lyrics

(darling!)

Full feathers, Tuesday, aisle four, looking for oat milk
A woman photographed me without asking, which is rude
I posed anyway, obviously, I am not a monster
(not a monster)
It made a regional newspaper. I have framed that too.

The costume is not a costume (not a costume)
The Tuesday is the costume

The supermarket incident
(incident!)
I have never been more myself in public
The supermarket incident
Four thousand likes and one very confused cashier

My mother sent the clipping to her entire church group
She wrote "my daughter" on it, with an arrow, in biro
That arrow is the single greatest review of my career
(of my career)
Everything after that is just touring

(exposed, no production)
She didn't understand it for nine years.
Then she drew an arrow.
That's all I wanted. That's the whole thing.
(EXPLOSION BACK)

The supermarket incident
(incident!)
I have never been more myself in public
The supermarket incident
Four thousand likes and one very confused cashier

(darling!)
