lyrics

Thank God I lost you when I did
I'd hate for you to see me like this
Staggering in sandals and clinging onto restaurants
There was a promise I forgot
A couple of things I left out
And I won't be leaving here anytime soon
Blow out the candles
Blow out the candles
Blow out the candles, it isn't too late
I'm gonna be a lady of the court
Better not wait up for me
Unlikely princess in the eyes of the day old drunks
I've never been the girl whose name is in the title
The story is ending and the world just blurs away
I'm turning pages and waiting on that hero
I am a guardian of thieves
Flying on unbuttoned sleeves
Falling in the backstreets, but not for too long
I'm gonna be a lady of the court
Better not wait up for me
From now on I'll number my years in the stories I couldn't phone home
From now on I'll number my years in the parties I had to phone in
I'm told this is fun I'm having now
You call this a chance in hell?
Didn't think I had one
Not one of my banner nights
I swear I'll do better next time
In the meantime, I'm consolation
You and your hostage audience
Jokers and copycat blonds
But I got my mask on and I'm slipping out the side way
I'm gonna be a lady of the court
Better not wait up for me
So your highness, we're as separate as we're meant to be
The palace steps are empty, for a second we were
United in our twin miseries
Pretty little tragedies keep me entertained
Nobody take my hand
Nobody lead me home
Nobody lay me down...
Grace of the godless, sing me a song and say
How did I get here, how did I get here?
Kissing his feet as he strings me along
How did I get here, how did I get here?

about

Hannah vs. The Many Brooklyn, New York

"(Fairchild's)songs play out like tiny musicals - they’re dramatic, punchy, and lightly dusted with Stephen Sondheim’s lyricality ... you can hear a likeness to his dark theatre in her music."

- WNYC Soundcheck

"The key's in the name. Hannah vs The Many. Not Hannah AND The Many... You wouldn't want to be part of the "Many" Hannah Fairchild's ferociously taking down - track by track."
- Deli NYC
