Jonathan's Book Lyrics - A Piece Of What You Need - Teddy Thompson

Jonathan lives all on his own 

He can't have distractions in the home 

He stays locked in most days and nights 

Trying to create while the neighbors fight 

He says, I don't have any inspiration 

And my subject matter lacks invention 

Jonathan's writing a book you see 

It's gonna be a masterpiece, a feat 

He doesn't have a title or a plot 

Oh, but he knows what's good 

And he knows what's not 

He says, I don't have any inspiration 

And my subject matter lacks invention 

If I only had an opening line 

Well, I'm sure the rest would turn out fine 

He's planning on at least a thousand pages 

It has to be a story for the ages 

But from war and peace to the cowboy cook 

There's not much left for Jonathan's book 

He says, I don't have any inspiration 

And my subject matter lacks invention 

If I only had an opening line 

Well, I'm sure the rest would turn out fine
