Lyrics
Hear that song on the radio
The one stuck in your head
It’s designed to seize your mind
You’re gonna sing it 'till you are dead
It isn't by your favorite band
It’s by a girl you’ll never know
But the next time you go shopping
She'll tell you where to go
(She sells)
She sells condos by the seashore, she sells
(She sells)
She sells machines to wax the kitchen floor, she sells
(She sells)
She sells to get a slice of the big pie, she sells
But in the end she sells her soul
'Cause she knows that’s what they want to buy
She gave up chasing that hit single
Why should she work so hard
When she can one catchy jingle
And buy a house with a big back yard
The suits fill up her fan club
The boardroom is her gig
Her music plays ten times a day
She must be really big!
(She sells)
She sells condos by the seashore, she sells
(She sells)
She sells machines to wax the kitchen floor, she sells
(She sells)
She sells to get a slice of the big pie, she sells
But in the end she sells her soul
'Cause she knows that’s what they want to buy
Then she finds herself forgettin’
Why she started in the first place
Afternoons at the piano
On daddy’s knee
First a G, now an E
That’s the way, baby
Now it’s contracts
And royalties
And thirty second spots
Don’t make ‘em cry
Just make ‘em buy
And make ‘em buy a lot!
(She sells)
She sells condos by the seashore, she sells
(She sells)
She sells the ointment for that open sore, she sells
(She sells)
She sells to get a slice of that big pie
But she don’t wanna sell herself
So it’s time to say goodbye
Mint-flavored air pollution
Advanced internet solutions
She sells
She sells
She sells
She sells
Goodbye
Goodbye
Song Meaning:
This is Molly singing about her time doing ad jingles, before she started to
try for a comeback (all this backstory is mentioned in the pilot).
"Advanced internet solutions" refers to her jingle for Star-Dot-Star, and
you see the *.* logo in the background on-stage in Encore, when she sings
the song. The song also refers to afternoons at the piano, on daddy's knee,
when she was little -- this was to lay in her father, whom we'd meet in
Banshee, and tell the audience that he was a nicer man when she was little.
