[Intro]
Woo!

[Verse 1]
Sit right down if you can spare me a minute
I got a tale that's bound to break your heart
Concerns my brother who's thin and played violin, woo
Got it in his head that an IQ is all you need
He went his way, I couldn't discover mine
I didn't worry if I ever saw him again
He's made a profit while I don't even own a pocket, woo
And the last I heard he was sitting at the top of the tree
Wait a minute

[Verse 2]
Late last night reading my underground press
Came a knock on the door, thought it was the third world war
Lord above, I did not recognise him
I said have a cup of coke, here maybe that's all you need
He said the smell of the city
Kid it's trying to kill me
My eyes are getting muddy
Christ, I'm aging fast
My kind of music I knew it wasn't gonna to be simple
But have a quick listen, kid, maybe that's all you need, woo

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Don't stop you make me feel much better
Tell me, my brother, do you think that's all I need?
Yeah, yeah

[Outro]
Don't it make you happy?
Well, well, well, well, well
That's all you need
That's all you need
That's all you need
That's all you need, woo
That's all you need
That's all you need
That's all you need
That's all you need
That's all you need
That's all you need
That's all you need
