I haven't posted anything other than words for a while. How about some song lyrics?
Below are the lyrics from the song Showgirl by The Auteurs. The song was written by is sung by guitarist Luke Haines. It was The Auteurs' first single in 1992. In my opinion, it's an awesome song, interesting both musically and lyrically.
SHOWGIRL
I took a showgirl for my bride
Thought my life would be right
Took her bowling got her high
Got myself a showgirl bride
Took a job on the side
in a health shop keeps me well
Got my mantra for life
Got my karma and a showgirl bride
All my life
All her life
All our life
I married a showgirl that's for life
I married a showgirl that's for life
She can't work in the wintertime
And I can't work anytime now
Go to libraries all the while
Looking for a notice
Bide my time
All my life
All her life
All our life
I married a showgirl that's for life
I married a showgirl that's for life
I took a showgirl for my bride
Sprinkled stardust on my wife
Took her bowling got her high
Got myself a showgirl bride
Got myself a showgirl bride
Don't you recognize us?
Don't you recognize us?
A picture is worth a thousand words, they say. A video should be worth more. Here's a link to the video of The Auteurs - Showgirl on YouTube.
