Better Me

from Shameless Winter by Daisy Chapman

/

lyrics

Work as waitress
Pouring coffee, laying tables
It's the default role
For someone artsy with no credentials
It's not fine dining
But the most discerning of places
But the smears on the window
Distort the nicest of faces.
 
So if you recognise me
Then won't you liberate me
Come and say how much you love me
And I will use your contacts to better me.
 
Local news reporter
Comes to dine at our venue
So I slip him a flyer
As I hand him the menu
It was a shrewd idea
From my marketing knowledge
Born from average grades
A a mediocre college.
 
Mother, why'd you tell me
That my star shone bright today
It's all midnight black
And newspaper grey
Mother, won't you tell me
If I learnt my lesson well
Cos that path is littered
By the bones of those who tried and failed.
