"Moviegoer" is taken from Julia Jacklin's new album, PRE PLEASURE, out August 26, 2022.
Lyrics:
It opens with a wide shot
the scene is bare, dry and hot
there’s a vintage car, outside of a bar
someone thin is smoking, with a look all knowing
probably dressed in black, in act two they crack
moviegoers’ twenty dollars down
loves to throw their film knowledge around the workplace
movie director is going down too
twenty million dollars still nobody understands you
where the grass is greener, kitchen bench top’s cleaner
there’s no rubbish here, no physical fear
the family dog is younger, with a healthy liver
they can run real fast, this time avoid the cars
moviegoers forty dollars down
nobody from work invites them round for dinner
movie director is going down too
forty million dollars still nobody loves you
moving through the city, somebody runs into me
they apologise, I apologise
we are both so sorry, they say come on try it on me
if you can say it to a stranger, you can call your sister later
moviegoers 60 dollars down now
watching the ship go down with the hero
movie director is going down to
the bar on the corner hoping to meet someone new
