[Verse 1]
I've got a pocketful of words in my brain
I pull something out when I think I should
I feel like I'm going insane
I'm not, I just said it 'cause I thought I would
I always feel the need to profane
I've always said 'fuck' when I thought I could
To me, this seems so inane
[Chorus]
I don't need an attitude
Rebellion is a platitude
I only hope the verse is good
I hate verisimilitude
[Verse 2]
I've got a reason to think of your name
I always feel good when I look at you
I never feel the need to defame
Irony is something I mistook in you
I know our needs are the same
I'm thankful for not overlooking you
Still I need to declaim
[Chorus]
I don't need an attitude
Rebellion is a platitude
I only hope the verse is good
I hate verisimilitude
[Chorus]
I don't need an attitude
Rebellion is a platitude
I only hope the verse is good
I hate verisimilitude
[Verse 3]
I've got a pocketful of words in my brain
I'll try to find something I can give to you
I feel like I'm going insane
I know I'll calm down when I live with you
You always feel the need to profane
I guess that's something I'll forgive of you
Still I need to explain
[Chorus]
I don't need an attitude
Rebellion is a platitude
I only hope the verse is good
I hate verisimilitude
[Chorus]
I don't need an attitude
Rebellion is a platitude
I only hope the verse is good
I hate verisimilitude
Verisimilitude was written by Raymond McGinley.
Verisimilitude was produced by Teenage Fanclub & David Bianco.
Teenage Fanclub released Verisimilitude on Mon May 29 1995.
According to Raymond McGinley in 1995:
‘Verisimilitude’ is a song about wanting to write a love song that’s honest, rather than just appearing that way.
He elaborated further:
I suppose that when you write a song and there are all types of things in your head, it goes in all sorts of directions....
