Unnecessary Music

The world is saturated with songs And we all just nod along They have the patter and the beat But they're whitebread food to eat Unnecessary music Why do we produce it? Cos it is more fun to do Than it is to listen to Unnecessary music Perhaps it's therapeutic But they say a burden shared Is a burden doubled No idea in there was conceived The embryo can't be believed It has a head and arms and legs But take its pulse you'll find it's dead Unnecessary music Why do we produce it? Cos it is more fun to do Than it is to listen to Unnecessary music Perhaps it's therapeutic But they say a burden shared Is a burden doubled What spurred you on to finish it? Put layers on the thinnish bit When you had half-written the song? Why'd you decide to carry on? Unnecessary music Why do we produce it? Cos it is more fun to do Than it is to listen to Unnecessary music Perhaps it's therapeutic But they say a burden shared Is a burden doubled
