1.	TV Mom (Barry & Florence) 02:41	lyrics	buy track
It’s the story Of a lovely lady Punching well below her weight Here’s the story Young Greg Brady Wants to ask you on a date Florence, what are we waiting we for? I swear I’m not a little kid no more See my new perm? It’s out of sight! So meet me on the AstroTurf lawn We’ll share a soda and keep on Keep on keep on dancing all through the night And I know it might seem strange at first But Jan and Peter have done worse TV Mom Yes, TV son? You’re the one Oh my God There’s a spark you can’t deny it, I’m sure TV Dad won’t mind it TV Mom You’re the one Ha, ha, ha Think I love you, TV mom And we’ll just keep it As a secret Sherwood never needs to know Don’t see no wrinkles I’ll call you Twinkles If you call me Johnny Bravo I’ve had this crush since season two The fans say “Marcia Marcia Marcia” yeah, but all I want is you TV Mom Yes, TV son? You’re the one No I’m not So much groovier and hipper than my bitchy TV sisters TV Mom You’re the one Ha, ha, ha Think I love you, TV mom Think I love you, TV mom Yes I think I love you, TV mom
2.	God, the Glamour Of It All (Marilyn & JFK) 05:08	lyrics	buy track
Everyone is voting for Jack His smile overshadows the flack And he can charm his way up to the top A lark for change, a passion for girls He claims he’s here to change the world But looks and soundbites are all that he’s got The nature of charisma strikes again Was bound to let you down, but now he’s dead A bullet makes a martyr from a man And we’ll fall for it time and time again Could weave a fascination like my Marilyn At once an ingenue and tragic heroine To give it all away for fame, to be a friendless household name A tale so quintessentially American Recognized by millions, known by few So as she slept, we dreamed up our own truth It doesn’t have to be real to be true It persisted in imagination and that’s all it had to do Something’s gotta heal me, help me, make me whole Soon as I rule the world or play the leading role I want to rise, I want to fall, my god the glamour of it all yeah You can have my pride, my body, and my soul The goddess of the screen once met the president What happened, well, I’m sure you’ll draw an inference Cause though we know their paths did cross, the details are forever lost But we know better than to ever question it Why not create these infidelities? Cause they’re not people, they’re celebrities And we’ll romanticize toxicity You must admit it makes for more compelling history Something’s gotta heal me, help me, make me whole I’ll never thrive as flesh, just make me a symbol I’ll take that ride, I’ll heed that call, to breathe the glamour of it all yeah You’ll have the power but you’ll never have control Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday mr President Happy birthday to you Though they were dead, their myths had only just been born Let’s drive them to their grave, then praise them when they’re gone A mythic rise, a mammoth fall, my god the glamour of it all yeah So sign me up, I’ll never notice I’ve been conned Don’t wanna live as just another person When I could simply die and be a legend Skip until the end and let me be a myth, a symbol, and a fairytale Maybe i can sit with Jack and Marilyn
