So Hard Done By (Original Version)

Interesting and sophisticated
Refusing to be celebrated
It's a monumental big-screen kiss
It's so deep, it's meaningless
"One day, I'll just up and quit, yeah, and that'll be it"
Just then, the stripper stopped in a coughing fit
She said, "Sorry, I can't go on with this"
Yeah, that's awful close
But that's not why
I'm so hard done by
It was true cinema: a clef
You should see it before there's nothing left
In an epic too small to be tragic
You'll have to wait a minute, 'cause it's instamatic
Yeah, that's awful close
But that's not why
I'm so hard done by
I'm so hard done by
I'm so hard done by
I'm so hard done by
So hard done by
"One day, I'll just up and quit, and that'll be it"
Just as the room became more dimly lit
In the end, she carried on with it
Yeah, that's pretty close
Well, that could be why
I'm so hard done by
I'm so hard done by
I'm so hard done by
I'm so hard done by
So hard done by
I'm so hard done by
So hard done by
I'm so hard done by
