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 skriver lidt af meget konsekvens
Medmindre teatret er, hvordan du betaler lejen
Et nyt arbejde af nogle semi-memoir sidder
Inde i weekenden Book Editors Desk
Og mens de ikke har nævnt det
Hun må se roser blive kastet på mindre
Åh, indigniteten
[Kor]
Det var bare sagen for deres q4
"Dybt sjovt" var raven afstår
Det var bare sagen for deres q4
Det vil være på stande før ferien
[Vers 2]
Hendes søster var ikke meget lang for denne verden
Hun dansede som om en danser dansede som om
Som om hun havde en krop til at opretholde
Som om et publikum at underholde
Denne ironiske afstand holdt hendes sane
Mens hendes fartøj sejlede væk
Det var alle meget litterære
Og sandheden var
[Kor]
Det var bare sagen for deres q4
Hvad betyder "dybt sjovt" alligevel?
Det var bare sagen for deres q4
Det er de historier, vi har brug for lige nu
[Bro]
Hvordan kunne hun konkurrere?
(Jeg er sikker på, at hun ikke ville have noget imod)
Med en hukommelse som hun
(Men hvem ellers end jeg)
Leigh døde så mange måneder siden
(Kunne skrive historien om hendes liv?)
"Ved nu denne tragedie er min egen!"
Åh, Oh.
[Kor]
Det var bare sagen for deres q4
"Dybt sjovt" var raven afstår
Det var bare sagen for deres q4
Det vil være på stande før ferien
Det var bare sagen for deres q4
Filmtilpasningen var et totalt rod
Det var bare sagen for deres q4
'Til hun var udadtil for hendes privilegium
Det var bare en ting for deres 4. kvartal
Kan ikke se sin bror nu unsupervised
Det var bare sagen for deres q4
Hendes familie skiftede sig rigtigt, da hun spurgte
