Is it conceited to really, really like your own lyrics? Because I really like the lyrics I wrote for this one. I feel like it's some of my best work... So, this song goes in when Jane is about 20, and she's under a lot of pressure from her grandmother to try and secure a wealthy husband so that she never has to worry about money or anything, especially since this takes place toward the end of the depression. Jane is completely fed up with how all these guys just want a pretty face and nothing more, but she's expected to be polite to them anyway.
Character: Jane
Favorite Line: "In every bachelor batch/ finding your perfect match/ but a girl made of paper/ is easily burned."
Hardest Line to Write: "They tell you to be polite/ hoping that someone might/ fall for a girl/ with her pages unturned."
Why: Do you know how hard it is to rhyme the word "burned" within the context of this song? Very. It took me forever to come up with something suitable for this line...
