  • Titre : Astronaut
  • Album : Who Killed Amanda Palmer
  • Année : 2008

Paroles :

is it enough to have some love
small enough to slip inside a book
small enough to cover with your hand
because everyone around you wants to look

is it enough to have some love
small enough to slip inside the cracks
the pieces don't fit together so good
with all the breaking and all the gluing back

and i am still not getting what i want
i want to touch the back of your right arm
i wish you could remind me who i was
because every day i'm a little further off

but you are, my love, the astronaut
flying in the face of science
i will gladly stay an afterthought
just bring back some nice reminders

and is it getting harder to pretend
that life goes on without you in the wake
and can you see the means without the end
in the random frantic action that we take

and is it getting easy not to care
despite the many rings around your name
it isn't funny and it isn't fair
you've traveled all this way and it's the same

but you are, my love, the astronaut
flying in the face of science
i will gladly stay an afterthought
just bring back some nice reminders

i would tell them anything to see you split the evening
but as you see i do not have an awful lot to tell
everybody's sick for something that they can find fascinating
everyone but you
and even you aren't feeling well

YES you are, my love, the astronaut
crashing in the name of science
just my luck they sent your upper half
it's a very nice reminder
it's a very nice reminder

(and you may be acquainted with the night
but i have seen the darkness in the day
and you must know it is a terrifying sight
because you and i are living the same way)

  • Année : 2008

Paroles :

my friend has problems with winter and autumn
they give him prescriptions, they shine bright lights on him
they say it's genetic, they say he can't help it
they say you can catch it - but sometimes you're born with it

my friend has blight he gets shakes in the night
and they say there is no way that they could have caught it in
time takes its toll on him, it is traditional
it is inherited predisposition

all day i've been wondering what is inside of me, who can i blame for it

i say:

it runs in the family, this famine that carries me
to such great lengths to open my legs
up to anyone who'll have me
it runs in the family, i come by it honestly
do what you want 'cause who knows it might fill me up

my friend's depressed, she's a wreck, she's a mess
they've done all sorts of tests and they guess it has something to do with her grandmother's
grandfather's grandmother civil war soldiers who
badly infected her
my friend has maladies, rickets, and allergies that she dates back to the 17th century
somehow she manages - in her misery - strips in the city
and shares all her best tricks with

me? well, i'm well. well, i mean i'm in hell. well, i still have my health
(at least that's what they tell me)
if wellness is this, what in hell's name is sickness?
but business is business!

and business
runs in the family, we tend to bruise easily
bad in the blood i'm telling you 'cause
i just want you to know me
know me and my family
we're wonderful folks but
don't get too close to me 'cause you might knock me up

mary have mercy now look what i've done
but don't blame me because i can't tell where i come from
and running is something that we've always done
well and mostly i can't even tell what i'm running from

i run from their pity
from responsibility
run from the country
and run from the city

i can run from the law
i can run from myself
i can run for my life
i can run into debt

i can run from it all
i can run till i'm gone
i can run for the office
and run from the 'cause

i can run using every last ounce of energy
i cannot
i cannot
i cannot
run from my family
they're hiding inside me
corpses on ice
come in if you'd like
but just don't tell my family
they'd never forgive me
they'll say that i'm crazy
but they would say anything if it would
shut me up.....

  • Titre : Ampersand
  • Album : Who Killed Amanda Palmer
  • Année : 2008

Paroles :

i walk down my street at night
the city lights are cold and violent
i am comforted by the approaching sound of trucks and sirens
even though the world's so bad, these men rush out to help the dying
and though i am no use to them i do my part by simply smiling

the ghetto boys are cat-calling me
as i pull my keys from my pocket
i wonder if this method of courtship has ever been effective
has any girl in history said “sure, you seem so nice, let's get it on”
still i always shock them when i answer “hi, my name's amanda” and

i'm not gonna live my life
on one side of an ampersand
and even if i went with you
i'm not the girl you think i am
and i'm not gonna match you
'cause i'll lose my voice completely
no, i'm not gonna watch you
'cause i'm not the one that's crazy

i have wasted years of my life
agonizing about the fires
i started when i thought that to be strong you must be flame-retardant
and now to dress the wounds calls into question
how authentic they are
there is always someone criticizing me
she just likes playing hospital

lying in my bed
i remember what you said
“there's no such thing as accidents...”

but you've got the headstones all ready
all carved up and pretty
your sick satisfaction
those his and hers matching
the daisies all push up in pairs to the horizon
your eyes full of ketchup, it's nice that you're trying
the headstones all ready
all carved up and pretty
your sick satisfaction
those his and hers matching
the daisies all push up in pairs to the horizon
your eyes full of ketchup, it's nice that you're trying

but i'm not gonna live my life
on one side of an ampersand
and even if i went with you
i'm not the girl you think i am

and i'm not gonna match you
'cause i'll lose my voice completely
no, i'm not gonna watch you
'cause i'm not the one that's crazy

as i wake up - two o'clock - the fire burned the block but ironically
stopped at my apartment and my housemates are all sleeping soundly
and nobody deserves to die, but you were awful adamant
that if i didn't love you then you had just one alternative
and i may be romantic
and i may risk my life for it
but i ain't gonna die for you
you know i ain't no juliet
and i'm not gonna watch you
while you burn yourself out, baby
no, i'm not gonna stop you
'cause i'm not the one that's crazy

Paroles :

it's just like you to paint those whiter fences

it's so polite it's so polite it's offensive it's offensive
it's so unright it's so unright it's a technical accept it

but who needs love when there's law & order
and who needs love when there's southern comfort
and who needs love at all

we stalk you your expert double exes
we oxidize you in your sleep there's no exit there's no exit

you're on a roll you're on a roll no one gets it no one gets it
your honor no your honor can't you protect us, protect us

and who needs love when there's dukes of hazard
and who needs love
when the sandwiches are wicked and they know you at the mac store
