Dandy

A dandy, historically, is a man who places particular importance upon physical appearance, refined language, and leisurely hobbies, pursued with the appearance of nonchalance in a cult of self. A dandy could be a self-made man who strove to imitate an aristocratic lifestyle despite coming from a middle-class background, especially in late 18th- and early 19th-century Britain. Previous manifestations of the petit-maître (French for "small master") and the Muscadin have been noted by John C. Prevost, but the modern practice of dandyism first appeared in the revolutionary 1790s, both in London and in Paris.

You built up walls that I ran through, happily
Together we formed our garden
I thought by now beneath the ground would have deeper roots
You pulled on me expecting a early harvest
And I’d try to call but I know that would hurt way too much
But I’ll let them know that was my favorite part
And this tongue won’t curse my former counterparts
Cause there’s two sides to what it was
Cause you were honey suckles
And wild flowers that bloomed lilacs perfume
Cause you were tiger lilies
And summer freckles and you
Came crashing through
I never thought I’d have to run, but loves not cheap
Seems like you’d expect a bargain
Hear me out before you send a firing squad
Your final words trample over vital blossoms
And I’d try to call but I know that would hurt way too much
But I’ll let them know that was my favorite part
And my tongue won’t curse my former counterparts
Cause there’s two sides to what it was
Cause you were honey suckles
And wild flowers that bloomed lilacs perfume
Cause you were tiger lilies
And summer freckles and you
Came crashing through
