It’s a Selfie Lyrics by Tony Visconti

2019

Lonely Child, was an only child
Music made him happy
Lonely Child, made his parents smile
Music made them happy
It's a Selfie
It's a Selfie
If you want something done well
Sometimes you just have to do it yourself
Yours truly played everything on this record
Except for the tenor sax
That was played by Brooklyn born Richie Cannata
The fantastic Richie Cannata from Billy Joels band
And from Fullerton California; Greg Holt
The Fantastic Greg Holt played the fiddle and he knows Kung Fu
From Saint Louis Missouri
The Fantastic Kristeen Young
One of the greatest singers I know
Gave me permission to sample her voice
[Screaming]
And the spoken voices were from Daphne Guinness
and Malcolm Doherty
Bringing a touch of class to the record
(The Purpose of Love)
And my daughters, Laura Visconti
and Jessica Lee Morgan sang backing vocals
(Ohhhhhhh noooo)
And my friend Alejandro Escovedo wrote Mystery Man with me
An the drums, some of them on loops I copped from the 90s
and some I programmed from scratch
and the rest come from Drumcore
Thank You, Drumcore
So this is my Selfie
And these are my demos
Why re-record them
They're good enough for me
It's a Selfie
(It's a Selfie)
It's a Selfie
(It's a Selfie)
Lonely Child, was an only child
Music made him happy
Lonely Child, made his parents smile
Music made them happy.
