Frankie Asks The Big Questions Lyrics

Frankie, if you're angry you should let yourself cry

You will never have an answer so don't ask yourself why

It's a waste of time, frankly,

If you're so inclined, Frankie,

You should get yourself high, dye your hair and get a nose ring and

Cop on

Before you know it this will all be gone

The way of pennies and of blights, and of your cemetery nights, so walk on

You are stoned and you are strange

You are terrible at change

so you should die a tiny death and close your eyes and take a breath

And

Settle yourself, Francine

The things you said when you were off your head don't make you a libertine

You're just a mean drunk, Francine you've been sunk

By a guy you made of polythene

Now you won't live to see nineteen

Francine

You've been wrapped up in white flannel, you've been pinned onto the wall

Remember when the sky was wide and you were ten feet tall?

And the city opened up and you just let yourself fall

You never thought "when I am halfway down, who will I call?"

And now you're small and you have cracked your lovely crown

There's no more gossamer and gold, just pick yourself up off the ground

And move on,

This does not make you profound, Frankie,

You know how you're wound, Frankie,

Far too tight for far too long, so get up and get on

And

Settle yourself, Francine

The things you said when you were off your head don't make you a libertine

You're just a mean drunk, Francine you've been sunk

By a guy you made from polythene

Now you won't live to see nineteen

Francine
