I Am Not A Muse Lyrics - What Have We Become? - Jacqui Abbott

I am not a muse. 

I don't have hits on charts with other people's bad news. 

I'm not a series of childish clues that believe cleverly in half truths. 

I am not a muse. I am not a muse. 

I am not some sad jack in anorak or half cap, high on smack. 

I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. 

I am not in the band because Daddy didn't understand. 

I do not gain from others' pain and then sell it back to them again. 

I'm not mad or insane. 

I'm not into early Miles Davis or John Coltrane. 

I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. 

I am not a muse. I do not profess to love the blues. 

I'm not fit to shine Gram Parsons' new soft shoes. 

I do not mention countless interviews, countless interviews. I am not a muse. 

I am not a northern star. 

I do not break my friends with 'ay-ups' and "Alright las". 

I don't sit outside of Italian [star bombs and talk about the Lars and the Lars and the 

Las.] 

I am not in the band because Daddy didn't understand. 

I do not gain from others' pain and then sell it back to them again. 

I'm not mad or insane. 

I'm not into early Miles Davis or John Coltrane. 

I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. 

I am not a muse. 

I'm not a series of "don'ts and do's" and "who's whose" for the middle classes to 

peruse. I don't hang with North London crews. 

No I ain't no muse. 

I am not a professional southerner. I know I'm not "alright, guv'nor." 

As one masochist said to the other, "don't beat yourself up about it brother. Don't 

beat yourself up about it brother." 

I am not in the band because Daddy didn't understand. 

I do not gain from others' pain and then sell it back to them again. 

I'm not mad or insane. 

I'm not into early Miles Davis or John Coltrane. 

I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not a 

muse. I am not a muse. 

I did not form a band to get a larger plot of land. 

It was not engineered or planned to spend a life by sea or sand. [I have a ???? 

for that.] I am not a muse. 

I am not a muse. 

I'm not into Robert Johnson. 

I don't love those Delta blues. 

[I can feel the ??eeze but I can't change a ??ew.] 

I am not in the band because Daddy or Mommy didn't understand. 

I do not gain from others' pain and then sell it back to them again. 

I'm not mad or insane. 

I'm not into early Miles Davis or John Coltrane. 

I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not a 

muse. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not 

a muse. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am not a muse. I am 

not a muse. I am not a muse.
