Lyrics You could have been a roosevelt Aimee Mann

You could have been a roosevelt


Out into the world
With all the confidence and grace
That luck instills
Each and every girl
With dresses pressed
And faces fresh as daffodils

This could be us
But those were not the cards
That we were dealt
You're doomed to be a Kennedy
When you could have been a Roosevelt

Out into the world
You're sailing into life upon a glassy sea
Flags and sails unfurled
What must it be to be so young and whole and free

This could be us
But we're the graves
At which our fathers knelt
You're doomed to be a Kennedy
When you could have been a Roosevelt

And we're glad
We can see in them versions of the
Life that we almost had
Out into the world
Where certain things will always be beyond
Our scope
Just to be a girl
With Jean Nate and Pink Camay and
Yardley Soap

This could be us
But there was just a trust we never felt
It's hard to be a Kennedy
When you could have been a Roosevelt
It's hard to be a Kennedy
When you could have been a Roosevelt

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics YOU COULD HAVE BEEN A ROOSEVELT of AIMEE MANN is also present in the album Queens of the summer hotel (2021)

Biografia

Aimee Mann is an American singer-songwriter known for her indie pop style characterized by introspective lyrics and enveloping melodies. She began her career in the 1980s as the lead vocalist of the band 'Til Tuesday, achieving moderate success with singles like "Voices Carry". After the band's disbandment, Mann embarked on a successful solo career, releasing critically acclaimed albums such as "Bachelor No. 2" (1993) and "Magnolia" (1999), the latter being the soundtrack to Paul Thomas Anderson's film of the same name. In 2003, Mann founded her own record label, SuperEgo Records, to have greater control over her music. Her subsequent albums, such as "The Forgotten Arm" (2005) and "@#% and *!" (2017), have solidified her status as a successful independent artist. Some of Aimee Mann's most representative songs include "Save Me", "Wise Up", and "Deathly".
