UNNECESSARY
Patty Griffin

Unnecessary, no longer extraordinary

no longer the height of fashion

or the subject of a passion

stretch pants, bee lines (?) love and soverance (?) trivialized

bouncing baby on her big thighs

suddenly she realizes

unnecessary, unnecessary, unnecessary, unnecessary

she's unnecessary, no longer extraordinary

no longer the height of fashion or the subject of a passion

sister, brother, it's so hard to fuck (??) a mother

what is it we give each other

what is it we take away?

unnecessary, unnecessary, unnecessary unnecessary

unnecessary, no longer extraordinary

no longer the height of fashion or the subject of a passion
