God Help the Girl Musician, Please Take Heed song lyrics

I'm all alone, this is a holiday

Some bloody holiday

My friends have gone away

They're of the temporary sort, I think

I will be better without

As long as you let me out

To taste the air beside the river

I pick the soundtrack with immaculate care

Such a lot rests upon it

My life upon a song

You don't know how much I need

Musician, please take heed

I thought I might just write a letter

Anything to stay away

From books and lessons today

Besides it's part of my induction

Into the literate world

I am a literate girl

I string the words together softly

I lay my love upon you with each line

A gift of improvising

Removes me from revising

I made a daisy chain from

Phrase, verse, and punctuation

I'll kick this mood off with a change of scene

I bought a leotard and go to the gym

I couldn't get away with wearing in my sweater

But I lost a lot of weight

I think it's down to leaving meat out of my diet as a rule

I won't buy it 'cause it's cruel

And if the nighttime threatens me with pain

I will give in to lust

I will do what I must

I've got a number of a girl I know

Who gets hallucinogens from a pair of hooligans

I'll take a dose, I don't mind trying

She lets me stay there while I leave the ground

I snuggle up beside her

Think that I'll stay til morning

She's got me started yawning...
