Harlots
Forever underrated
All at a loss frustrated
Then materialising right before me
In a voice effusive said he had an offer I could not refuse
“I am here to save you
Yes I’m here to save you
I will elevate you
Crowds will love and crave you
Yes - there is a cost - but it’s a tiny wager
When it is compared to all the time I’ll save ya
All you need to do is sign this paper (waiver)
Then you will be on the path to immortality
I will give you all you need
Make it in this vile industry
I will give you all you need
Have millions of people on their knees”
Oh - I wonder should I heed this flattery?
Oh - is this legit or just mere quackery?
I could win the heart of my fair Daphne
If I put the steps in place
This may just crack the market place (oh)
“I will give you all you need
All you have to do is to believe
I will give you all you need
Sign here on this parchment if you please.”
Oh, I could attain the love of millions
Over multitudes I’d have dominion
I could influence and sway opinions
If I mark the dotted line
All this and more could be all mine (oh)
“We’re all harlots
Don’t disagree
You’d sell your grandma
For some popularity
Just sign with me and fame is guaranteed
We’re harlots, harlots, her and you and them and us and him and thee and me.”
“I will give you all you need
Look at what my clients have achieved
I will give you all you need
But you’ll have to act Immediately
Oh the positions are filling quickly
Oh you’ll miss it if I don’t act quickly”
I’m not sure if I have got it in me
To become a huckster hawker haggler faker shyster squawker
Swindler schemer spiv or scammer shark or scoundrel spy or spammer
“We’re all harlots
Don’t disagree
You’d sell your children
For some popularity
Just sign with me the money’s guaranteed
We’re harlots, harlots, her and you and them and him and us and you and me.”
Thinking music.
I’m no harlot I disagree
I’d sell out no one for more mediocrity
I disregard your flimsy guarantees
For I’m no harlot, them not her not me I tell you
I’m no harlot I will not agree
I sell out nobody for notoriety
I disregard your flimsy guarantees
For I’m no harlot, no, not me, not them, not him, not us, not her, not we, not thee, not she, and never me.

the restless dreams of youth
by Tamar Berk
supported by 6 fans who also own “MALAPROPISM”
Shadow Clues was the song the introduced me to Tamar, but Suitcase and Gun is the perfect ending track for an album. Even more so, if you listen to that and automatically go in Start At The End, it feels like a bridge into it. Like going from one stage of life and starting over, only for new situations to arise.
