lyrics

She was a flapper, she did whatever she wanted to
Thumbed her nose at convention and the well to do

She was eccentric, charismatic and full of grace
outfits all the rage, musings center stage

she didn’t care what was thought or said
she blazed her own trail with signature flair
seizing the day was her way
bringing to life her escapades

She was a rebel
an iron hand in a velvet glove
feisty and strong she didn’t take flack from anyone

she was tough not one to back down
she held her own with the speakeasy crowd
dainty perhaps but not afraid to fight back
wit and humor wasn’t something she lacked

Lipstick was her name
Tables For Two brought her to fame
Carving her own way, no excuses no pity no blame

She was a flapper, with an eye for how to play the game
spinning words like fine silk within a web

She was magnetic with legions of fans
eager to know the life they couldn’t live first hand

Can you see it’s really you and me
Traveling through time making skeleton keys
A treasure trove writings of old
an alchemy of notions to behold

You can conquer all in the end
Even if you get to heaven by going through hell
Success is the best revenge.
Tipping the hat, bow of the head

Can you see it’s really you and me...

You can conquer all in the end
Even if you get to heaven by going through hell
Success is the best revenge
tipping the hat, a bow of the head

Love conquers all in the end
you know it’s on earth you make heaven and hell
Success is the best revenge a triumph that just can’t be taken away

French-born vocalist Samantha Stephenson sings with a gothy heft and authority while former punk rock bassist turned guitarist, live looping master Scott Helland weaves his spidery electro/acoustic guitar melodies and cheeky garage noir riffage to perfectly complement Stephenson’s vocals. ... more
