NightWing ADD: (theres no hope for) Mediocre Me (9) RE: Lyr Req: theres no hope for mediocre me 18 Aug 23


Here are the lyrics I got from that YouTube recording. Three lines I'm unsure of (including the first line of the chorus, which appears twice), marked with [?]. Yes, the first line is them singing the title.

Mediocre Me
Music and Lyrics by Jim McPherson
Recorded by Stained Glass (1967, RCA Records)

Mediocre Me

There's no help for Mediocre Me
Even mum and dad deserted me
Left inside a basket
I was placed beside a door
Left with me a note that said,
"A present from a store" [the stork?]

There's no help for Mediocre Me
Must be bad blood in my family tree
My great grandfather smuggled
Whiskey into jail
Poor Uncle Fred was hung
For stealing his own mail

-- CHORUS --
Something just happened by [just passed me by?]
Is it love or just a dream
Ooh, but to my surprise
I passed a mirror
It's just me

There's no help for Mediocre Me
So my friend a shrink I went to see
First he found neurosis
And described [prescribed?] a crystal ball [?]
Then he found psychosis
Then he found no mind at all

-- CHORUS --
Something just happened by [?]
Is it love or just a dream
Ooh, but to my surprise
I passed a mirror
It's just me

There's no help for Mediocre Me
There's no help for Mediocre Me
There's no help for Mediocre Me

I must say that I'm ... less than impressed by this lyric.

BB,
NightWing
