Daphne Dreams of Hollywood

by donk2ymouth   Mar 5, 2018


you're gonna go far kid
you really really are
you have a lot of potential, bud
you could be a superstar
you just have to do
exactly as I ask
no matter the difficulty
its exactly what I need
no matter the task
you understand, you see?
if its glutton or greed
you leave that to me
you've got talent kid
its plain to see
but its not enough
?so get down on your knees
while i snarl and snort
"dont forget the balls" I remind you
as you try to cut it short
welcome to hollywood kid
now leave it or love it
you might have no strings
but you're still my little puppet
you're gonna go far kid
a glass to fortune,
wealth health and fame
indeed, a chalice all for myself
But here, have this noose
Go ahead and hang your shame
sold away to a man in a pin striped suit
with a slick smile like flashing silver
and a burgundy cashmere necktie
you would have gone far kid
you would have been somebody
at least for a little while
you had real stinkin potential
too bad you met the wrong guy.

    Whilst the 'casting couch' is a tale as old as movies, this is particularly relevant right now and I like your satirical take on it here :-) x
