Dear Herr Stief - Moritz,
Iâve spent the entire day thinking about your note
Truly it touched me â it did â that you would think of me as a friend
Of course, I was saddened to hear that you exams went off less well than youâd hoped
And that you will not be promoted, come fall
And, yet, I must say straightaway that fleeing to America is hardly the solution
And, even if it were, I cannot provide the money you requestâ¦
Uh huhâ¦uh huhâ¦uh huhâ¦well, fine
Not like itâs even worth the time
But still, you know, you wanted more
Sorry, it wonât change â been there before
You would do me wrong, Herr Stiefel to read into my refusal any lack of affection
On the contrary, as Melchiorâs mother, I truly believe it to be my duty to curb this momentary lossâ¦
The things that sucks â okay? â for me
A thousand bucks, Iâm, like, scott free
And I mean, pleaseâ¦Thatâs all I need
Get real, Jose!
By now you know the scoreâ¦
Should you like, I am ready to write your parents
I will try to convince them that no one couldâve worked harder last semester
And also that too rigorous a condemnation of your current misfortune
Could have the gravest possible effect onâ¦
You wanna laugh, itâs too absurd
You start to ask, canât hear a word
Youâre gonna crash and burn
Right, tell me moreâ¦
Still, Herr Stiefel, one thing in your letter disturbed me
Your â what shall we call it? â veiled threat that should escape not be possible
You would take your own lifeâ¦
Okay, so now we do the play
Act like we so care. No way!
Youâll write my folks? Well, okay
Babe, thatâs how it goesâ¦
My dear boy, the world is filled with men â
Businessmen, scientists, scholars even who have done rather poorly in school
And, yet, have gone on to brilliant careers
Consider our friendâ¦
Theyâll freak, or wonât
You toe the line
You tell your soul, âJust kill some time.â
Will it quit? It will until they donâtâ¦
Theyâre not my home, not anymore
Not like they so were before
Still, Iâll split, and theyâll likeâ¦
Well, who knows?
I any case, I assure you that your present misfortune will have no effect on my feelings for you
Or, on your relationship with Melchiorâ¦
Uh huhâ¦uh huhâ¦uh huhâ¦well, fine
Not like itâs even worth the time
But still, you know, you wanted more
Okay, so nothingâs changed â heard that before
You wanna laugh, itâs too absurd
You start to ask, canât hear a word
You want to crash a burn
Right, tell me more
You start to cave, you start to cry
You try to run, nowhere to hide
You want to crumble up, and close that door
So, head high, Herr Stiefel!
And do let me hear from you soon
In the meantime, I am unchangingly, and most fondly yours,
Fanny Gabor
Just fuck it â right? Enough, thatâs it
Youâll still go on â well, for a bit
Another day of utter shit
And then there were noneâ¦
And, then there were noneâ¦
And, then there were noneâ¦
And, then there were noneâ¦
