouble, that's the trouble)
I'm having trouble with clichés
