about

Have you ever wished you were the smartest person in the room or at least smarter than you are. Sherlock Holmes Would Know focuses on the rather elementary tale of a hapless fool who suspects his lover of foul play but isn't smart enough to break the case, so he daydreams of being the legendary detective and solving the mystery that is his life. But sometimes mysteries are best left unsolved.

lyrics

Sherlock Holmes Would Know

I wanna be the smartest guy in the room
I wanna pick up on all your clues
Well Sherlock Holmes would know
Yeah Sherlock Holmes would know

I really wanna know where you were last night
And if you were doing something not quite right
Well Sherlock Holmes would know
Yeah Sherlock Holmes would know

I wanna solve the mystery of the guy next door
Who leaves his rubbish by our door
Well Sherlock Holmes would know
Yeah Sherlock Holmes would know

And why his bloody dog always leaves a mess
And how do I get the little shit to confess
Well Sherlock Holmes would know
Yeah Sherlock Holmes would know
He’d know it

And here I stand without a fucking clue
A thousand mysteries inside of you
The only thing that’s left for me to do
Is wonder what the hell Sherlock Holmes would do

Elementary problems get me down
Like are your friends really in town
Well Sherlock Holmes would know
Yeah Sherlock Holmes would know

And when you don’t talk, I can’t work out what’s wrong
I’m not even as smart as John Watson
Well Sherlock Holmes would know
Yeah Sherlock Holmes would know
He’d know it

And here I stand without a fucking clue
A thousand mysteries inside of you
The only thing that’s left for me to do
Is wonder what the hell Sherlock Holmes would do

If I was Sherlock, I’d examine all the clues
And with my superior intellect, I simply would deduce
That you no longer love me
Your friends are not in town
Your sleeping with our neighbour with his rubbish and his hound

And you’re fucking Moriarty
To him it’s just a game
You’re fucking Moriarty
And I’m gonna lose again

You’re fucking Moriarty
To him it’s just a game
Yes, you’re fucking Moriarty
And I’m gonna lose again
I’m gonna fall again,
Oh no

I wanna break the case, I wanna be famous
I wanna take opium to make me think less
Well Sherlock Holmes would know
Yeah Sherlock Holmes would know

I want a rich father who doesn’t care
A violin, sidekick and theatrical flair
Well Sherlock Holmes would know
Yeah Sherlock Holmes would know
He’d know it

But here I stand without a fucking clue
Standing looking gormless right in front of you
Yeah, here I stand without a fucking clue
Still wondering what the hell Sherlock Holmes would do
Oh no
