I Only Date Musicians by Devin Ens

There’s a girl who mixes milkshakes

At my favourite café

She really digs her music

Even though she can’t play

I asked her if she wanted

To go with me to Blur

She was already going with a local singer...

She only dates musicians, she only dates musicians

‘Cos they’ve got better rhythm, and they’re MORE FUN!

She only dates musicians, she only dates musicians

She only dates musicians, and I wasn’t one

Not one!

So I went and enrolled myself

In the university

After some years and a lot of dough

I got a music degree (‘ray me!)

I toured around the country

Playing a trombone

But when I got my milkshake girl on the phone

She said "I only date...

PUNK ROCK musicians, I only date punk rock musicians

They’ve no inhibitions, they’re MORE FUN!

I only date musicians, but I only date PUNK musicians,

I only date punk rockers, and you’re not one

Not one!"

So I drove over my trombone

And burned my useless degree

Joined a cynical garage band

And sang ‘bout anarchy

A singer from Seattle

Really showed me the ropes

Got me hooked on bondage and dope

Now I only date musicians, I only date musicians

They know more positions, they’re MORE FUN!

I only date musicians, I only date musicians

I only date musicians, are you one?

Are you one?

Are you one?

We could have some fun.
