Testo Someone Else's Muse - Parenthetical Girls
Testo della canzone Someone Else's Muse (Parenthetical Girls), tratta dall'album Privilege
It took all the strength I knew not to consume you
And was all that I could muster just to kiss you
Watched my waist for days to take this place beside you
Like the way the one who loves you is supposed to
The way you used to
Did you forget?
When all who'd soon surpass me sought respect
The press still hung on every envied breath
And could you blame them?
We both said things that we'd come to regret
Here comes success, you cash the cheques
You take my name
And braved it with this patience of the saints
I flirted with a fame which never came
Did doubts dissuade you?
Took pains to say let nature have her way
And of course she did, and you bore the kid
These pangs of pride as every eye moves on to you
And though you quiet every room
It's sometimes hard to hear the truth
And sighs aside, the way the limelights long for you
They shine their colours on me too
And now there's nothing I can do
What child is this?
The heir to my elusive parentage
That face of his could take him far from this
But I'm still childless
And neither knows just who the father is
The rabbit's dead and she easily led
You've made your name
And trouble loves the cuckold of acclaim
These kids can't sense the difference either way
And can you blame them?
When all my memories now bear your name
And sure we've been blessed, well, more or less
These pangs of pride as every eye collides with you
And though you quiet every room
It's always hard to hear the truth
And sighs aside, the way the limelight smothers you
They cast their colours on me too
Now they'll remember me through you
Does this amuse you?
Am I supposed to?
It wasn't meant to
Pay your respects
It's grand, I guess, to treat this like a death
Though now somehow less readily erect
I might surprise you
And rise to the occasion now and then
Flesh of my flesh, don't hold your breath
Is life unkind?
Well pride resolves of all things in due time
But who contrives this legacy I leave behind?
To those born after
Obliged to let the master think she's right
Oh, long-suffering wife
Hell or high tide, I'm by your side
It took all the strength I knew not to consume you
And was all that I could muster just to kiss you
Watched my waist for days to take this place beside you
Like the way the one who loves you is supposed to
I have my use too
