Stella Hurt |
| You should wear your red galoshes |
| Walking o’er the city pride |
| Streets are paved with heaven’s pennies |
| Gutters full of suicides |
| Teddy steadily fell from grace |
| Somewhere near Arcadia |
| Once she overheard a voice |
| That she didn’t hear on the radio |
| Velvet gloves and country clubs |
| Were never going to hold her |
| Ringing the necks of silly southern belles |
| Who wanted to scold her |
| Don’t bring me down |
| I’m trouble bound |
| Blue song, red alert |
| Who made Stella hurt? |
| Teddy soon dropped out of sight |
| Turned up in another town |
| Changed her name for the spotlight |
| Singing like a blue bird in a sequin gown |
| She finally fell and married well |
| But I knew it wouldn’t last |
| Reversing back into the limelight |
| No one ever saw her even half plastered |
| Don’t bring me down |
| I’m trouble bound |
| Blue song, red alert |
| Who made Stella hurt? |
| Then she saw those soldier boys |
| Throw their bonnets in the air |
| Self-made men would pledge their fortunes |
| And dream of her and dream of her |
| Generals in the commissary |
| Opened up a case of wine |
| Checked the perfume of the cork |
| Said, «Made in 1929» |
| They used her up, to raise morale |
| For money and Old Glory |
| Her voice was shot beyond repair |
| But this is not the last act of this story |
| The night is black as cracked shellac |
| Abandoned in an attic |
| Stella is silent as the grave |
| Until the needle drags her through the static |
| Don’t bring me down |
| I’m trouble bound |
| Blue song, red alert |
| Who made Stella hurt? |
