about

Anyone you know? Joan was writ in planes and airports from March 1995 to June 2008 when she finally got a hearing at Joe's Pub, NYC. Say no to martyrdom and tooth decay and yes to owning up to yer own dumb things.

lyrics

Picture a cook, doing her boil
and toil, she got lunch to spoil
Get the smell of sweat and regret
it's the stench of all she can't forget
Smashin’ mash like it's trenches she's diggin’
string beans in a watery grave
and gin gin gin gin gin...

Twenty long years she been ploughin’ this pot
Kneadin’ her list of all he's not
Still she choses to suck on her bruises
sustained, long explained in whispers to Susan on the phone
as she's stirring her potion
grindin’ eternal in a circular motion
flamin’ her fires, it's a habitual devotion

She's servin it up, her favourite grub
Joan, Joan, Joan, Joan - Joan of Burwood

He's heard it before,
She gonna walk out the door
All he ever does is take take take
All she ever does is burn that steak
And hair of steam, foully brewing
She's servin’ it up and she ain't gonna stop,
Servin’ it up - Joan of Burwood
