Well
you made your bed
better lie in it - get back to sleep !
You should see me when you're not around
I'm a genius in this town
I'm a queen bee when the coast is clear
now I know I don't need you dear
So leave your hand like a magic man and disappear!You're history
like a beat up car
No good for me
like an old film star
You're history
that's what you arena na na na
Shakespears Sister (originally Shakespear's Sister) was a band formed by Irish-born former Bananarama singer/songwriter Siobhan Fahey and American musician Marcella Detroit. The name is taken from the title of the song "Shakespeare's Sister" by The Smiths, which in turn refers to a section of Virginia Woolf's feminist essay A Room of One's Own, in which Woolf argues that if William Shakespeare had had a sister of equal genius, as a woman in those days she would not have had the opportunity to make use of it. The band's name lost its final "e" when a friend making a woodcut logo for Fahey misspelt the most common modern spelling of Shakespeare. The cover of the first album, Sacred Heart, clearly includes an apostrophe (i.e. Shakespear's Sister), but this too was subsequently lost through simple carelessness and apathy.
