The next big thing


Hello
It's me
I'm returning your call
It's Monday Wednesday Friday
Between noon and three
He says I usually just let the phone ring
But I've always got a minute of time
For the next big thing

And I wonder
How can he see where he's going
With those dollar signs in front of his eyes?
I say thank you for your interest
But my thing is already just the right size

Hello
It's me
Yes I'll play for the door
Nothing more
On a Tuesday
He says baby
What is your name
I forgot
He says baby
Tell me again
Are you really hot

And I think
He does not hear what I'm saying
He's just looking at my eight by ten
And wondering about
The part that was left out
Does she have a body
That will really draw them in?

How much do you want
How much are you willing to do
Baby this is no business
For a sweet little girl like you
Can you play the game
Act it out
Frame for frame
Do you know your lines
Let's hear them one more time

But I'd rather pay my dues to the six people sitting at the bar
Than to all those men in their business suits
Who say I'll take you away from this
If you'll just get in the car

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 

The lyrics THE NEXT BIG THING of ANI DIFRANCO is also present in the album Not so soft (1991)

Biografia

Ani DiFranco (nata Angela Marie Di Franco) è una cantautrice, musicista e attivista americana di origini italo-americane. Considerata un'icona del folk alternativo e della musica indipendente, DiFranco si distingue per la sua voce potente, le sue liriche introspettive e il suo stile musicale eclettico che fonde elementi di folk, rock, hip hop e jazz. Iniziò a suonare in locali underground all'età di 16 anni, pubblicando il suo primo album indipendente nel 1990. DiFranco ha sempre mantenuto un forte controllo creativo sul suo lavoro, fondando la sua etichetta discografica, Righteous Babe Records, nel 1990. La sua musica affronta temi sociali come il femminismo, la giustizia sociale e l'ambiente, guadagnandosi il rispetto di una vasta fanbase che apprezza la sua autenticità e la sua capacità di parlare a un pubblico ampio con sincerità e coraggio. Tra i suoi brani più rappresentativi figurano "Not A Pretty Girl", "32 Flavors" e "Little Plastic Castle".
