What She Said
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
What she said
How come someone hasn't noticed
That I'm dead
And decided to bury me?
God knows, I'm ready
What she said was sad
But then, all the rejection she's had
To pretend to be happy
Could only be idiocy
What she said was not for the job or
Lover that she never had
What she read
All heady books
She'd sit and prophesize
(It took a tattooed boy from Birkenhead)
(To really, really open her eyes)
What she read
All heady books
She'd sit and prophesize
(It took a tattooed boy from Birkenhead)
(To really, really open her eyes)
What she said
I smoke 'cause I'm hoping for an
Early death
And I need to cling to something
What she said
I smoke 'cause I'm hoping for an
Early death
And I need to cling to something
