These long titles, Lana is stealing Fiona Apple's gig

well she's working with Jack Antonoff and he's a big Fiona's fan so 

can't wait til my latin @ss gets to hear it tomorrow

I mean I love her but she’s turning pretentious, and I feel like she does the bare minimum for her eras now

actually idk because LFL videos were a huge slay but for this album I feel like she’s just throwing a load of songs together and taking selfies for single covers.. the MV will probably just be her singing it in bed too

Lyrics

Spoiler

 

[Verse 1]
I was reading Slim Aarons
And I got to thinking that I thought
Maybe I’d get less stressed, if I was tested less like
All of these debutantes
Smiling for miles in pink dresses and high heels
On white yachts
But I’m not
Baby I’m not
No, I’m not
That I’m not

[Chorus]
I've been tiding around in my ****ing nightgown
24/7, Sylvia Plath
Writing in blood on my walls
'Cause the ink in my pen don't work in my notepad
Don't ask if I'm happy
You know that I'm not but at best I can say
I'm not sad
'Cause hope is a dangerous thing
For a woman like me to have
Hope is a dangerous thing
For a woman like me to have

[Verse 2]
I had fifteen year dances
Church basement romances yeah I've got
Spilling my guts with the Bowery Bums
Is the only love I've ever known
Except for the stage which I also call home
When I'm not serving up God in a burnt coffee pot
For the triad
Hello it's the most famous woman you know on the iPad
Calling from beyond the grave, I just wanna say
"Hi dad"

[Chorus]
I've been tearing up town in my ****ing white gown
Like a goddamn near sociopath
Shaking my ass is the only thing that's
Got this black narcissist off my back
She couldn't care less
And I never cared more
So there's no more to say about that
Except hope is a dangerous thing
For a woman like me to have
Hope is a dangerous thing
For a woman with my past

[Bridge]
There's a new revolution
A loud evolution
That I saw
Born of confusion
And quiet collusion of which
Mostly I've known

A modern day woman
With a weak constitution
'Cause I've got
Monsters still under my bed
That I could never fight off
A gatekeeper carelessly dropping the keys on my night soft

I can RELATE!

What's so bad about the title? 

EDIT: I thought it was just "Hope is a dangerous thing"

[TheSlash 14,539]

If this "long song titles" trend continues I'm afraid to buy two CD's to read all of the titles in full  .

Inb4, her next single's abbreviation doesn't fit in the max amount of characters in a tweet

If Lana released all her old songs in 2019:

Come take a walk on the wild side, let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain 

It’s you it’s you it’s all for you—every little thing I do 

I Can see my baby singing—His parliaments on Fire 

It Took 13 Beaches to Find One Empty, But Finally It’s Mine 

[uvglo 966]

Song is lovelyyyyyyy

[Suspiria 10,683]

It's great to see her lyrics improving so dramatically. She's just matured so much as a lyricist, even since Honeymoon.

The instrumentals on this album so far are really to my taste but they're definitely well done. It's a shame the visuals so far have sucked big time, hopefully the actual album visuals are better than the iphone pictures and videos for the singles...

Tell me I'm your National Anthem (Ooh yeah baby bow down, makin' me so wild now) -Tell me I'm your National Anthem (Sugar sugar, how now, take your body downtown) 

Kiss me hard before you go Summertime sadness - I just wanted you to know That baby, you the best

Title is already the full lyrics or what?
