lyrics

There's nothing new under the sun
So naturally I am bound to become
A cover of a copy of a rip off of a better man
It's all been sung and said and played before
A thousand times and probably thousands more
My limited ability is always going to limit me again

And I know sometimes I'm ripping off Frank, and that's OK
I owe that man a debt of thanks, for how I play

I've got my heroes and I know I'm not alone in this
They've got their heroes too, so maybe we're all plagiarists
If imitation is the highest form of flattery
I'm gonna sound a little like the ones who influence me

I'm listening to all my favourite songs
I pick up my guitar and play along
So when I write I'm always under influence of something or someone
I'm trying hard to be original
But I can only play so many chords
And by the time it's written it's too late to realise what I have done

And I know sometimes I'm ripping off Sam, and that's OK
I owe that man a debt of thanks, for how I play

I've got my heroes and I know I'm not alone in this
They've got their heroes too, so maybe we're all plagiarists
If imitation is the highest form of flattery
I'm gonna sound a little like the ones who influence me
