My Audience (Hasn't Been Born Yet) Lyrics

First member of my audience was born in '45

At 23 decided she would help bring me alive

Which is fine as far as I can see I've had a lovely time

It did serve to condition me against the lonely climb

Up a mountain made of compromise and heartbreaking regret

The remainder of my audience has clearly not been born yet

Next member of my audience was born in '70

Sister to my soul gave me a life near heavenly

Which is mine and I thank God it is

I lay it down each day

However I see fit 'cause you won't hear it anyway

No reason to apologize and no reason to fret

The remainder of my audience has clearly not been born yet

I'm one of those

I'm one of those

Kings and queens in peasant clothes I'm one of those

I'm one of those

I'm one of those

Oh that's how it usually goes

Heaven knows

Heaven knows

Third member of my audience was born 2002

She's one of four invested now unlike the rest of you

Which is fine 'cause it was down to me

No need to be a grouch

Never R.E.M.'d it in a van or slept on someone's couch

I still know what I'm doing is as good as it can get

The remainder of my audience has clearly not been born yet

I'm one of those

I'm one of those

Royalty in peasant clothes

I'm one of those

Hey I'm one of those

I'm one of those

Man that's how it more often goes

Heaven knows

Oh heaven knows

I'm more than satisfied to play this cheeky little tune

And I won't be cutting off my ear anytime soon

Way too busy working baby

Not enough yet shared

Years from now my audience will know how much I cared

Years from now my audience will know how much I dared
