The Anita Effect - a lyric from a song on EVERYTHING WAS FUNNY

 

From Clare Moore "....for me Daves lyric in The Anita Effect is a haunting story of a highly influential woman (women) who moves through a scene leaving her mark, without seeming to touch anything. Often these women are referred to as “Muses “ when in fact they could be the true artists.


I call you – you don’t call me

I don’t like to get called

that stuff in your mind, about me

that was so long ago

when I got exposed

 

I moved out of frame

I call you – I don’t get called

I told Mick “be a little like Brian and a little like Keith

that’s what he did

 

I was a soft explosion

I was just passing through

Prince Stash! Eurotrash!

Tara! Tara! Tara!

 

I call you- I don’t get called

not anymore

I liked the drugs

they were my drug

I call them – they call me

they’re allowed – they’re me

 

Marianne knows! Only Marianne and I could know

we rode in with the boys

told them where to stand

how to say things

what to wear

 

It’s the Anita effect

I call it the Anita effect

don’t ask me

people come into my room

things happen

they stick around - too long

what can I do?

people get hurt

people get lost

people get burned

 

It’s the Anita effect

I call it the Anita effect
