about

from the new album "Head Case' on Brown Chair Records. We like to think of it as the lost song from the "Pretty in Pink" soundtrack.

lyrics

I am a coaster
You are the date
They lay things on me
Just while they wait
And at a dinner
You are the plate
I am the placemat
Crumb-catching fate

I wanna be the prettiest girl

You're avant garde
I am cliché´
You come in first
I come too late
And at a party
You're center stage
I hold the pieces
Behind the shades

I wanna be the prettiest girl

Pulled him up without a second glance
All the weeks I wooed the same romance
Painted coffee cups and galleries
Invitations from the Warholese

I am a coaster
You are the date
They lay things on me
Just while they wait
And at a dinner
You are the plate
I am the placemat
Crumb-catching fate

I'll never be the prettiest girl
You'll always be the prettiest girl
