Decemberists, The - Midlist Author Lyrics
I fell upon a Tuesday
When I had just got down to work
And everything went grey
So I caught a bus Wednesday
Thought a vacation well deserved
Address your letters to:
Midlist author (midlist author)
You're never the best but you're never the worst
Why even bother (even bother)
You'll never be last but you'll never be first
Have another taste of fame
When they mispronounce your name
When they mispronounce your name
Strolled along the seaside
Among all the vulgar cheering crowds
And a boy cries for his dog
Stolen by a riptide (stolen by a riptide)
His mother explains he's surely drowned
As he weeps upon a log
And all my readers sing, oh
Midlist author (midlist author)
You're never the best but you're never the worst
Why even bother (even bother)
You'll never be last but you'll never be first
Maybe one more glass of wine
Will make everything seem fine
Maybe everything will seem fine
And nobody's taking chances
Oh, but those, all those dwindling advances
Get you down
They get you down...
Shuffling homeward
I checked the receiver on the phone
No messages returned
So I started up a new thing (started up a new thing)
Something about the sea, a boy, and his dog
And these were the first words:
"Dedication TK"
Oh, midlist author (midlist author)
You're never the best but you're never the worst
Why even bother (even bother)
You'll never be last but you'll never be first
Maybe novel twenty-two
Will make them all remember you

Literally one of the best songs in this 5part mini-macro-macrowave-miget-miniscule-large album.
Fuck you, can’t even listen to a song without having see you around you fucking roach.
I fell upon a Tuesday
When I had just got down to work
And everything went gray
So I caught a bus Wednesday
Thought a vacation well-deserved
And all my edges frayed
Address your letters to:
Midlist author
You're never the best
But you're never the worst!
Why even bother?
You'll never be last
But you'll never be first!
Have another taste of fame
When they mispronounce your name
When they mispronounce your name...
Strolled along the seaside
Amid all the vulgar cheery crowds
And a boy cries for his dog
Stolen by a riptide
His mother explains he surely drowned
As he weeps upon a log
And all my readers sing:
Oh, midlist author
You're never the best
But you're never the worst!
Why even bother?
You'll never be last
But you'll never be first!
Maybe one more glass of wine
Will make everything seem fine
Maybe everything will seem fine...
And nobody's taking chances
And all those dwindling advances
Get you down
They get you dow-o-ow-o-ow-o-own...
Shuffling homeward
I check the receiver on the phone:
No messages returned
So I started up a new thing
Something about the sea, a boy, and his dog
And these were the first words:
Dedication TK
Oh, midlist author
You're never the best
But you're never the worst!
Why even bother?
You'll never be last
But you'll never be first!
Maybe Novel 22
Will make them all remember you...
