Lyrics
Don?t Save Me
Words and music by Beth Thornley
2001 Stiff Hips Music
V1: Just for a moment we?ll play it your way.
Give me the clothes and we?ll see how it goes.
But don?t forget it?s a luxury, this little whim
and if I can?t trick ?em they won?t let me in.
V2: This corset takes my breath but I?ll play along.
Without it are you afraid I?ll come undone?
Now you?ve completed your task with warmest disregard
and you say it?s a start. I say Lily Bart. So
Chorus: Don?t save me.
Don?t save me.
Don?t save me.
You?ve done enough.
V3: Now that I?m in, I?d rather be out.
But that first step?s a bitch; it?s a long way down .
And these shoes never fit, there?s not even a prize.
But your mood has lifted; you fought the good fight. So
Chorus: Don?t save me.
Don?t save me.
Don?t save me.
You?ve done enough.
Bridge: You could come clean.
This stuff you heaped is rather cruel.
Don?t you think?
Your good intent is dispensed with such pretense it?s left me bent.
I recognize this exercise as your attempt to canonize and
I don?t need more of your kind deeds.
Chorus: Don?t save me.
Don?t save me.
Don?t save me.
You?ve done enough.
