Madeline

about

The POV of a naïve artist in the words of their slimy agent. And yes, it's that Madeline.

lyrics

Won't mind if you find a label
if it optimizes me.
I'd like to be signed to cable,
late-night talk showing my CD.

'Cause I've been on my own for years now;
I've been buying my own wine for weeks.
And if I'm out of luck then I guess you're in some
and you'll get me back up on my feet.

'Cause I've been trying to find and to sign at the site
of the little 'X' and the line.
And if you'd like to decide all my life in the lines,
like a book, I'll be Madeline.
Woah, if you want
I can be Madeline.

With agency like yours,
it'd be fine if the bottom fell out.
I'll embrace the name, 'cause you've gotta be famous
to truly win the label of sell-out.

You've got the finest print, you're the best I've been with
and you'll stand right by my side,
to have my back and my interests at heart,
you're contractually obliged to.

'Cause I've been on my own for years now;
I've been buying my own wine for weeks.
And if I'm out of luck then I guess you're in some
and you'll get me back up on my feet.

'Cause I've been trying to find and to sign at the site
of the little 'X' and the line.
And if you'd like to decide all my life in the lines,
like a book, I'll be Madeline.
Woah, if you want
I can be Madeline.

'Cause I've been trying to find and to sign at the site
of the little 'X' and the line.
And if you'd like to decide all my life in the lines,
I'll be your Madeline.
Woah you bet I neglected to check all the rest
I don't expect you to be out of line.
And if you'd like to decide all my life in the lines,
I'll be Madeline
Woah, if you want
I can be Madeline.
