lirik lagu grace petrie - louise
[verse 1]
recently i made a friend
and i’m calling her louise
everyone calls her louise
my friend’s name’s louise
we met each other at a protest
full of righteous feminists
our eyes met beneath the placards
and our synchronised clenched fists
[verse 2]
we shared humour, we shared views
shared our socialist values
we were politically aligned
friendship sparks began to fly
wе were cut from the samе tree
and i wondered, privately
when would be too soon to text
and arrange to see her next
[verse 3]
three weeks in, louise and me
we’re in contact frequently
marxist readings, vegan meals
can’t believe how good it feels
then last week, louise confessed
she’s been feeling pretty stressed
i said, “what’s this stress about?”
she said, “my tenant’s moving out”
[verse 4]
i said, “what do you mean by tenant?”
she said, “the tenant in my house”
i said, “what do you mean your house?
i thought you lived with just your spouse”
louise laughed and said, “how funny!
no, i didn’t mean my home
i was referring to the tenant
in the rental house i own”
[chorus]
louise is a f~cking landlord
who prioritises greed
over the rights of poorer people
to fulfil a basic need
louise is a f~cking landlord
and i didn’t even guess
she’s profiteering off exploiting
human beings who have less
oh, what a mess
[verse 5]
i know there’s people in here thinking
whatever happened to ‘be kind’?
and those people will be landlords
who deserve to be maligned
they’ll be laughing along, thinking
of their small portfolio
one thing i can say for landlords
is they love a left~wing show
[verse 6]
and if the conversation turn to
housing inequality
they’ll be nodding along, thinking
this does not apply to me
they’ll be teeing up excuses
the defences they’ve amassed
while listening to alastair campbell
and rory stewart’s cursed podcast
[chorus]
saying things like
“what if my parents bought it for me?”
“what if my granny left it to me?”
“what if i flipped it for the income?”
“what if it’s really just a pension?”
and not to mention
“what if i’m a decent landlord?
where on god’s earth would we be
without all the decent landlords
all the decent ones like me?
[verse 7]
now louise and me speak rarely
social media at most
she shares memes all about brexit
and every led by donkeys post
i thought we were socialist sisters
thought we stood for the same thing
i guess i inferred too much from
her undercut and nose ring
