Please
Nellie McKay
I mean, I must have said:
"Please, Lord, Send me a hard luck childhood"
"Please, Bub, Spare me a hot romance"
"Please, Lady, Gift me with genius, not pleasure"
"Please, Mrs. Henry, Start me off without a chance"
I must have said:
"Please, Sir, Let me lay in the sewer that claim me
And let me wallow there, even as I lose my sea"
"Please, Mr. Hula Hoop, Keep on ballistic
You must be a manic guy to be so sadistic"
"Please, Lord, I just love being me"
For every mom-and-pop and College Green
The harvest moon, a lynchin' tree
'Cause an Americana misery
Makes what a mess of me
That underwater conversation
Hasn't got a clue
She should know real hardship
