Lyrics

Wanna have more variety
Less is more. From a new tree
It may define you, but it’s not for me
Law of diminishing marginal utility

I gotta go, I gotta break free
Cos there is only one of me
You want a menagerie
Can you really have fruit from every tree?

It doesn’t matter what I say
You see less of me every day
You say you’ve reached the downward path
Of the diminishing marginal utility graph
I said, “What does that mean, and what’s more….
You were never like this before
At the start you wanted me all the time
Your eagerness is in steep decline”

She said, “Babe, it’s like this
It’s not like we’ve had our first kiss
Take apples for instance – the first is the best
After the second and third, more is less
I like more choice. With fruit the example
Want to have a bigger range to sample
I know for sure you are not forgiving
But only eating apples is just not living”

Wanna have more variety
Less is more. From a new tree
It may define you, but it’s not for me
Law of diminishing marginal utility

It quickly became crystal clear
I didn’t need another type of beer
She wouldn’t accept my position.
No need to have this inhibition
Although I was happy with what I had
She said, “to be with me you gotta be bad.
You can’t say that it’s a sin.
Especially with you living in Berlin”

And so I began to retaliate
To be creative. Time to innovate
I tried every fruit and vegetable known to man
Every shape and size from the greengrocers van
The project took some time and skill
With discipline and military drill
Lost count of how many – more than twenty
Problem not resolved. Still feeling empty

Is grass greener on the other side?
Got to say you tried?
Is a bird in the hand worth two in the bush?
An extra push?
Is variety the spice of life?
Jealousy and strife?
Or are you a man for all seasons
Doing it all for the right reasons

Wanna have more variety
Less is more. From a new tree
It may define you, but it’s not for me
Law of diminishing marginal utility

I gotta go, I gotta break free
Cos there is only one of me
You want a menagerie
Can you really have fruit from every tree?
