Dear Jenny - Lyrics - No, Virginia... - The Dresden Dolls

Title: Dear Jenny
Album: No, Virginia...
Artist: The Dresden Dolls
Composer(s): Amanda Mackinnon Palmer

Lyric:
Boys wear overcoats in heat like this to keep themselves from showing
Girls fill out prescriptions for the tricks
That keep their hearts from growing
Specialists review the year in tears and call for drastic measures
Send them to resorts for boys and girls to get their wits together

Sad but true, the facts of life are bound to get you down
What's the use dear Jenny
Anyway the world is pretty
World is pretty

Ashley talks to astronauts back home by means of fax transmission
Andy gets a new tattoo each time he gets back bathroom privilege
Weary oh so drearily we wave our flags into the camera
Amber goes, the hotlines are all friends but no one ever answers

Sad but true, the truth can turn your smile to a frown
Oh, what's the use dear Jenny
Anyway the world is pretty, world is pretty
World is pretty upside down

The rates are better in the summer
The rates are better in the summer
Looks like old Jenny's doing better
Her rates are better in the summer

Back at home the broadcast warning bounces off of an empty table
Jenny asks the astronauts to sleep with her behind the stable
Christmas hasn't been the same since dad put in the central heating
Checks you before bedtime with a battery
To keep your new heart beating

And the world might turn a million times around
Before they tell you Jenny
Anyway the world is happy, world is happy
World is happy, world is happy

Sometimes they let strangers in
And other times they check their records
When they check out in the morning dad puts out the lie detectors
Jenny prays to God she's never heard of for a special warning
All the walls stay dead as Jenny's head is but she's still observing

Sad but true, the two of us might really make it through
Otherwise what's the use dear Jenny
Anyway the world is happy, world is happy
World is happy without you

The rates are better in the summer
The rates are better in the summer
Looks like old Jenny's doing better
The rates are better in the summer

Boston - Lyrics - No, Virginia... - The Dresden Dolls

Title: Boston
Album: No, Virginia...
Artist: The Dresden Dolls
Composer(s): Amanda Mackinnon Palmer

Lyric:
All the cities in the world and so very little time
And so many different girls, all you have to do is find them
There's a wealth of opportunity, you plan your trips accordingly
A pity but the pretty ones are usually more touristy

Say, how'd you like to run away from these machines?
Everywhere the spies are printing out your dreams
Seven stops in seven different countries seven page itineraries
Memories thick as Bloody Marys, Jesus, Joseph, bloody hell

Right now we're here in Boston
In love with downtown crossing
New York will still be there in the morning
Come back to bed my darling

Four years thrown away on vows we never kept
Forty five minutes every day religiously devoted to regret
Time we could have spent on medication thrown away on education
And we planned to take a trip to Scotland but we never made it

How'd you like to run away from these machines?
I had Julian's and Steve's, you had Julia's and Jeanette's
You wear your terror on your sleeve for all the men I haven't met
(Yet)
I had Oliver in Potsdam, you had Elanor in Amsterdam

We're keeping track so carefully
We've missed the state we're in completely
Honestly your foot is out the door
And I've got scores of offers elsewhere and keep both
Feet planted firmly in the air

And tomorrow you can totally erase me from your mind
But trust me everything is fine because

Right now we're here in Boston
In my apartment in the south end
Forget your year in London
Come back to bed my darling

You can put the details in a letter
The more embarrassing the better
Right now I can be happy if I choose to
I know that in the morning I will lose you

And maybe you'll go mad
And maybe I'll go gray and pack up to Berlin
Or maybe it won't matter anyway

We'll find out that your mom was right
And you'll admit you're really gay
And maybe I'll wake up in a city far away

Or maybe we'll make up and buy a house
And have a couple kids and Labrador and microwave
But anyway

Right now we're here in Boston
In Eden where you almost pulled your pants down
Don't worry who these jokes will all be lost on
Come back to bed my darling

There is nothing in the world that we can count on
Even that we will wake up is an assumption
But I know for a fact that I loved someone
And for about a year he lived in Boston

The Mouse & The Model - Lyrics - No, Virginia... - The Dresden Dolls

Title: The Mouse & The Model
Album: No, Virginia...
Artist: The Dresden Dolls
Composer(s): Amanda Mackinnon Palmer

Lyric:
Nothing is certain at this time of day
You could reverberate, you could decay
The mouse and the model are laughing at us
We'll risk it, we're desperate for someone to trust

Let's start a new heart, the new charts are in
We'll take them, we'll break them, we'll make them give in

By counting your blessings you wind up in debt
It starts with your family and camps in your bed
You Jekyll and hide it when you could have left
Your guard down, your dress up, you must be upset

Let's start a new heart, the new charts are in
We'll take them, we'll break them, we'll make them give in

It's dark over here on the flip side of reason
The teaser could be something easy like they did it in a book
You're a crook, you're a fake you committed
If you did it, say you did it, if you didn't suck it up and say you did

Let's start a new heart, the new charts are in
We'll tax them, relax them and make them forfeit
The vote by a landslide, the Jekyll and Hyde
Mackenzie macabre, she's Bonnie and Clyde

The Sheep Song - Lyrics - No, Virginia... - The Dresden Dolls

Title: The Sheep Song
Album: No, Virginia...
Artist: The Dresden Dolls
Composer(s): Amanda Mackinnon Palmer

Lyric:
Red brush, washing up
Look I made America hush, hush
Don?t, don?t rush
And don?t try to care too much

Brown wine, turpentine
Somethings mustn't be combined
Sleep now, never fear
All your animals are here

Counting sheep, I lay me down to sleep
But I see a sheep that will not leave
From the back they catch him in a trap
Hit his head and send him off to bed

Cutting by numbers is kinder
Invest in one with a silencer
All of the studies say if they?re
Calm when they die then they taste better

Cutting by numbers is kinder
Invest in the one with the silencer
All of the studies say if they?re calm
When they die then they taste better

Goodbye olive sky
I am crying all the time
There, there, don?t despair
We will find your sheep somewhere

Teenage 20/20 - Lyrics - Manic Street Preachers

Title: Teenage 20/20
Artist: Manic Street Preachers
Composer(s): James Dean Bradfield, Richard James Edwards, Nicholas Allen Jones, Sean Anthony Moore

Lyric:
I wanna wake to a shot parade of wealth
And take a spray can to my useless vote
I don't like your city Dresden dance
I'm drowning in a manufactured ego-fuck

We're dead end dolls and nothing's moving
We're dead end dolls and nothing's moving
We're dead end dolls and nothing's moving

Speeding so lonely into wall after wall
Teenage 20/20 beat the in-call
Sick to the stomach of our fingertip scrawl
All your rebellion corporation owned

We're dead end dolls and nothing's moving
We're dead end dolls and nothing's moving
We're dead end dolls and nothing's moving
