Another Sad Song
Bandits Lyrics

Well I'm sitting alone
The artist is currently by themselves.

With my guitar slightly out of tune
The artist's instrument is not properly tuned.

And it's a lovely night in June.
The time of the year is early summer.

And I try to write a song
The artist is attempting to compose a piece of music.

With a happy slomo melody
The proposed song should have a laidback, cheerful tune.

Like I have tried so many times before
The artist has done this on numerous occasions in the past.

But I can't really tell you, what is wrong
The writer is struggling to pinpoint what the problem may be.

But all that comes out is another sad song
The final result is not at all what the writer aimed for, and has ended up a depressing piece.

Maybe it's because I slept too long
Perhaps the reason behind their mental slump is too much sleep.

And nobody called me on my Phone
The artist has not received any phone calls from others.

Maybe I should hit town, have some fun
The writer debates whether they ought to attempt to have a good time by going out and enjoying themselves.

Do small-talk and drink till the Morning sun
This idea would most likely involve engaging in small talk and consuming alcohol until sunrise.

Maybe I should buy a brand new dress
Another strategy could be to purchase a new outfit.

Or learn up a useful game like cheese
Alternatively, they suggest learning a useful or helpful skill such as the game of cheese.

Another lonely night, turns to day
Once again, the artist finds themselves alone at night, but it becomes day soon enough.

With another hair of mine, turning grey
Time is passing, and the artist may be aging, as evidenced by the greying of their hair.

No I can't really tell you
The artist is unable to precisely state what is troubling them.

Just what is wrong, my dear
The writer turns endearingly to an unknown listener, hoping to share their woes.

But still what comes out is
Unchanged by their efforts to shift their mood, the artist is left with the only thing they are capable of producing in this current state.

Another sad Song
Once more, the outcome of the creative endeavor is an unhappy, melancholy track.
