    Story Behind the Song
    This song was originally written by friend
    and drummer Todd Davis, who would play it
    with me at various college pubs, pool halls
    and convenience stores turned
    "hot new college original music venue."

    Years after these shows we brought it back
    out with a different arrangement written
    together for the Ticket to Fly project.

    Lyrics
    Songs Are Fine
    Todd Davis/Mike Lawson
    ©1998 Psychotronic Publishing BMI

    When you spoke you would quote
    from a notebook where you wrote
    About a boat you couldn't row
    about a friend you'll never know
    Who you thought had cut your throat

    When you say you're OK
    you're only staging your own play
    But you may fall off that stage
    or read the same lines every day
    'till they come and carry you away

    Songs are fine, but a waste of my time
    I won't sing another one for you
    If you'll think about this one
    when I am through

    So I said you were dead
    to get you out of my head
    But instead I see my bed
    turning a darker shade of red
    I can't believe what I just said

    Songs are fine, but a waste of my time
    I won't sing another one for you
    If think about this one when I am through

    When you spoke you would quote
    from a notebook where you wrote
    About a boat you couldn't row
    about a friend you'll never know
    Who you thought had cut your throat

    Songs are fine, but a waste of my time
    I won't sing another one for you
    If you promise that you'll think
    about this one when I am through
