Memphis Blues Again

[Verse 1] Functionalism's a bore Modernism's a chore Bauhaus school makes me snore Why do people adore Steel tubes bent to a frame All their shit looks the same Le Corbusier's a shame Yeah he's mostly to blame Peter Shire built a chair And he called it Bell Air Critics said "too much flair" Peter Shire didn't care Minimalism's absurd To me its just a word I wished i'd never heard Dont you know there's a third After function and form Makes you feel nice and warm Makes you question the norm Lets your stray from the swarm Yes emotion makes three It makes objects complete Go ahead take a seat In Michele de Lucchi Why should it not have dots? Why should it not have lots? Will you tell me why not? Are you artists or cops? [Chorus] We're stuck inside The Salon of Mobile We're stuck inside With the memphis blues again [Verse 2] Ettore is my name Furniture is my game Thinking frees has been my claim Since 1917 Symmetry is the past I prefer the contrast Critics said that it clashed Time will tell who outlasts Picture this on your wall It's not meant to appall Yeah that chair has got a ball It's about eight feet tall No need to be a grouch Have a seat on my couch Makes it easy to slouch With the arms pointing out This lamp looks like a bird Yeah its kind of absurd No you haven't misheard This lamp looks like a bird Don't confuse what i meant No malicious intent I'm just trying to invent Press this key to indent On my typing machine It's called the valentine Comes in blue, red and green Thank you much Perry King Why should it not have stripes There's a few different types Up and down side to side Must it be made of pipes [Chorus] We're stuck inside The Salon of Mobile We're stuck inside With the memphis blues again X2
