Blah Blah
Miss Mystery's Coffee Shop Dilemma
Lyrics
It always happens in coffee shops
Expresses a common occurrence in coffee shops.
And I'm always hungover when someone wants to talk
Describes the narrator's hungover state during unwanted conversations.
And don't get me wrong, I like talking
Clarifies that the narrator enjoys healthy conversations.
When it's a healthy back-and-forth exchange
Appreciates constructive dialogue.
But some people always wanna lecture me
Highlights the issue of people trying to change the narrator.
And try to make me change
Addresses those who lecture and attempt to change the narrator.
He says 'You are a mystery, aren't you'
Quotes someone calling the narrator a mystery.
And considering he hasn't shut up long enough for me to string two words together
Remarks on the continuous talking, making it hard for the narrator to respond.
Yes that's me, Miss Mystery
Agrees sarcastically to being a mystery.
And he's quiet for a time
Notes a brief silence, suggesting a potential positive turn.
And I think that might be a good sign
Expresses hope for a positive interaction.
Til there's a glint in his eye and I realize
Realizes the person is formulating more sentences in their mind.
He's just making more sentences in his mind
Discovers the person's hidden agenda to continue talking.
And here it comes, and there's nothing I can do
Anticipates the forthcoming lecture.
I take a sip, I take a breath
Prepares for the unwanted conversation.
He licks his lips and he's opening his mouth, and it's:
Describes the person about to speak.
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
Depicts the nonsensical, repetitive nature of the person's speech.
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
-Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
-Blah blah dog diggity blah
-Like a steam train
Compares the person's speech to a relentless assault with ineffective ammunition.
Like an onslaught
-Like a machine gun loaded with your opinions
-But it's incoherent ammunition
-And your words aren't very wounding weapons
Comments on the lack of impact of the person's words.
When they're inflicted on me
-And I know you mean well
Recognizes the person's good intentions but criticizes their self-righteousness.
With your deep wells of advice
-And your buckets of swelled self-righteousness
-Hell, you're just trying to be nice
-And you're nice, but you state your views like they are facts of life
Dislikes the assertive way the person presents their views as facts.
And I hate that, and I tell you
Expresses dislike for the aforementioned behavior.
And I brace myself for the reply, it's gonna be
Repeats the cycle of the person talking and the narrator's response.
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
-Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
-Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
-Blah blah dog diggity blah
-He says, "You never were much of a talker"
Describes feeling cornered by the person's relentless talking.
Well this isn't talking
-This is being cornered
-I'm being cornered by you
-And I can't get away
-From this table for two
-In the corner of this bright corner cafe
-And didn't we have this same conversation last week?
-It's not that I don't like you - I just wish you wouldn't speak:
-Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
Reiterates the repetitive and tiresome nature of the person's speech.
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
-Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
-Blah blah dog diggity blah
-I see he's made a list
Describes the person making a list of topics, setting the stage for more unwanted conversation.
Of pressing topics of discussion
-Competing with the clanking coffee cup percussion
-And I guess we'll start with number one
-On the first A4 page
-Past the setting of the sun
-And the pouring of the lattes
-And here it comes, it's coming and there's nothing anyone can do
Anticipates and reacts to the person's impending speech.
I take a sip
-I grip the chair
-He opens his big, wet slippery mouth
-Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
Continues the repetitive cycle of the person talking and the narrator's reaction.
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
-Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
-Blah blah dog diggity blah
