about

An homage to the muse of Epic, who always gets stuck telling other people's stories.

lyrics

Always it’s the same
Sing muse, sing muse, they tell me
Sing muse the man of many ways
That’s all they want to hear
Spin a story for me, won’t you,
Tell me of his sweet return
And how his brave companions lost their way
That’s all they care about

Chorus:
They never ask, how are you?
How’ve you been? What’s on your mind?
A girl like you, you’ve seen a lot,
You must have things to say!
They never ask, Where did you come from?
Where are you going?
They only start the story off
And count on me knowing.

Always it’s the same
Sing muse, sing muse, they tell me
Sing muse of violence and rage
The end of the heroic age
Spin a story for me, won’t you,
Tell me of the brutal war
And how the city fell apart and burned
That’s all they care about

Chorus

Bridge:
I know how to tell you lies and make you see the truth, oo
I can make a poor man great enough that he will rule, oo
Think of all the things I know
How far back my memories go
And in fact I am a very interesting person but
No no no no no!

Always it’s the same
Sing muse, sing muse, they tell me,
Sing muse a journey far from home
The hero who created Rome
Spin a story for me, won’t you,
Tell me of his foreign queen
And how he left her to fulfill his fate
That’s all they care about

Chorus
