lyrics

(darling)

Nobody has ever built a statue to a woman who was easy to work with
Check. Go and check. I will wait. I have checked.
Every bronze woman in every square was a nightmare in a meeting
(in a meeting)
That is not a coincidence, darling, that is the entry requirement

They will call me difficult in the obituary (the obituary)
And they will spell my name correctly, which is the deal

Statue
(statue)
Nobody sculpts the woman who apologised for existing
Statue
Pick one: liked, or remembered. There is no third.

I have been to the funerals of two extremely agreeable women
Both rooms were full, both eulogies were warm, both are forgotten
And I loved them, genuinely, and I will not join them
(will not join them)
I intend to be a problem for a very long time after I die

(exposed, no production)
That is a performance. Obviously that is a performance.
The truth is I would like to be liked AND remembered.
Nobody gets both. I chose. I chose at nineteen. It still stings.
(EXPLOSION BACK)

Statue
(statue)
Nobody sculpts the woman who apologised for existing
Statue
Pick one: liked, or remembered. There is no third.
