A Cursed Miss Maybellene - Tullycraft

Let’s start a band, we’ll call ourselves A Cursed Miss Maybellene

I’ve got a practice amp and drum set we can use

We’ll build a bomb made up of slogans painted A to Z

And let the post-punk modern history light the fuse

We won’t defend the bangs or badly drawn boy Plasticine

We count them cursed among the richest of the thieves

Another Tuesday night at Max’s Kansas City looms

Cardboard guitars cut out for riffs play metal leads

A Cursed Miss Maybellene

Claimed witness to the fall and saw the death of rock’n’roll

Picked up the pieces at Gomorrah’s jubilee

Just barely noticed by the art punks and the Velvet’s fans

Still never managed to escape obscurity

By '81 we’d ushered in the brave casino sound

A fatal list of fashion points and played 'em dead

We called on Shelly, also known as Shirley Shirley pops

To help us change it all to something new instead
