31st December 1979

British sugar bureau
When I told you what I
And I

And I wouldn't ask you to pretend
That we were one
And still another time
Forget all the lies forgive me the wounds
And all the world was used to love
And yes we'd still be happy in another time
But so what?
So what?

So please send me icing and decorating sets
I enclose a cheque and postal order number

So what?
So what?

    General Comment:I noticed that, at the end of the song, there is a sound like he is crumpling the sugar bag... Maybe it has a meaning...
    And, tumultinateakettle, I laughed so hard when I saw the picture! It's really funny! Maybe rabbit_ is right...? Anyway, the song is really good and catchy and it makes me laugh! Robert is so funny ^^ I love him!

    General Comment:I agree with strange day it makes sense that he is talking/bitching about pamphlets...and he's saying so what because he doesn't think it's important. But other parts of the song don't fit in with it but the point is strange day is probably the closet lol

    General Comment:Its definetly a weird song. I had no idea what he was singing about until i read these lyrics. Who wouldve guessed someone writing a song whose lyrics come from the back of a bag of sugar would go on to write "Pictures of You".
    Its weird that part of the song comes from a sack of sugar, while out of nowhere there seem to be personal bits too. weird.

    General Comment:Thank God for lyrics! Before finally reading the lyrics for this one online, I truly thought that Robert was saying "chicken postal order" instead of "cheque and postal order number..." (laughs) Yeah, a true nonsense song if there ever was one, but c'mon, you have to like it.
