Same seven notes and some slag poet's quotes Stick them together with glue You can mix a fine cocktail from memories And pretend what you're drinking is new But there's nothing that's new under heaven (Chorus) There's nothing that hasn't been done Pour me another double cliche You can't write a song that's never been sung Everyone's stealing from someone Burglars get burgled as well There's nothing that's new under heaven There's nothing unique over hell There's nothing that's new under heaven (Repeat chorus) You can't write a song that's never been sung You can't write a song that's never been sung
