Day 38: "Paperback Writer" by the Beatles

I wanted to put this on today because I was listening to it on my I-pod and I always felt like it described me and what I want to do with my life...But hopefully my work is better than a story about a dirty man, his clinging wife and a son who works for the daily mail, and also hopefully it won't be a thousand pages long :). I want to be a writer, but I also know how hard it can be to get a publisher to see you....Don't give up--and revise, revise, revise! There is hope, and no matter how long it takes you, make sure you finish your work. So now that you know how important writing is to me, I give you the lyrics to "Paperback Writer"...Ironic and somewhat with sarcastic feelings, because it really is the truth.


Paper back writer (paperback writer)
Dear Sir or Madam, will you read my book?
It took me years to write, will you take a look?
It's based on a novel by a man named Lear
And I need a job, so I want to be a paperback writer,
Paperback writer.

It's the dirty story of a dirty man
And his clinging wife doesn't understand.
The son (The Sun) is working for the Daily Mail,
It's a steady job but he wants to be a paperback writer,
Paperback writer.

It's a thousand pages, give or take a few,
I'll be writing more in a week or two.
I can make it longer if you like the style,
I can change it round and I want to be a paperback writer,
Paperback writer.

If you really like it you can have the rights,
It could make a million for you overnight.
If you must return it, you can send it here
But I need a break and I want to be a paperback writer,
Paperback writer.
