Amanda Palmer - Runs in the family
Tekst :
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 despite he gets shakes in the night and they say that there s no way that they could have caught it in
Time takes his toll on him it is traditional, it is inherited predispositional
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 family that carries me to such great lengths, to open my legs up to anyone who ll have me
It runs in the family I came 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 grandmother s grandmother civil war soldiers who probably infected her
My friend has maladies (something?) and allergies that she dates back to the 17th century
Somehow she manages, in her misery strips in the city and shows all her best tricks
I mean 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 hells name is sickness?
But business is business and BUSINESS
Runs in the family we tend to bruise easily mad 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 help 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
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 from my life I can run into debt
I can run from it all I can run til I m gone I can run for the office and run for my cause
I can run using every last ounce of energy
I cannot, I cannot, I cannot
Run from my family they re hiding inside of me (Don t change my life) help me if you might but just don t tell
My family they d never forgive me they d say that I m crazy but they would say anything if it would
Shut me up
Shut me up
Shut me up

Amanda Palmer - A short history of nearly nothing
Tekst :
GO!
Uh.
Duh da da.
Uh.
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?
It is enough to have some love,
small enough to fit 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.
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
Uuuh.
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 have the upper half,
it s a very nice reminder.
It s a very nice reminder.
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh.
Uh uh uh uh uh.
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.
Amanda Palmer - Another year
Tekst :
I tried to fall in it again
My friends took bets and disappeared
They mime their sighing violins
I think I ll wait another year
I want my chest pressed to your chest
My nervous systems interfere
Ten or eleven months have passed
I think I ll wait another year
This weather turns my tricks to rust
I am a lousy engineer
The winter makes things hard enough
I think I ll wait another year
Plus I m only twenty-six years old
My grandma died at eighty-three
That s lots of time if I don t smoke
I think I ll wait another year
I m not as callous as you think
I barely breath when you are near
It s not as bad when I don t drink
I think I ll wait another year
I have my new Bill Hicks CD
I have my friends and my career
I m getting smaller by degrees
You said you d help me disappear
But that could take forever
I think I ll wait another year
It ll be the best year ever
I think I ll wait another year
Can t we just wait together
You bring the smokes, I ll bring the beer
I think I ll wait another year
Inne utwory
Losowe utwory
Miała bardzo dużo piegów rude włosy śmieszny nos
Dobra była z angielskiego i z fizyki też jej szło
Nie mówiła nigdy wiele w domu troje było ich
Ojciec był nauczycielem i miał na nich dobry wpływ
Klasa jej nie polubiła może przez ten śmieszny nos
Chociaż dobrze się uczyła i z fizyki też jej...
I come runnin when the beat starts.
Ya ll kick it to me.
Spitting out lyrics like a cross dressing dope fiend.
I m working in,
I m working hard for the best of it.
Beating just the best of them but I want to get the rest of them....
In the forests of eternal dreaming
Old oaks lighted up by the fullmoon s light
The coldness of dungeon touches the inside of wooden maze
From the womb of mother-wolf I was born
The witches foretold in the hearts of my enemies
In the midnight...
When I got to the party, they gave me a forty and I must ve been thristy cause I drank it so quickly
When I got to the bedroom there was somebody waiting and it isn t my fault that the prevarian raped me
When I went to get tested I...
Your souls are nailed to the cross
The blood still runs
but the wounds will heal
and leave scars of rememberance.
