Nerina Pallot - Dear Frustrated Superstar Lyrics
Dear Frustrated Superstar, your mother's waiting in the carTo whisk you off to your new premiereAnd all the friends who knew your nameAre waiting, wondering what becameOf the girl that they once knew but never lovedThey never loved.So every city tells the lieOf beggars, tramps and butterfliesOf all these things, then what am I?A princess in a threadbare gown,A gaudy, painted circus clown?A child who lost her key and can't get home?All the things I never was -A traitor in the Western WarsA girl who did it just because.Do or die, or don't at allPrepare to suffer for your callSome things have to hurt or they're not true.They can't be trueWhen you die, you'll wonder, "was that it?"Will you think of how you'd wished you lived?Well, you're here nowYes you're here now.So I only want to be up thereWith a hundred others, I don't care'Cause I'm here nowYes I'm here now.Papers, books, philosophyAn envelopes eternityI count each passing minute, hour, day.....Wonder how I smile so well,Wonder how they never tellThere's really no one living here at all.So here a line from God's own songTo comfort you when things go wrongMy children never visit anymore.Go searching in my sky at nightThey must be there to set alightTheir mothers aching heart is so unsureI'm so unsure....When you die, you'll wonder, "was that it?"Will you think of how you'd wished you lived?Well, you're here nowYes you're here now.So I only want to be up thereWith a hundred others, I don't care'Cause I'm here nowYes I'm here now.Dear Frustrated Superstar, I really hope you get that farIf not, I hope you liveI hope you live.
