I Was Brought Up In A Tenement

I Have A Calling In My Soul, If You Like, To Try To Make My Life In Some Way Worthwhile. What Is The Value Of My Existence?

There's Always Darkness Around, And If You Focus On The Darkness, You Don't Know Where To Go. But If You Direct Yourself At The Light - There It Is! It's Right There.

I Stand On The Shoulders Of Giants That Have Gone Before Me, In Terms Of Affording People Like Myself, Women, The Access To Democracy, The Vote, Medical Treatment, Education, Everything That I've Been Given. It's All Been Earned.

I've Never Been A Social Person. When I Grew Up, The Other Girls Would All Be Combing Their Hair And Exchanging Lipstick, And I Just Couldn't Do That Group Thing.

The Music Industry Has Always Been A Beast, Which Would Eat You Up And Spit You Out.
