She's So Plain

Ike Reilly

Has anybody here seen that girl?
She's kinda pretty and she's kinda plain
She don't get out much into the world
But if she's here I'm really really really really glad she came

I gotta know, did you come here for the money?
I gotta know, or did you come here for the show?
I gotta know, did you come to see us fail?
Or did you come here 'cause there's no place left to go

Oh doh doh, doh doh doh, bop bah dah dah dah dah
Oh doh doh, doh doh doh, bop bah dah dah dah dah

Under pressure, a sympathy pain
She shot some NyQuil but it didn't kick in
Don't be spiteful of all beauty and fame
I'm really really really really really glad you're plain

Somebody told me you're talkin' kinda strange
How you love to eat your lamb and you love your lazy days
And you diet on Easter Sunday, eat chiffon Christmas Day
I'm really really really glad you're plain

I gotta know, did you come here for the money?
I gotta know, or did you come here for the show?
I gotta know, did you come to see us fail?
Or did you come here 'cause there's no place left to go

It's so easy to deny it
It's so easy to deny that you tried to be mine

Oh baby, you've been so good to me
Don't make me believe the things you believe
You know I love ya lav ya lav ya lamb I gotta lazy days
But I love the ladies, I love the ladies, I love the ladies, I love the ladies
But I love the ladies, I love the ladies, I love the ladies, I love the ladies
He loves the ladies, he loves the ladies, he loves the ladies, he loves the ladies
He loves the ladies, he loves the ladies, plain

You're so plain, yeah
You're so plain, oh yeah
You're so plain, that's right
You're so plain

I gotta know, did you come here for the money?
I gotta know, or did you come here for the show?
I gotta know, did you come to party with your people?
Or did you come here 'cause there's no place left to go

Oh doh doh, doh doh doh, bop bah dah dah dah dah
Oh doh doh, doh doh doh, bop bah dah dah dah dah
Oh doh doh, doh doh doh, bop bah dah dah dah dah
Oh doh doh, doh doh doh, bop bah dah dah dah dah
Bah

Alma Matters
Morrissey
The man has pseudo-friends who constantly criticize his actions. They moralize him, "teach" him and advise him to make a significant change in his life, because the way he is and what he does is not what they say it should be. They may find his life lame or immoral. They hold themselves up as role models. The man replies that he will make his own choices and decisions and he does not agree to unconditionally make himself under the influence of questionable quality advice. He justifies this by saying that there is always someone for whom he will be important, no matter what he does and no matter what he is. Although it is not said directly, I read it as meaning that he will always be important to himself in every way and he will always have his own support. "Everyone is different and maybe that's a good thing, but you exceeded that mark 1000 times" - I remember very well how sad the words I once heard (from my peers and it was in negative context) at school made me feel.

Avenged Sevenfold
Matt Shadows their lead singer says the song was written as per request from the developers of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. Watching the initial trailers for the game & looking at production sketches reminded him of the 'S-Town' podcast & its main protagonist, John B. McLemore. Matt also comments specifically on the lyrics: "I decided that the lyrics would shadow McLemore's life." In 2012, antiquarian horologist John B. McLemore sent an email to the staff of the show 'This American Life' asking them to investigate an alleged murder in his hometown of Woodstock, Alabama, a place McLemore claimed to despise. After a year of exchanging emails & several months of conversation with McLemore, producer Brian Reed traveled to Woodstock to investigate. Reed investigated the crime & eventually found that no such murder took place, though he struck up a friendship with the depressed but colorful character of McLemore. He recorded conversations with McLemore & other people in Woodstock. McLemore killed himself by drinking potassium cyanide on June 22, 2015 while the podcast was still in production. In the narrative of the podcast, this occurs at the end of the second episode; subsequent episodes deal with the fallout from McLemore's death while exploring more of McLemore's life & character.
