An autobiographical song that I accidentally wrote one day instead of going to work on time. Copyright Katherine Christie Evans 2016.

This is a song about how difficult it is to be a creative in London these days, financially and emotionally.

hand to mouth living off the state in Tottenham (The) dole is mean and it keeps your chances lean oh I gotta work for free Why did I pay for a degree? And my head is full of to do lists Don’t remember how to just exist No foot is in the door- elitist jobmarket privilege; it's not a level playing field Who gave you a platform? I could try, but I’ll always be an outlier Unless I can commodify me apply for smug bursary You pat your own back! you could meet me at kings x rail, I will wander north away from crowds, you know I hate crowds I follow train tracks building sites, hard hats. And I don’t think I can be that girl But your face is a city at night, it comes alive after dark Only for me, Behind your front line, where you keep your promises You can let them all down. I’ll wear your crown Be your prince under a frown, who rides through traffic London’s static, But I'm your steady girl! x
