BALLAD OF SHARON DEPAYGNE

Thank god for indiscretion
Thank god for throwing up
Thank god for blemished blessings
And TV cars that are blowing up
Thank god for circumstance
Thank god for Divine Intervention
Thank god for slug juice, baby
And thank god for indiscretion

CHORUS: She's banging 'round on tin rooftops
Singing songs in the rain
Craziest thing I ever seen
Was the death of Sharon DePaygne

She lived low by the riverside
With the trolls beneath the bridge
She never wanted to cause any trouble
She used to cook the poor people porridge

Used to go to church on Sunday
Although she never quite understood
But she never got married ever,
And god knows she never would

CHORUS

She mighta never been a famous grrrl
You mighta maybe never heard of her
She mighta been yer neighbor down in the city
You mighta been the other side of the wall
Inspectors combing through her diary later
On the page they found a simple confession:
"I'm gonna live forever in obscurity,
and thank god for indiscretion."

CHORUS
