Well, they do but none quite so celebrated as The Beatles.
'Across The Universe'
Words are flying out like
endless rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass
They slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow waves of joy
are drifting thorough my open mind
Possessing and caressing me
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Images of broken light which
dance before me like a million eyes
That call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a
restless wind inside a letter box
they tumble blindly as
they make their way across the universe
Chorus
Sounds of laughter shades of life
are ringing through my open ears
exciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which
shines around me like a million suns
It calls me on and on across the universe
Chorus

Please stop replaying this song.
So Iyaz is hung up on a girl. He's thinking about her so much that it's like when you can't get a song out of your head - or in his case a "na, na, na" - and he won't stop banging on about her. He's like a bloody broken record!
But you shouldn't take this song on face value - the literary techniques are second to none. The repetition of replay to emphasise that the song is replaying over and over in his head is nothing short of brilliant and he uses possibly my favourite metaphor to date: "That girl is a gun to my holster." Genius.
So anyway, he reminisces a bit about meeting his shawty. We don't learn her name but what we do know is that she's "like somethin' off a poster", she's nocturnal and she's particularly well-travelled. Genuinely sounds like a catch.
If she takes a punt on him, I'm pretty sure it will go the distance. Their love actually transcends seas because they're "real worldwide." But I guess we'll just have to see how it (re)plays out.
Understandable then that this guy isn't going to do things by halves to get his baby girl. He promises to be her melody and write her the symphony of her fantasies. I personally wouldn't expect anything less.
