Lyrics -
          Too Short      
      There's many the reason to write a song 
        To list them all, takes far too long 
        But I discovered a secret 
      Which I will tell to you       
      It came to me in a moment of truth 
        That most of my songs were far from good 
        And I resolved to compromise 
        And steal a word or two 
        From classics of another age 
        I studied them all, page by page 
        And suddenly I realised 
        What I had missed before 
      It's all to do with honesty 
        Stories told, the truthful way 
        And that is why I'll tell to you 
        The reason for this song 
        We had a little problem 
        Difficult to sort 
        Without this little gem the album 
        Would have been too short       Too Short
