I Want a Biographer

by Charlie Steady

/

about

This song introduces the character, Magpie. A creative who is so convinced they will be famous, they want to hire a biographer to document the occasion. The song was written and recorded in my bedroom and friends' houses.

lyrics

I see you in the morning time
I see you where there is no shine
But just between you and me
You’re just a pretty little thing to write for me but

Oh I want you to know
That I want you to go
Oh I want you to know
That I want you to

Meet me outside
So I can read your pretty eyes
You’re a stenographer?
What I need is a biographer
Start writing soon
Before the end of June

A writer’s soul is always sad
But it makes other people glad
Your hands start to ache
Here’s another round of details for you to make

Oh I want you to know
That I want you to go
Oh I want you to know
That I want you to
Know Know Know Know
Go Go Go Go

What’s going on here?
This draft wreaks of fear
If you can’t work the crunch
I’ll get started soon enough
Writing down
Pros abound

I’m gonna make it big this time
A nice car you’ll see me drive
No one inside but me
Can’t slow me down
You knew my fate already

Oh I want you to know
That I want you to go
Oh I want you to know
That I want you to

Babe, I’ll head out then
Better things to do instead
When you see me next
Well, you’ll have to read the rest
We’ll you’ll have to read the rest
We’ll you’ll have to read the rest
We’ll you’ll have to read the rest
I never knew
That being seen
That it would change me
