Michael Penn - No Myth Lyrics




So, she says it's time she goes
+
But wanted to be sure I know
+
She hopes we can be friends
+
I think, yeah, I guess we can say I
+
But didn't think to ask her why
+
She blocked her eyes and drew the curtains
+
With knots I've got yet to untie...
+
What if I were Romeo in black jeans
+
What if I was Heathcliff, it's no myth
+
Maybe she's just looking for
+
Someone to dance with
+
See, it was just too soon to tell
+
And looking for some parallel
+
Can be an endless game
+
We said goodbye before hello
+
My secrets she will never know
+
And if I dig a hole to China
+
I'll catch the first junk to Soho
+
What if I were Romeo in black jeans
+
What if I was Heathcliff, it's no myth
+
Maybe she's just looking for
+
Someone to dance with
+
Sometime from now you'll bow to pressure
+
Some things in life you cannot measure by degrees
+
I'm between the poles and the equator
+
Don't send no private investigator to find me please
+
'less he speaks Chinese
+
And can dance like Astaire overseas
+
What if I were Romeo in black jeans
+
What if I was Heathcliff, it's no myth
+
Maybe she's just looking for
+
Someone to dance with
+

No Myth

"No Myth" is a song by rock singer Michael Penn from his debut album March.

Released as his debut single in the fall of 1989, the song became Penn's only top 40 hit on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, peaking at #13. A vintage electro-mechanical keyboard instrument (called the Chamberlin) was used by Patrick Warren in the song and can be seen in the video as well.

On the back of the success of "No Myth", Penn won the MTV Award for Best New Artist making him the first male artist to win this award. However, label reshuffling stunted his momentum. He explained, "I had a big hit with it, and then the president of the label who signed me is gone, and the record dies. The day after winning the award they canceled the next video."

Penn's wife and musician Aimee Mann included the song on her list of "songs that made her," explaining: "By 1990, everything on the radio was starting to be Whitney Houston, Taylor Dayne, Tina Turner—it was very pop. Then Michael Penn comes out with this Beatles-esque, melodic song, but still with a little bit of a big snare drum sound. I was like, "Finally, somebody broke through with an actual song.” It was on that tour [around Penn's album, March] when I met Michael for the first time, and then we vaguely kept in touch. We got together years later. I love 'No Myth.' And that record is fantastic from beginning to end. You may think I'm saying this because I'm a nice person who is supportive of their spouse. That's absolutely not true. I'm not that supportive."

The song plays over the final montage and end credits of Amy Heckerling's 2000 romantic comedy Loser.
