XTC - The Mayor of Simpleton lyrics

Never been near a university
Never took a paper or a learned degree
And some of your friends think
That's stupid of me
But, it's nothing that I care about

Well, I don't know how to tell
The weight of the sun
And of mathematics well, I want none
And I may be the mayor of Simpleton
But, I know one thing and that's I love you

When their logic grows cold and
All thinking gets done
You'll be warm in the arms
Of the mayor of Simpleton

I can't have been there when
Brains were handed round
(Please be upstanding for the
Mayor of Simpleton)
Or get past the cover of your books profound
(Please be upstanding for the
Mayor of Simpleton) and some of your friends
(some of your friends)
Think it's really unsound that you're
Even seen talking to me

Well, I don't know how to
Write a big hit song
And all crossword puzzles, well I just shun
And I may be the mayor of Simpleton
But, I know one thing and that's I love you

I'm not proud of the fact
That I never learned much
Just feel I should say
What you get is all real
I can't put on an act
It takes brains to do that anyway
(and anyway)

And I can't unravel riddles
Problems and puns
How the home computer has me on the run
And I may be the mayor of Simpleton
But, I know one thing and that's I love you
(I love you)

If depth of feeling is a currency
(Please be upstanding for the
Mayor of Simpleton)
Then I'm the man who grew the money tree
(No change of office and no
Hope of getting one)
Some of your friends (some of your friends)
Are too brainy to see
That they're paupers and that's
How they'll stay

Well, I don't know how many
Pounds make up a ton
Of all the Nobel Prizes that I've never won
And I may be the mayor of Simpleton
But, I know one thing and that's I love you
(I love you)

When all logic grows cold and
All thinking gets done
You'll be warm in the arms
Of the Mayor of Simpleton
You'll be warm in the arms
Of the Mayor of Simpleton
You'll be warm in the arms of the Mayor
Please be upstanding for the
Mayor of Simpleton
Please be upstanding for the
Mayor of Simpleton
Please be upstanding for the
Mayor of Simpleton
Please be upstanding for the
Mayor of Simpleton
Please be upstanding for the
Mayor of Simpleton
