Good to see this song getting its own thread! By far one of the best songs Daniel has ever done.

It's all him, and definitely among my top 10 favorite Johnston songs.
It'll bring you to tears. Or at least a sniffle.

Nothing
Daniel Johnston

Not that you want to be
Out of curiosity
Just a corsage of the world
I was in love with a girl
I would the violence foresee


All that it ought to be
Blessed by generosity
Sure to put your heart in a whirl
Stop to pick up a dollar bill
As the blood drips at the mill


You have fried chicken
You ate it up so fast
Laid down its life just for you
Now you have nothing to do
Just a television tube


Oh for goodness sake
And the love you make
Skipping stones at the lake
You have a half baked idea
To think we’d be so glad to see ya


Lost in your lonely room
How they grow up and bloom
Young girls in the magazine
How they took part in your doom
Baby step out of the room


Hunger and lust for life
She was like any housewife
Darning the socks with concern
Glad you ever were born
Just to get up in the morn


Though all the while you were
Surrounded by amateurs
Crazier than love shows insane
Thinking your hope was refrained
And the emotional pain


Nothing to do but cry
As you dry your eyes
Watching the soap opera die
Longing for the freedom of success
When we’re all just a temporary guest


Living in such a mess
I’ll bring you back again
To the flight you used to have been
How could you really win
Pledging your resistance to sin?


Applied in the twilight
Anything to make it right
When there’s nothing left but nothing
But an empty song
Why did it have to go wrong


How it all works out
Something about it so
Thinking that love is a crime
You were a friend of mine
Standing there with missed time


You’re gonna make it Joe
That is sure too follow
Happy to be that way
Tomorrow is a brand new day
What do you have to say?


Nothing.


Note: (These lyrics may need a little tweaking)

That song is absolutely amazing. I have heard it a million times.
The first time I heard it I was so stunned I got misty eyed!
