Ode To Taylor Swift and the Car Park Incident

Ode to Taylor Swift and the Car Park Incident

Today I saw the most ridiculous thing 
Taylor Swift existing backwards from a car park 
So she wouldn’t be seen 
On her un-best side that is
Does she look beautiful on one side 
And from the other a fiend?  
Has she been fooling us all these years? 
And maybe the other half of her is green?

Her management team seemed concerned
To get her in the car 
Without the un-best side been seen 
Which might make us go AAAAAGGHH!!!!
And then she was spirited away 
Without sight of the other side, which is green

Thanks Christ they cried! 
Her career has lived to fight another day 
What would we do without the likes of this 
Increasingly skinny child in our way
Making a mint for us every day
Why she does all the work and starves herself, while we get royally paid! 
Why let her green side get in the way?!


This recent behaviour smacks of a change of direction 
(Maybe that’s what the green is it’s with the new wind – she’s caught an infection)
Has she milked the country market for too long? 
Or is there more money in pop to be got?
Where all its stars have to appear
To be anything they are not 
Oh no!  Taylor perhaps you have a spot!

Because it’s not to do with music any more 
It’s about selling you everything that 
Lines the shelves of your local store
The creams, lotions, potions and more 
Dreams you will never have because they’re not real
But all available on finance or for a steal!
And in case you think to poor Taylor I am being mean 
There are literally thousands of them worldwide on the scene 

She now appears no different to the ones that have come before 
Too skinny generic and anything but poor
Never sad, mad or bad 
Unless they’re carving out an adult carer –  you know like that lad 
It’s ok though he’s cleaned up 
You know ‘The Beebster’ who since his crimes 
Has been on Oprah, found god, and got away with it a thousand times

You see they’re just a kind (and not just Taylor and Our Just) 
With a management team an image 
With only a $ sign on their mind
To the real value of music they are all completely blind
They’re everything real music is not 
So to this image conscious lot their
Management Teams and ‘friends’
From those who love music – F*CK OFF!
And let the world of music just breathe again
So we can at last we can all make some real music loving friends

Very interesting read. It's so sad when talent gets marketed in that way. :( The music industry as well as the film industry suffer from all that you have mentioned. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this with us.

Does anybody still listen to her music? My teenagers do not and neither do I. My husband thinks if she was a cow he'd shoot her to put her out of her misery--too thin and poor. Perhaps not in money but she has bankrupted herself to all that is important. Thanks I enjoyed!
