Mansion Song Lyrics

Cover art for Mansion Song lyrics by Kate Nash

I feel like the part about the "take a piece of raw vegetable and hold it to your breast and say that you stood for nothing" refers to the whole domestic housewife thing and knowing that your place should be in the kitchen and that whole notion that women will not amount to anything else.

& maybe that whole "that girl should have been a mansion" thing is about how women are just treated like pieces of property and that they're expected to be nice and fancy and pretty on the outside, but are usually pretty empty on the inside because they have nothing to fill themselves with (ie. passion).
