letra de try not to die - mitch benn and the distractions

so this is the end the curtain is falling
your fans hold their breath and they wait for the news
when from the other side of town
comes word that something’s down
and though its a shame
they’ve forgotten your name
before you are cold in the ground

so try not to die whatever you do
the same time as someone more famous than you
instead of making your mark on history
you’ll be on page twenty three
and try not to go whenever you go
the same time as somebody everyone knows
it’s your final chance to get some attention
you’ll be lucky if you get … a mention

case in point who remembers lee brilleaux
he was dr. feelgood’s lead singer much missed by his fans
and i have no doubt
his passing would be more talked about
if he hadn’t died of cancer the very same week as
kurt cobain decided to blow his brains out

so try not to die whatever you do
the same time as someone more famous than you
instead of wondering how we’ll manage without you
we’ll forget about you
and try not die, try not to expire
the same time as someone more loved and admired
instead of being lamented i fear ya
we’ll banish you to … the general hysteria
[spoken:]
june 25th 2009, farrah fawcett passed away and the world mourned
for 4 and a half hours and then michael jackson died and they all forgot who she was
and there have been others
jim henson died may 16th, 1990 but n0body noticed because sammy davis junior did too
carl sawatski’s death might have been a bigger deal if freddie mercury hadn’t gone a few hours later
and, of course, buddy holly, ritchie valens, and the big bopper all died of february 3rd 1959
although that wasn’t really a coincidence

so try not to die however you die
the same time as someone whose profile is higher
it’ll make you a total non story
it’s your last chance for glory
and try not die, whatever you do
the same time as someone more famous than you
you’ll disappear into total amnesia
don’t ask me, ask mother theresa
