Simone writes little of much consequence
Unless the theater’s how you pay the rent
A new work of some semi-memoir sits
Inside the weekend book editors desk
Simone writes little of much consequence
Unless the theater’s how you pay the rent
A new work of some semi-memoir sits
Inside the weekend book editors desk
And while they have not mentioned it
She must watch roses get thrown at less
Oh, the indignity
[Chorus]
It was just the thing for their Q4
“Deeply funny” was the rave refrain
It was just the thing for their Q4
It’ll be on stands before the holidays
[Verse 2]
Her sister was not much long for this world
She danced as if a dancer danced as if
As if she had a body to sustain
As if an audience to entertain
This ironic distance kept her sane
While her vessel sailed away
It was all very literary
And the truth was
[Chorus]
It was just the thing for their Q4
What’s “deeply funny” mean anyhow?
It was just the thing for their Q4
These are the stories that we need right now
[Bridge]
How could she compete?
(I’m sure she wouldn’t mind)
With a memory such as she
(But who else than I)
Leigh died so many months ago
(Could write the story of her life?)
“By now this tragedy’s my own!”
Oh, oh
[Chorus]
It was just the thing for their Q4
“Deeply funny” was the rave refrain
It was just the thing for their Q4
It’ll be on stands before the holidays
It was just the thing for their Q4
The film adaptation was a total mess
It was just the thing for their Q4
’Til she was outed for her privilege
It was just a thing for their Q4
Can’t see her brother now unsupervised
It was just the thing for their Q4
Her family switched care right when she inquired
Simone piše malo mnogo toga
Osim ako kazalište plaćate najam
Novi rad nekih polu-memoara sjedi
Unutar vikend urednika urednika
I dok to nisu spomenuli
Ona mora gledati kako se ruže bacaju manje
Oh, poniženje
[Chorus]
To je bila samo stvar za njihov Q4
"Duboko smiješno" bio je rave suzdržan
To je bila samo stvar za njihov Q4
Bit će na štandovima prije blagdana
[Stih 2]
Njezina sestra nije bila mnogo dugo za ovaj svijet
Plesala je kao da plesačica plesala kao da
Kao da ima tijelo za održavanje
Kao da publika zabavi
Ova ironična udaljenost zadržala je razumnu
Dok je njezino plovilo otplovio
Sve je to bilo vrlo književno
I istina
[Chorus]
To je bila samo stvar za njihov Q4
Što je "duboko smiješno" znači bilo gdje?
To je bila samo stvar za njihov Q4
To su priče koje trebamo sada
[Most]
Kako se mogla natjecati?
(Siguran sam da vam ne bi smetalo)
S memorijom kao što je ona
(Ali tko je još i)
Leigh je umro prije mnogo mjeseci
(Može napisati priču o njezinu životu?)
"Do sada ova tragedija je moja!"
Oh, oh
[Chorus]
To je bila samo stvar za njihov Q4
"Duboko smiješno" bio je rave suzdržan
To je bila samo stvar za njihov Q4
Bit će na štandovima prije blagdana
To je bila samo stvar za njihov Q4
Filmska prilagodba bila je totalna nered
To je bila samo stvar za njihov Q4
- Dok nije bila izblijedjela za njezinu privilegiju
To je bila samo nešto za njihov trok
Ne mogu vidjeti njezin brat sada bez nadzora
To je bila samo stvar za njihov Q4
Njezina je obitelj prebacila brigu o tome kad je upitala
