I’m not a performer, a singer, a musician, an arranger, a producer. I’m just not. I do what I can but I dream about what it might be like to work with someone who could do the things I can’t do, which is quite a lot. Wouldn’t it be great to have a collaborator?
Collaborator
Verse 1:
Last night I had a dream
I dreamt about a beautiful song
The words were deeply moving
And the melody was strong
I got up right away
I picked up my guitar
I tried to compose my dream
But I didn’t get very far
Verse 2:
The notes I played were nothing like
The melody in my dream
And the words came out as doggerel
If you know what I mean
This sort of thing happens all the time
When I get a song in my head
I tried to write that song for a while
Then I got back into bed
Chorus:
I need a collaborator
To help me do what I want to do
Someone to help fill in the puzzle
Make one and one equal more than two
I need a collaborator if I’m ever going to be great
And once I find a collaborator we can collaborate
Verse 3:
I’m not too proud to tell you I’m
Not the world’s most talented guy
I guess that’s just the way it is
No point in asking why
But maybe with the right kind of help
I could do more with the talent I’ve got
The right sort of partnership
Could take me straight to the top
Chorus:
I need a collaborator
To help me do what I want to do
Someone to help fill in the puzzle
Make one and one equal more than two
I need a collaborator if I’m ever going to be great
And once I find a collaborator we can collaborate
Bridge:
I can do a lot of things
But I can’t do it all
If I found me a number
I just might make a call
Maybe there’s somebody out there
Who could fill in the missing bit
and if they’re looking for someone
We just might be a perfect fit
Verse 4:
My whole life my tendency has been
to do everything on my own
That’s meant there’s a whole lot of things
that somehow never get done
No one really makes it alone
They get a little help on the way
Maybe if I find a collaborator
Everything will work out Ok
Chorus:
I need a collaborator
To help me do what I want to do
Someone to help fill in the puzzle
Make one and one equal more than two
I need a collaborator if I’m ever going to be great
And once I find a collaborator we can collaborate
