Frances Bean from Fall by The Emotron
Written in Philly in 2009 during Frances Beans Birthday week. Got commissioned to write a song for the ending credits of a small DIY film. "Frances Bean" became a jam played as soon as it was programmed.

Lyrics
Happy Birthday Frances Bean
2009 August 18th
Your beautiful to me
& your turning 17
Your fathers name is Kurt
& your mom is Courtney Love
They freaked it once & in 9 months
Your hanging out with us
We celebrate your birth
& we mourn at KC’s death
& we thank the lord above
for
Everything they left
Like someone named Frances Bean
Named after the Vasolines
Like Inutero, Incesticide
Nevermind & Bleach
Why can’t the Emotron play your party like M.S.I.
Why can’t our Godfather be god dang Michael Stipe
It’s probably because
Happy Birthday Frances Bean
A fella in his teens
Was changed by everything
Your papa ever did
He writes with his left hand
I write with my left hand
I am an alien that no one understands
But I will try to live
& learn from what he did
& teach the younger kids
They don’t have to put up w/ shit
You don’t have to live in the same shitty town
That your parents live in & will never leave
You don’t have to grow up or get a job to succeed
Why can’t the Emotron play your party like M.S.I.
Why can’t our Godfather be god dang Michael Stipe
It’s probably because your Dad
is friggin God
Happy Birthday
