Jonah Me (Hey, David) (Homage to David Bowie)

shaky female voice, raspy female vocal, weary, melancholy, slow singing, syncopated, tired group, dark gospel punk

V3.5

## PREFACE

🤓 'Jonah Me' sounds very similar to 'Mon Ami' 🤓

🤓 The phrase "Jonah Me" is inspired by two Bowie songs: 'Lazarus' and 'Girl Loves Me', thus forming a phrase similar in meaning to 'Save Me'. The phrase "Where the fuck are thee" is a modified refrain 'Where the fuck did Monday go?' from 'Girl Loves Me', which is a mini-homage within a homage 🤓

🤓 A story of Jonah in short: Jonah, a prophet, disobeyed God's command and was swallowed by a giant whale as punishment. After three days, Jonah repented and was vomited out onto dry land, where he delivered God's message to the people of Nineveh. That makes it all even more resonating with the original 'Lazarus' theme 🤓

🤓 The blue coua, a striking blue bird native to Madagascar (a rogue island itself), is crucial for seed dispersal, but it leaves its eggs in the nests of other birds to raise. The author can't have children and doesn't have the option or will to raise one 🤓

🤓 Wingwoman (Slang): A woman who helps, guides, or supports another, especially one who assists a friend in trying to seduce another person. In the song, a woman is high to mute the pain and can't hold anything, 'cause she has "wings", not hands. Referencing an angel or a bird, but not stating it explicitly 🤓

🤓 Mannequin comes from the French word mannequin, which had acquired the meaning "an artist's jointed model", which in turn came from the Flemish word 'manneken', meaning 'little man, figurine', referring to late Middle Ages practice in Flanders whereby public display of even women's clothes was performed by male pages (boys). It's also a reference to crash test dummies and a strong feeling of gender dysphoria 🤓

🤓 The name Monday Pain, known as my singer's name, is also coming from the line "Where the fuck did Monday go?" 🤓

## LYRICS

See the color, I'm a hellion,
I've got scars from a mutiny,
I've got drama and was hanging,
Everybody hates me now.

Look up here, babe, I'm a stranger.
And I've got no other news.
I'm so high, 'cause I'm a wing-girl,
Dropped my cell phone kiss the floor.

Ain't it just like me?

By the time I got to Frankfurt,
I was just a mannequin. 
There I used up all my money,
I was acting like a fool.

This way was a dead end, time to break free.
Just like a blue coua now, ain't that just like me?
Oh, I'll be free, just like a blue coua...
Oh, I'll be free, ain't it just like me?

Where the fuck are thee?..
(Just like a blue coua)
Where the fuck are thee?..
(Just like a blue coua)
Where the fuck are thee?..
(Just like a blue coua)
Where the fuck are thee?..
(Just like a blue coua)
