audrey lavergne, “put me down,”
from: Evil For Good, 2007
“Have no fear, said the brain
Put me down, put me down
Lots of good fun we can have
Put me down, please put me down
I do not wish to fall
I do not wish to fall
Have no fear, the heart said
Put me down, put me down
Trust and you won’t hesitate
Put me down, please put me down
I do not wish to fall
I do not wish to fall
Shed no tears, said the brain
Put me down, put me down
Lots of good fun we will have
Put me down, please put me down
I do not wish to fall
I do not wish to fall”
Who is the “I” who doesn’t wish to fall? The brain, the heart, or the singer?
