Why Not Songtext
von Gentle Giant

Don′t sing a tune to yourself
You might believe this one
Try not to sew it yourself
The threading won't stretch none

Don′t give me none of that line (Why not?)
Got to sing something
Love's song there's nothing to find (Why not?)
Dead before playing

Don′t sing a tune to yourself
You might believe this one
Try not to sew it yourself
The threading won′t stretch none

Who says the things that go in
It ain't no you saying
Dead thought can kill a good thing
The band is only playing


Don′t give me none of that line (Why not?)
Got to sing something
Love's song there′s nothing to find (Why not?)
Dead before playing

Why not climb a hill
With someone who hates you?
Why not hate someone
Who climbs a hill with you?
And as time passes by
Your feet start slipping
And you are wondering why
There is no forgetting

Don't sing a tune to yourself
You might believe this one
Try not to sew it yourself
The threading won′t stretch none

Who says the things that go in
It ain't no you saying
Dead thought can kill a good thing
The band is only playing


Don't give me none of that line (Why not?)
Got to sing something
Love′s song there′s nothing to find (Why not?)
Dead before playing

Dead before playing
