Let the Ass Bray
Unveiling the Struggle: Finding Empathy Amidst Musical Misgivings
Lyrics
We were gathered on a Thursday
We gathered on a Thursday for an event
To see the two out of five
Two out of five members of a band present
Pitch your newly pressed pop record
Promoting a newly released pop record
And the room was well inside
The room was filled
Until the faithful got the bends
People became uncomfortable
And you never made amends
No apology for a mistake made
For the fielding error on the call
Referring to a sports error during a call
To play your best known song of all
Performing their most famous song
I wanted to hate you
Initial desire to dislike
That was my first choice
First inclination was to hate
I wanted to hate you
Initial desire to dislike
Until I heard your voice
Changed mind after hearing the voice
My, how rude, so impolite
Expressing surprise at rudeness
All this on your night of nights
Criticizing behavior on an important night
Little man of smallish frame
Describing a person of small stature
Crushed beneath your pop band name
Feeling overwhelmed by the band's reputation
Your table manners left behind
Referencing poor manners
In an Oxford flat at suppertime
Recalling past behavior at Oxford
You came of range on center stage
Coming out of the background to the main stage
Now sleep's not all your losing
Consequences of fame affecting sleep
I wanted to hate you
Initial desire to dislike
That was my first choice
First inclination was to hate
I wanted to hate you
Initial desire to dislike
Until I heard your voice
Changed mind after hearing the voice
When I heard your voice
Positive reaction to the voice
I could ignore your face
Ability to overlook appearance
When I heard your voice
Positive reaction to the voice
Tom with a "TH"
Reference to a person named Tom
Let the ass bray
Expression encouraging making noise
Make the punters pay
Encouraging the audience to pay for the show
Let the ass bray
Expression encouraging making noise
Make the punters pay
Encouraging the audience to pay for the show
Let the ass bray
Expression encouraging making noise
Make the punters pay
Encouraging the audience to pay for the show
Let the ass bray
Expression encouraging making noise
Make the punters pay
Encouraging the audience to pay for the show
