Dear Sir or Madam, will you read my book?

It took me years to write, will you take a look?

It's based on a novel by a man named Lear

And I need a job

So I wanna be a paperback writer


It's a dirty story of a dirty man

And his clinging wife doesn't understand

His son is working for the Daily Mail

It's a steady job

But he wants to be a paperback writer

Paperback writer


If you really like it you can have the rights

It could make a million for you overnight

If you must return it you can send it here

But I need a break

And I wanna be a paperback writer

    Lose the narration at the beginning guys. It doesn't add anything and you run the risk of losing listeners before they get to the great bit!

    Unique cover and I thought it was fantastic.

  • That brought back a lot of memories!

    It's a really interesting approach at the start. I thought you were going to do the whole song in that style at first, then you just kick it into gear.

    It's a strong contrast. Was that the main idea in structuring it the way you have?

  • I too was a bit taken aback by the contrast. So said, if you're going to cover something as well known as this then, yeah, do it completely different. I've always said that you are fearless with your arrangements and this is no exception.

    A great cover.
