[00:00.00]Better Me - Daisy Chapman
[00:16.24]Work as waitress
[00:19.52]Pouring coffee laying tables
[00:23.39]It's the default role
[00:26.79]For someone artsy with no credentials
[00:30.87]It's not fine dining
[00:34.95]But the most discerning of places
[00:39.05]But the smears on the window
[00:42.41]Distort the nicest of faces
[00:48.19]So if you recognise me
[00:56.09]Then won't you liberate me
[01:03.15]Come and say how much you love me
[01:10.64]And I will use your contacts to better me
[01:26.46]Local news reporter
[01:29.65]Comes to dine at our venue
[01:33.53]So I slip him a flyer
[01:37.45]As I hand him the menu
[01:41.41]It was a shrewd idea
[01:45.39]From my marketing knowledge
[01:49.49]Born from average grades
[01:53.22]A a mediocre college
[01:58.87]So if you recognise me
[02:06.55]Then won't you liberate me
[02:13.45]Come and say how much you love me
[02:20.95]And I will use your contacts to better me
[03:15.13]Mother why'd you tell me
[03:18.62]That my star shone bright today
[03:22.16]It's all midnight black
[03:26.02]And newspaper grey
[03:30.52]Mother won't you tell me
[03:33.78]If I learnt my lesson well
[03:37.14]'Cos that path is littered
[03:41.56]By the bones of those who tried and failed
