Sam Fender - Greasy Spoon (Lyrics)
“The act of a man speaking for a woman can not often be described as Feminist. “I am a woman,”claims Fender, speaking for his heroine in the July release ‘Greasy Spoon.’ His character’s portrayal is not, as we have heard many times, a view of a woman through the prism of the male singer’s affection, or a description of physical charms, but rather a mostly third person narrative description of her professional life, commute and daily struggles. The story is hers. Fender has no fictional involvement other than to hear her through the walls. Of course under a different spin, Fender’s portrayal could so easily be criticised – “But it’s a woman’s story! In a man’s voice! Only a woman can say what it’s like to be a woman!”(?) But this snapshot of a life spent in discomfort is triumphant in its empathy and relatability – (“She hardly breathes/ when you’re in her/ breathing space”) and the tackling, itself, of a subject as contentious as everyday sexism is exactly what makes the portrayal brave. ‘Greasy Spoon’ earned the title of BBC Introducing Track Of The Week, and deservedly so.” - Bitter Sweet Symphonies, Zoe Peck, October 24 2017

♪ lyrics ♪
Sickly sweet candied meat
In a fragrant greasy spoon
Knock back black coffee
Working 'til the afternoon
She hardly sleeps
She hardly eats
She hardly breathes
When you're in her breathing space
Cat calling white van patrolling
The streets as she walks from work
Rip hard and jeer from afar
As he sits with a drooling smirk
She hardly sleeps
She hardly eats
She hardly breathes
When you're in her breathing space
She brushes it off
Like she always does
Drops through the subway
Disappears with a flood
I am a woman
I am a woman
I am a woman
I am a woman
She comes over I hear her moan
The walls are paper thin
Friends come over, they pass her round
Her head goes round the bend
She hardly sleeps
She hardly eats
She hardly breathes
When you're in her breathing space
She brushes it off
Like she always does
Puts on her makeup
Faces the day as she hardly sleeps
She hardly eats
She hardly breathes
When you're in her breathing space
I am a woman
I am a woman
I am a woman
I am a woman
I am your mother
I am your sister
I am your daughter
I am a woman
