about

The life and death of Studio 54's notorious wild-child Jeri-Lee Visser, otherwise known as Tinkerbelle.

"I've been a go-go dancer, a stenographer, an actress, a comedian, a tap dancer, a dance teacher, a film critic, a maid, a designer, a fashion model, a singer, a publicist, a journalist, a computer operator. I have appeared on national television. I have collected endless unemployment. I have worked, wage-slaved, struggled and triumphed and lost"

Once about someone else, twice about yourself.

lyrics

Trust your instincts now
You never had the chance before
Counting coins, you hid from sight
China and silk, for the wedding night

You call yourself Tinkerbelle
Tinkerbelle
And no-one thought to ask

Couldn't you behave yourself
For a minute
Couldn't you behave yourself
For a minute

How long could that last
Your luck must run out someday
You were the proof, when you jumped from the roof
You were the proof, when you jumped from that roof

Tinkerbelle
Tinkerbelle
And who could argue that

Couldn't you contain yourself
For a minute
Couldn't you contain yourself
For a minute
Couldn't you contain yourself
For a minute
Couldn't you contain yourself
For a minute
