Mole

Lyrics

This song is a true story. I’ve been ratting myself out on this one. There’s a trick you can do… if I ever run a writer’s workshop, which I don’t suspect I will ever, ever do, this would be one of the tricks I would- no, because I don’t want to tell people what to do or how to do it. It’s not my style. But one thing you can do is, if you want to tell somebody about yourself but you don’t want to be a tiresome person writing autobiography all the goddamn time, just put it in the second person. Nobody ever guesses. You could be absolutely writing the absolute, God’s own truth about a thing that happened to you when you were seventeen, you put it in second person, ‘Oh, it’s another story he’s telling.’ (2017-12-14)
