lyrics

Damsel in Distress
© 2005, Sue Fink

Tie myself onto the track
Wonderin’ when that train comes back
Wonderin’ if you’ll come along and save me
Please remove me from disaster
Praise my skin of alabaster
Or I’ll have to use the wits God gave me

[Chorus]
HELP me, HELP me, damsel in distress
I want your attention so I get into a mess
HELP me, HELP me, damsel in distress
– Or I’ll have to save myself, I guess

Standing on the ledge so thin
Window’s stuck, I can’t get in!
I need your assistance but you can’t be found
Turning dark and ten below
No one’s coming by and so…
Guess I’ll jump the three feet to the ground

[Chorus]

I know you like to help a girl in trouble –
She the damsel, you the dashing gent
And I’m trying not to burst your bubble
Can I help it that I’m just so com-pe-tent…

At the crime scene I’m the hero
Helpless quotient less than zero
Quick karate chop, the bad guy’s on the floo-oor
Then I see you passing by, I
Hand the gun back to the guy,
Pleading, “Won’t you hold me up once more?”

[Chorus]

Wish I were more helpless, I confess
– Though all this fainting causes me some stress
But I’ll do anything for your caress…
Just trying to be the damsel in distress!

Sue Fink Chicago, Illinois

Chicago-based singer-songwriter Sue Fink enchants audiences with her whimsical perspective on the world. Her genre, “urban campfire cabaret,” is folk with a hint of jazz, a large dollop of humor, and a drop of sadness for good measure: think Christine Lavin, with a dash of Rickie Lee Jones, Melanie, and Nellie McKay. ... more
