Lyrics
She Said Her Name Was Saffron by Marc Gunn, June 13, 2007 I received an email while I was in Ireland for a contest by SerenityStuff.com to write a song about Saffron (or YoSaffBridge), the beautiful and manipulative vixen from Firefly. She was one of my favorite bad guys in the show. And being in Ireland, a melody came easy. I wrote the song to "May Morning Dew", a beautiful Irish ballad. I met her on the Outer Rim. She was a beauty. There's no denial. We danced around the fire that night. In the morning, I awoke all smiles. But when my boat hit atmo, And she said that we were married. T'was then I vowed I'd never again Leave quick when I should tarry. She said her name was Saffron, A prize for work done well. I know we'd done some good works, But this time I guess excelled. For her smile it made my legs weak, And her breasts they made me wheeze. Oh if I were a different man, Then I'd show her the Real me. That night I found her in my bunk Lying naked in my bed. She gave me the Goodnight Kiss And I thought that I was dead. We'd all be but for Inara... Oh, I wonder how she knew? But what I really wish is I could've seen The kiss between those two. But that's not the point of this song, right now, From this lesson I learnt too well. If you take strange women into your bed You may go to the Special Hell. Either pin her down or set her free Just don't let your plan go South. If that don't work, then follow Jayne's advice, "Never kiss them on the mouth."
