Josh Righton - Dissertation Song Lyrics

I should be writing my dissertation but instead I'm doing anything else
I'm internet shopping and planning on recording this song that your listening to right now

I should be writing my dissertation but
The words aren't coming out of me when I want them to
And I'd rather spend my time trying to find someone to hang with
Than sit there and write another bloody word about jazz

Time is a funny thing you know
I'm a different person than I was three years ago
I thought it would be important
But things haven't gone to plan

Time is a funny thing you know
I'm a different person than I was three years ago
I thought it would be important
But things haven't gone to plan

I should be writing my dissertation
But there's a football match this evening
And can't miss that

I should be writing my dissertation
But instead I am writing this song
And this song is more important than my dissertation
Oh, at least it is to me well is that wrong?

One day I might regret the fact that I chose to waste my opportunity to join the academic community when all my songs have came to nothing
But I'd rather have tried and failed and tried
And written 10000 average words
Than have got a first and never written this song

Time is a funny thing you know
I'm a different person than I was three years ago
I thought it would be important
But things haven't gone to plan

Time is a funny thing you know
I'm a different person than I was three years ago
I thought it would be important
But things haven't gone to plan

Things haven't gone the way I planned
But I'm happy with the way that they panned out

Things haven't gone the way I planned
But I'm happy with the way they panned out

Things haven't gone the way I planned
But I'm happy with the way they panned out
Things haven't gone the way I planned
